Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Really wondering how many linux/ubuntu users there are out there. But, also trying to judge if an updated install guide for linux and wurm on linux would have a community. For those wanting to dig there are a couple good docs on the web as well as posts on forums. Just would like to make it as easy as possible for users to connect from a non-windows or mac OS. Edited March 28, 2013 by outlander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 28, 2013 I know two friends irl who use a mac to play wurm...one uses a macbook pro and the other uses an ipad (limited to crafting I am told).At the moment, in Mountain Lion, with updated java 7 that apple has given us to secure java security loopholes, it is impossible.It breaks LWJGLI read somewhere that a fix is in dev for LWJGL on Mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2013 It is possible on mountain lion by calling javaws from the java 6 install. Details in the tech forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2013 Mmm I believe Gaeron runs Wurm off of a Linux box. Personally I just use Windows for gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Details in the tech forums.I touched base with one of the mac users and he is just doing a Putty connection to his windows box....remote is from the mac but the app is run from the windows box.I believe this is the fix you are talking about : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 Edited March 28, 2013 by outlander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2013 Mmm I believe Gaeron runs Wurm off of a Linux box. Personally I just use Windows for gaming.I am a mixed user. I use windows while at home as it is my main gaming machine for the road I use ubuntu 11.x on my netbook (only good for standing while crafting) and ubuntu 12.04LTS on my laptop (seem to get better FPS in linux than windows). I would be interested in hearing how it works for Gaeron... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2013 Hi Outlander!I have logged into wurm from Linux Mint, Gentoo, and once or twice Ubuntu. Also Win7 and WinXP. I've played it via VirtualBox, VMWare, and Remote Desktop (LogMeIn Ignition works best out of 8 tested apps to play Wurm on my iPhone while out and about). As far as I've been able to determine, Wurm running via the Java VM does offer remarkable portability and cross-platform fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 28, 2013 Well I think I am going to start collecting the needed updated info, links and supporting commands to make a How-to Linux your Wurm guide. With the end of XP hope it nudges some of the players with older boxes to give their old hardware new life.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2013 The end of XP? Are they removing the ability of Windows XP computer to play Wurm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
