Hi! Are the servers of the original game working now? I can't connect, it shows "No connection". News is loaded if you run "Settings.q3d".
P.S. Also I can't access the site with my old username-password.

Debian GNU/Linux - Wine - Lutris
The Endless Forest v.3.41 January 2012

I've done everything that's

I've done everything that's been described here:

1. Download the latest version of wine and install it.
2. Download The Endless Forest (Windows version).
3. Unzip it (with gzip in a terminal or other ).
4. Place the DLLs from this archive in wine's windows/system32 directory (usually "/home/******/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32").
5. Use the command "winecfg" in a terminal to configure wine for The Endless Forest
6. In this new window, add DLL overrides (native, builtin) for: dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast and dpwsockx (then, don't forget to apply!).
7. Use the command "wine regsvr32 dpnet.dll" in a terminal (this will add some needed registry entries).
8. Go into The Endless Forest folder (/home/*******/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Tale of Tales/The Endless Forest 3) and lauch "ForestViewer.exe" with wine.
9. Select "Q3DStart.q3d" (which is in the same folder).

The server seems to be having

The server seems to be having some trouble today. It looks like it might have been down at the time this was posted (another user said they were having issues at the time as well), although the game seems to be okay for me now. The community site gave me an error as I was trying to reply to this, so it may be about to go down again lol.
