Okay!
I am using Wine 32bit version and Playonlinux says I have Wine 3.19 installed. Is there a particular version I should have for PSOBB? (I don't have a 64bit version installed)
POL version is 4.2.12
The .net is all of the versions, I guess, because when I installed it via Playonlinux it acted like it installed all of them. I installed 4.5 (then tried the others like 4, 3/etc) but none of them work.
Oh, also I am running POL windows emulation under Windows XP (I've also used Windows 7).
I'm not even sure if the .net framework installation was successful or not. But earlier today when I was messing with it, I at the very least got Wine Debugger window to open when I try to run launcher, rather than merely nothing happening and a crash warning from POL. I suppose, as long as the graphics are withstand-able, I can just play in fullscreen, but ideally I would like to adjust my settings.
I agree, a text config file would eliminate this problem (which I searched the directory for, over and over -- wishing that it would magically appear even though I know it won't -- lol).
Keep me posted. I plan on doing my usual thing, farming lots and raising mags, probably run a PD shop if that is a thing on Ultima.
