OCTGN on non Windows systems
Updated for OCTGN 3.4.207.0 on Mac OSX 10.13.6 (Warning, this may not work on OSX 10.14 -- Mojave, and/or require further updates)
If you're going to be reporting bugs, please tag them as Wine, and also add it to this page to centralize them, if possible.
With 3.1+ versions of OCTGN, it's possible to run it on non-Windows systems using Wine, Winetricks, and native dotnet.
The install only takes a few minutes if you are a bit familiar with the command line.
This page will try to help you through it step by step but some parts might be different for your distro.
Linux:
wine 1.5.29+ (download here)
winetricks svn826+ (comes bundled with wine)
Mac OSX 10.5.3+:
wine 1.5.29+ (1.5.5+ if you install X11/XQuartz)
winetricks svn826+
(both are available via MacPorts, Fink, or Brew. Preferably not Brew.)
XCode is likely a requirement, as well, since most packages will have to be built.
Mac OSX 10.7+:
Some form of samba, for its winbind implementation, as Apple dropped it starting on 10.7. There's some packaged options, or use MacPorts/fink/brew
Linux:
Follow the guide on the wine website on how to download the wine 1.5 beta.
MacPorts (commands using bash shell):
sudo port install wine-devel winetricksIf you need samba:
sudo port install samba3After install:
Do not install mono.
Make sure you set it up as a 32 bit prefix:
WINEARCH=win32 winecfgOptionally (preferrably), put it in its own prefix:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winecfgSelect Windows 8
Set up dependencies:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winetricks -q vcrun2010 dotnet472You may need to rerun winecfg at this point to ensure Windows 8 is selected:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winecfgGo to http://www.octgn.net and download the latest version. Run the install with wine from the terminal:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine msiexec /i OCTGN-Setup-Version.msiWhen that completes you should be able to start octgn:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine PathToOCTGN/OCTGN.exeexample default PathToOCTGN ~/.wine-octgn/drive_c/users/yourusername/Local Settings/Application Data/Programs/OCTGN
If it starts go to options and disable hardware acceleration for a much smoother operation of the program.

- Wine's implementation of WPF doesn't play well with multiple monitors. Use virtual desktop instead.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine explorer /desktop=octgn,1440x900 ~/OCTGN/OCTGN/OCTGN.exeOr make it permanent by setting it in winecfg.
- Unusable/blank interfaces on first-run can also be mitigated by using virtual desktop so you can disable acceleration once you're in.
Worst case scenario: Edit an existing, or create a bare config file with acceleration disabled.
~/OCTGN/Config/settings.json
{
"UseHardwareRendering": false
}- After the loading screen, if you have an unusable and black window, you can change the SSL configuration to fix it by setting the "IgnoreSSLCertificates" to "true".
~/OCTGN/Config/settings.json
{
"IgnoreSSLCertificates": true
}- Having mono installed in the same prefix will break things. If you did install it, uninstall with
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine uninstaller --remove '{E45D8920-A758-4088-B6C6-31DBB276992E}'before installing dotnet472. If you've already installed dotnet472, you can add --force to reinstall it:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winetricks --force dotnet472Or just wipe the prefix and start over:
rm -rf ~/.wine-octgn#Related Issues
At the moment only games hosted from the server work. (Needs testing; unsure if still true)
You might have to install a file called gacutil.exe and its config file to the winetricks cache to get .net to work property. I will include this link at a later point.(But google is your friend here).
Deprecated. Wine 1.5.5+ and Winetricks svn826+ fixes this.
#Play on Linux / Play on Mac script At the moment it works only in linux due to dotnet40 and vcrun2010 issues on mac.
