Im a new user to ubuntu, would like to install pointblank on my garage laptop (running ubuntu 10.10) Any help?

I have wine installed, and when I try to launch it, it tells me I need mono installed. I think I did that but still doesnt launch.

In the near future I will be installing ubuntu on a machine just to run tests and whatnot. Hopefully I can address many of these issues then.

ArXane,

I played with it quite a bit while 2.0 was still beta. It really only wanted to run using the Windows .NET client installed under wine. Although only .NET 2.0 (no service packs) worked all that well. I never could get 2.0 to behave well enough to suit my needs so I've stuck wtih 1.8.

Hopefully, once Dallan is testing in that environment he can find/fix any quirks that might exist.

I did finally get mine running but when I launched pointblank it kept dumping the updated files into my home folder.... ill wait, put xp back on my laptop.
