These can all be installed via "Applications Manager": PWO also requires the following dependencies to be installed to run successfully.Note however that it may be advised to download the installer from a separate computer and transfer it over via a USB or CD, as glitches in ReactOS currently mean that attempting to download the installer from our site directly may cause the system to experience severe slowdown. PWO is capable of being fully installed from the standard installer. Latest observations (as of 19 August 2022) This is likely due to an incomplete reimplementation of the required Windows code (the same behaviour can be observed trying to play on Linux with Wine), and is something currently out of our control to fix. Unfortunately, the game is still not actually "playable", as ReactOS has a faulty WinHTTP implementation that means the game fails to connect to our server and will instead try to connect to the local computer - resulting in the player logging in to a black screen, most GUI elements being blank, and no way to interact with anyone. It is, however, perfectly possible to get PWO to open, load and even attempt to login. While PWO installs to ReactOS successfully and will attempt to run, ReactOS does not automatically install several needed dependencies, so some advance preparation is needed to enable it to function successfully. This article details the current results. Our resident Admin Jinji regularly beta-tests ReactOS via a VM and has taken it upon himself to test new builds and determine the feasibility of PWO running on the system in the future. While PWO does not officially offer support for ReactOS, given that its eventual goal is to run Windows software as close to native Windows as is technically achievable, there may well come a point in time whereby PWO becomes by default compatible with the OS and, through the use of Virtual Machines such as VirtualBox, other systems by extension. ReactOS is an alternative, open source Operating System which aims to be binary-compatible with Windows software and drivers, and to feel as close to Windows as possible, but developed from scratch with the view of providing a free, open-source and secure alternative.
