All it takes is to get an exe that works on Wine on Ubuntu 20.04 and almost all distros will be able to run it in one way or another.
None of developers in BB or in Ubisoft using Linux at least at home?
Story short. We all were dreading 31st december and here BB kicked us out from their server already on 18th december.
At least TSO survives and with new client there will be new content to welcome new players.
Unfortunately the TSO just became Windows 10 exclusive game... :(
Please BB make Linux guide too.
I completely forgot about that. In reality they have done exact opposite. No "kindly ask" but force it on everybody instead, and zero support through the process. I wish they actually did what they said they would do as that would make it a lot easier for many players.Quote:

Still wouldnt work.
But created a new account, logged in, logged out.
Could then log in with my original account
But lost out on gems from daily login, shocked at lack at response from BB. Community here are great though trying to help others out.
Hopefully my post here helps you get back online

Thx to the community for some fixes, xmas is seen as one of the better events & it would of been a shame to miss it.
i have a same problem..have u got any help?
What platform are you on Sanca? Mac, Winblows or Linux?
it is very sad that bb are notable by their absence! it looks like so many of us will not be playing for several months at this rate - shame that all my special mines will have collapsed by then. i wonder how many will never return after this shambles because by then we will have found something else to keep us occupied. come on bb talk to us at least
is anyone else able to register new account or they disabled it?

In my haste to get everything done, client downloaded, I then manged to uninstall it. (don't ask, don't know). Now unfortunately I can't get on at all.
I can't get on at all
Excelsior doesnt work properly ,
after pressing big-purple botton nothing heppens, just lost cristals
theres no animation in excelsior atm, but items still got put in star, and map count increased,
i really thought that i would come into the forum this morning and that bb would have shown us the respect to have given some sort of feedback even if it was only that they are looking into the problems but nothing is seen. come on bb you will soon be out of work at this rate as you will have so few customers left playing this game
Check out the German forum, the BB there has done a load of answers to users questions, none on here, US, or French servers.Quote:

Google auto-translate will do the job for you. I read German this way also.Quote:

Uninstalled and reinstalled it several times to no avail, any suggestions guys?
Oh, and it's really not helpful to have the screenshots on your how-to guide on the new downloadable client thread in German...
when i questioned this i was told just to blindly follow the instructions - this to me is just another incident of BB being disrespectful to their customers
If you have win7 you have not installed all recommended or optional windows updates, probably vc++ redist updatesQuote:

I feel your pain Sue, but I am afraid this has been the case through out this game. On the odd occasion when the customers that they do respect, dare I imply their countrymen and women, start getting more vocal, and force their hand into doing the job with a bit more reverence to their customer base, then it improves temporarily for all the customer base, but only temporary.Quote:

When I saw the announcement by our community manager with the instructions of the client download not even bothering to translate the instructions from German on an EN server forum, I knew exactly where I stood as a valued player and customer.
I guess forum rules only apply to some:
Once again though the TSO community has stepped into the breach , many thanks to Hades8840, Norton_c, Mannerheim and so many others who have stepped into help. You are all treasures and put BB to shame. I sincerely hope you are all still around when /if they do the move to unity as we will surely need you then as well. Merry Christmas TSO Community and Bah Humbug to BB.Quote:
Please make sure you speak English on the forum and in the default in-game chat channels. Use of other languages can result in a temporary ban as we need to know that what is said respects the rules of the game.
well have got it up and running following these links running on a win 7 64 bit with edge had to copy in the whole client folder as was missing it also copied in the client file from hades so thank you for posting this and to every one who helps on here.Quote:

Hi!
I managed to fixed the issues I had with legacy login and get the new client to run on Linux (Pop!_OS 20.04). This potentially would also work for Mac users.
Based on:
https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/...t-login-issues
How to potentially fix legacy login issues:
1. Login using UPlay (create a new account if necessary), but don't finish registration
2. Cancel the registration (click complete registration at the top and then click cancel registration)
3. Login using legacy (it magically works now for some reason?)
4. (Optional (not really)): Link UPlay account to legacy account to avoid issues in the future.

