'''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/ |
|||
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 |
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' |
