How-To-Play On-line

If you want to play Rune online for the Linux version by Loki Games, run:

curl -s http://www.frag-net.com/dl/games/rune/master.sh | bash

It will make a back-up of your current config (if it exists) under ~/.loki/rune/System/Rune.ini. The config it downloads is configured to run in windowed mode using a Software Renderer because the OpenGL one has since regressed.
