Hero lab freezes after install on WINE

[Ogre92]

I turned off the update feature and all the network errors go away. However I'm still getting this error and the program closes after opening multiple selection screens (for example I create a new character add a level of barbarian, then add a craft skill and the program crashes):

X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
Serial number of failed request: 177547
Current serial number in output stream: 182295

I have HL 3.8a working great using wine 1.2 under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).

The application licensing and interface works well out-of-the-box with a standard wine installation.

I also solved issues with PDF export as well as the exportation of custom Pathfinder character sheets (which has the additional dependency of the msxml6 library not previously listed beforehand). Details of the solution are in the thread here.

For those using wine 1.3 I suggest getting a backport of wine 1.2 (if you are using Ubuntu this is easy).

cheers!
