This may have been asked before, if so I was not here to see it...

I have a friend who wants to play and she runs a Linux machine... any compatibility??

Will it run on Fedora or Mint? I am not versed in Linux, so if I am using those terms wrong.... sorry..

Thanks in advance.

    I do not think any support will be provided for the game to be installed and run natively in Linux - your best bet would be to either dual-boot or use something like WINE.

    Unless your friend can install a Windows emulator something to that affect I don't think there is.

    No promises but it is said to work if it is installed using PlayOnLinux. Here is a link for a basic how to for it. http://kweepeer.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/play-neverwinter-mmo-on-linux/ Some of this my differ depending on which distro your friend is using. My advice would be to start with the link and also try the forums for the distro she is using. :D

    Edit: Seems to be that low fps is a pretty common problem when running it on a Linux box.
