My journey into daily driving Linux is going rather well. Decided I’m gonna give myself a bit of a small challenge (or not, this might be easy).
I want to get a couple old games to work. I’ve had to do some tinkering or installed unofficial patches on these games probably since the Vista days. So I know they require some work to run on modern systems. But can’t find info on how to do it on Linux. I don’t want to do a «throw shit at the wall and see what sticks» and end up breaking something in my OS. I’m on Nobara KDE.
Installed in the EA App through Lutris:
- C&C Red Alert 2 and Tiberian sun (Black menus, game runs otherwise)
- Medal of Honor Allied Assault (Crash on startup)
Anyone wanna teach a Linux noob some tips and tricks to make this work? Or a way to install these .exe patch files and go the «windows» route? (Can this be done safely through Wine?)
For C&C install openRA you won’t regret it
I used to prefer cncnet back in the day. I noticed they have Linux builds for a lot of Westwood games so if I fail to make the EA App version work I’ll just get that or openRA.
OpenRA is GOAT
