Drop me a PM or post in here on how you got it running and what is going on, i've always preferred Linux but usually getting games to work on it is a nightmare!

Ubuntu 15.04

Go to the play on linux site and install play on linux as detailed there
Install the ubuntu package for wine
Download the installer from this site
Launch PlayOnLinux
Click Install a program
Install a non listed program
Click next a lot
select the installer you downloaded
click next a lot
the installer will run, and then the launcher will run, the launcher will update, but it only gets to 99% and then you have to close it.
make a link to the SomaDevLauncher.exe in PlayOnLinux
click the link and then click configure
click the installed components tab
click and install mfc42
click the Wine tab and click Configure Wine, this should launch a Windows'ey app
click Graphics and check "Emulate a virtual desktop".
OK out of and close all dialogues.

Click run in play on linux and the launcher should load and update
uncheck windowed mode
click play

you should be able to log on and the character selection screen loads
there is then an error about the exe being the wrong version and the app exits after you click OK

the full game worked in a previous patch, i believe the previous update killed linux support :(

the game was somewhat playable under wine in the previous patch, text would disapear from menus but i could run around and hit stuff
