How do I install "Need for Speed World"?

Question

How do I install Need for Speed World?

Please don't just say "use wine", I am a newbie and I need a detailed way to install it (Step by Step).

I use Ubuntu 11.10.

Solution

I don't think Need for Speed World can be run on Ubuntu, at least not without difficulties. It's designed specifically as a Windows application.

In some cases, you can still use Wine, but it's no guarantee. It is far beyond the scope of this site. However, wine itself has a community that is suitable for those types of things.

For Need for Speed World, you can look here.

Download Game>Install Wine (Open a terminal, Click the Ubuntu Logo then type Terminal then type sudo apt-get install wine1.3)>Open up Wine>Try to install game>iF it fails then you're out of luck and won't be enjoying the game/if it succeds you still won't be able to play the game due to the fact that Anti-cheat software (because it's an online game...) probably wouldn't work in Linux.

This report says it works nicely in 11.10.

Well.. It says it sometimes works if you jump through a few hoops.
