''At this page you should get an answer about '''how to get Earth2150 running on Linux''' Mint 20.2 from disc (using WINE).''
 
'''Earth 2150 - Linux Mint (20.2) Install'''
First you need to set up a ''wine'' - compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications like Earth2150. Just follow this guide to install the /correct/ version of wine. There are many guides out there but this one is really working.
 
[1. Setup wine: https://linuxhint.com/installing_wine_linux_mint/ Link to guide]
 
2. install Earth 2150 via ISO or Steam
If none of this works, it may be that your graphics card is simply too old (tested and worked on GTX 750 TI, but did not do so on a GTS 450).
 
'''Installs for Multiplayer'''
After installing WINE, path to the location of the 'install.exe' and run it with the 'WINE Compatibility Program Loader'. From here, everything should proceed as with a standard Windows install...
 
<u>Multiplayer</u>
Running/Updating/setup are also all run via the Program Loader.
 
For Multiplayer you need to install a '''Direct Play'''. In order to do this run command below:
 
1. Install Direct Play service:
winetricks directplay
 
<u>GameRanger</u>
 
2. Install mfc42 - it is required for GameRanger
winetricks mfc42
3. Download Gameranger from: https://www.gameranger.com/download/ and install with Wine.
 
 
'''Troubleshooting:'''
 
If you have no in game music, then run this command:
winetricks quartz
 
If the above doesn't correct the music issue, you may also need to run the following commands;
WINEPREFIX=<path-to-wine> wine regsvr32 'c:\windows\system32\amstream.dll'
WINEPREFIX=<path-to-wine> wine regsvr32 'c:\windows\system32\quartz.dll'
