[Linux] Unknown Auth Protocol

I've been fighting most of the day to get City installed on my new Ubuntu install. WoW works perfectly but City is throwing up the error "Unknown Auth Protocol" when logging in.

Spent most of the day getting the patcher to work so it'd suck to hit a brick wall at this stage! It's using vanilla WINE 1.3.5 (Cedega won't even install the game).

Tried the usual sources like WineHQ so you guys are my last hope.

I just walked through the installer located for download through http://us.ncsoft.com/en/

City of Heroes is installing fine on the latest public Cedega engine: 2010071

There is a catch to using the installer from the NCSoft site. You need to do the install in Windowed Mode.

However, there is a semi-catch to that. The last time I ran the installer all the way through it hung up and I wound up copying the install files from an existing Windows install. Right now the installer is working it's way through the older 7.3.3 stable engine release and hasn't hung up (yet).

And there it goes... looping on downloading file manifest.

And the 2010071 engine just looped out as well.

Hmm. I didn't have that when I was trying CoH under Ubuntu. What level is this error at? Is it happening during the cohupdater program, or later, or what?

good question. I'm ashamed I didn't ask it.

Indeed. Is this happening after the program has been installed? Is this happening when you actually open the game and are at the login screen?
