You could also try using the Java client. It should be/will be linux compatible. (I'm currently still working on that, so don't expect everything to work. You just need wine and a working FA installation.

Sadly I can't find a download link to a compiled jar/deb file currently (without the windows installer).

There was an update to the client in the meantime, I forgot to update the wiki. Current newest stable version is 0.16.1.

The 'vault.css' seems to be a missing file in the source as well. I think it's just a leftover bug, it shouldn't cause issues.

I don't know about the "black square" issue - which tabs does it appear on? If it's the "news" tab, then it might be an issue with Ubuntu's QtWebEngine.

The client has settings for specifying wineprefix and wine binary to run - I didn't get around to adding a GUI to set these. You'll have to find the client config file in '~/.config/ForgedAllianceForever/FA Lobby.ini' and add a section:

Code: Select all

[wine]
cmd_prefix=<prefix to entire command, e.g. "primusrun">
exe=<used wine>
prefix=<wineprefix>

i discovered that i fixed "black square" by installing bumblbee-nvidia package
