Trouble installing/running Wakfu

Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Trouble installing and running Wakfu

thank good I found this one. Wouldn't be able to run it on my fresh Ubuntu 12.04 installation without this. Who would think of installing "libjpeg62:i386" on a 64bit system. But runs fine now :)

  1. Why do you use 64 bit? Should I use it? I find that many gaming sites like dotdeb.com are compatible only with 32 bit linux.

    1. usually 64bit isn't a problem. From my point of view Wakfu (as well as other such applications) not using 64bit is just developer laziness. Especially for something like Wakfu which is written in Java. It's just a matter of providing the right linkage/libraries and that is pretty simple.

      I personally use 64 bit as I paid for 64bit hardware. I have no problem with not using an application if the developers are too lazy to support 64 bit. The "big" and important applications do anyways ..

      So, Wakfu had luck that I found this forum post or else I would have stopped playing it till they fixed that.

      Sidenote: the Ubuntu developers discuss making the 64bit version the recommended for future releases.

  2. Thank you. If Ubuntu 64 bit is recommended then I will have to try it.
