How to use DashN on Windows without IE?

First download and install the [Compact Version|[ext] http://english.dashn.com/download/dashinter_s.exe] and then download and install the direct version [Direct Version|[ext] http://english.dashn.com/download/InterDirect.exe] of the client. Run the later. The direct version enables you to connect to DashN without first logging in from the DashN homepage (that seems to be only possible with the IE). However, you first must install the compact version since the direct version of the client requires a DashEngine.dll dynamic library. This library does not come with the download of the Direct Version.

  1. mdh Where does interup.exe come in? Is it a patch for the Direct version since it shares a similar name? (The patch option)

DashN and Kanji

uxs: Excellent... no more IE for me :-) Now... does anyone know how I could get the client to display the kanji-like characters, instead of the weird ascii-signs ? I don't understand Korean or Japanese or whatever, but it would at least look nicer.

minismurf: I get the impression that the chat and names in the "International" version in not transmitted correctly, possibly on purpose. I hope I am wrong on this, but previously, I had success in using a software called MagicWin? to display the chat, but when I tried it last week, it didn't work either. But, please try it and tell me how it works out.

DashN on Linux?

Helger: my experience when trying to use DashN on Linux/wine?: after following the above instructions for Dashn on Windows, I get an empty grey page with a several buttons on the right hand side. Some buttons (ranking, buddy, setting, master) work, some others (home, go to clubs home) do not. And then people start challenging me - I can't accept since then I get an OLE error. On the other hand, there seems to be no possibility to get a list of players, a list of games or anything like that so as to challenge somebody else or to observe games. Any help?

Helger
with the latest wine (20040121), I get just an endless loop with the message "fixme:thunk:CommonUnimpStub? generic stub: ?". May be there will be some improvements in a year? If anybody has more success with DashN with any (possibly old) version of wine, please let us know.
