You are launching it from (within Wine) C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\. Instead, copy the cohupdater.exe to your desktop or some other directory and launch from there.

I really liked the game play and the graphics, but I grew a little tired of the scenery (or lack of). I tired the demo of City of Heroes.

The cursors look like crap, but suddenly are more recognizable as cursors. Additional: Well if you add the -compatibleCursors flag to the end of the launcher command it’s better.

I fear the worst. As to CoH I'm stunned it works as well as it does on Linux. I don't know why it stuns me, but it does. Whats more its awesome that I can be playing CoH on one desktop while ssh'd into my screen instance at work on the other.. teehee.. Oh linux.. you're so good to me.. The only issue I find with CoH in linux is the mouse cursor is corrupted a little. That and I haven t gotten my G15 keyboard working completely.. the wheel shows a volume bar going upa nd down but it doesn't actually affect the system volume.. need to sort that out.

Its actually pretty fun. However, I do spend all of my time on a ship. The on land game play isn't nearly as fun. I just started playing PiratesOnline a few days ago. Its actually pretty fun.
