HeRO client supports Crossover Games?

Copy it to the "program files" folder.

I did that. and I tried to open the hero.exe file to start the game but nothing happens.

Thank you! I'm having a shot with VirtualBox now... but I think a .tar archive with all needed files will help quite a few people (especially when a certain file is corrupted, e.g.)

**Edit: Actually Wine seems to work fine, but, alas, the fancy background picture for the installation places itself ABOVE the actual install wizard. I cannot reach the actual install wizard... is there a way to get rid of the image, which seems to be included in the exe (and thus cannot be removed by an easy command)?**

****Edit2: just fixed it by moving the image to the second desktop****


******Edit3: i managed to get RO itself to run, however I can't connect. I found info that wine has problems with DNS connection info, so I'd need to know the IP by wich the server is adressed to, as well as where I can modify the information so heRO.exe attempts to connect to the right IP...*******

Instead of a fourth edit, I decided it'd be better to double-post...

[Ayu's magical edit here]

**Edit: There seemed to be a problem with a false redirection. I got the IP my client tries to connect to via wireshark (extremely useful tool btw!) and created an iptables redirection...**

**Edit: removed post due to stupidity on my side**

I managed to get the correct IP... however now, every time i try to log on I get an instant "disconnected from server" (even before the password is checked)... Any idea for a fix?

**Edit 2: I got it running now... It's a long story, if you want I'll tell it over a beer or two... A hint for those who are desperate to get RO running on diff. operating systems: The port for the real server is 6901! (thanks to Panda for that info, I hope it's alright to post it here...)**

On a similar note I'm trying to run in Parallels. It seems to work fine, but the mouse cursor is very unstable. Is there a way to actually remove it and just work with the system cursor?