Based on:
https://forum.diesiedleronline.de/th...Laufen-bringen

How to get the client working on Linux:
Requirements:
- PlayOnLinux (4.3.4 in my case) (https://www.playonlinux.com/en/)
- Wine 5.0.3 64-bit (probably? I tried with 5.20 and 5.19, they didn't seem to work) (http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.ph...or%20POL%2FPOM.)
- Maybe winbind? I installed this at some point because of an error I was seeing, not sure if it did anything (sudo apt install winbind, or something similar)
1. Install the client into a new namespace in PlayOnLinux. (for me this created a shortcut named 'The Settlers Online' in PlayOnLinux)
2. In any browser with a network log (e.g. Chrome), login to the TSO website and click the 'Play Now' button.
3. Find the link starting with 'tso://' in the network log of the browser and copy it. (https://developers.google.com/web/to...vtools/network)
4. From a command line, run:
Example:Code:playonlinux --run The\ Settlers\ Online "the_link_you_just_copied"
5. At this point the game should launch and start loading. You will probably get some errors like:Code:playonlinux --run The\ Settlers\ Online "tso://lang=en-uk&e=true&ubb=true&bb=http%3A%2F%2Fw02bb01.thesettlersonline.com%2F&s=https%3A%2F%2Fubistatic-a.akamaihd.net%2F0018%2Flive%7Chttps%3A%2F%2Fubistatic-a.akamaihd.net%2F0018%2Flive&chatS=http%3A%2F%2Fw02chat01.thesettlersonline.com%3A80&chatB=http%3A%2F%2Fw02chat01.thesettlersonline.com%3A80&country=NL&realmBeta=false&realmLang=uk&dsoAuthUser=1234567&dsoAuthToken=fakeauthtoken&baseUri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesettlersonline.com%2Fen&realm=2
This happened a few times for me but each time the game seemed to get further in loading/broke at a different point, and after a few times it loaded up successfully.Code:wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF at address 000000007BC6ED88 (thread 0080), starting debugger...

Make it easier to launch the game:
The original post mentions using xdg-open to allow launching the game from your regular browser just using the 'Play Now' button. It didn't work for me but it basically says:
1. Create a .desktop shortcut:
2. Edit TSO_Client.desktop to look like the following:Code:cp /usr/share/applications/PlayOnLinux.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/TSO_Client.desktop
3. Associate the tso:// protocol with the desktop applicationCode:[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=TSO
Comment=The Settlers Online
Type=Application
Exec=playonlinux --run The\ Settlers\ Online %U
Icon=playonlinux
Categories=Utility;Emulator;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/tsorc;text/html;
This should make it so the game opens automatically when you click the 'Play Now' button from the browser. Didn't work for me but it might for you?Code:xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler tso TSO_Client.desktop
Cheers!
Edit: Got the xdg-open to work, the protocol should be tso, not tsorc
Reboot computer to resolve all issues? How typical of windows os. One of the reason I use Linux from 2007. I do not have windows partition. I do not have any dual boot. Plus last time I fought the grub 2, it was a huge pain.Quote:

BB help? This is 3rd day I can not log into TSO. Linux guide please?
Got a guild mate who was able to login yesterday and earlier today. When he came back this afternoon to login he was told he has been blocked for trying to login too many times. He waited 20mins but still gets same message. Anyone else the same or got suggestions?
BB, please fix the installer or upgrade the install guide and provide info about running the app.
I am trying to help a friend, running W7, and i need to manually install different files that are not supplied with the installer.

It's 12 noon now in Germany, and there are no updates on the homepage, no official posts on the forums by anyone from BB. Not even a 'we are aware of the problems and are working to resolve them' non-update.
This is just shockingly bad.
the game was running yesterday and early this morning and now when i try to start it i only see the client in my proccess window (task manager) but it never start the client in a window so i can play.
This is getting really annoying, also had common issue with "unable to update client" after patch friday.
have all from BB gone on Holiday?
if not please join the battle and give pepole some information about your staus with the issues.
