[Solved] What are the recommended procedures to install Tera Onine?

I'm debating between re-partitioning my device and making 75GB available for Tera Online and Windows 8. I currently have Arch Linux and a 17GB of the latest Ubuntu incase things go wrong and I don't have the time to fix them. I also am debating to downgrade my Ubuntu to 12.04 LTS. However I found online that some people have been able to get Tera Online to work on Arch Linux and I just want to reach out to those that got it working:

What is the best method to install Tera Online?

The instructions I'm going with that I found on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xYsXWnRnwA says I have to:

1. Get wine source code from git:
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git

2. Edit the file dlls/user32/winstation.c :
Search the OpenInputDesktop function, and edit it:

HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access )
{
return CreateDesktopA("Desktop", 0, 0, flags, access, 0);
}

3. Compile wine (Have proper toolchain and dependencies)
./configure
make

4. Install xmllite using winetricks
winetricks xmllite

~~Performance tweaks~~
-Closing the launcher after the game is launch will greatly increase framerate (as the launcher is hogging up cpu cycles a lot; maybe a bug)

-Check your cpu governor, sometimes, I got lower framerate with the 'ondemand' cpu governor over 'performance' one

~~Extra Links~~
a. Tera Online's entry on wineappdb

b. Getting and compiling wine from source

There's also using PlayOnLinux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … &iId=26128

So which procedures did you do?

Is there an easier way to do this?

Whatever you do, instead of getting the sources, try rebuilding the package with ABS first.
