Notice: test done in a Xen virtual machine with VGA passthrough feature for ATI card. Warframe is a wonderfull free-to-play. It works perfectly on Ubuntu 12.04 for my graphic card HD 7970. I am using the proprietary driver 13.04 from AMD.

Option 1 - Using Steam

It works fine on Linux. If you have Steam installed then you can go use your Steam Client to download it and install it

Option 2 - Install the game manually

1. Either install/build wine or update your wine version.
2. Just a few things to install for wintricks

    winetricks d3dx9 xact xact_jun2010

3. Go to https://warframe.com/ and sign up to get an account
4. Once you get you credentials then download from http://content.playwarframe.com/dl/Warframe.msi
5. Install the game

   wine msiexec /i Warframe.msi

6. Let the launcher download the game and install it.
7. Next time you play just run
