Native DOW II Linux port (released ~September 2016) + elite

Postby psisavant » Mon 31 Oct, 2016 7:56 pm

While I got my wine(let us call it a 'windows emulator' for the uninitiated) DOW2+elite setup running reasonably well ... in singleplayer the same cannot be said about the online portion of the game. Since the last year's dow2 patch (around January 2015 I believe) I've been getting a sync error after a minute or so of online play -.- .

So here comes the **native** linux port part. Has anyone tried to install elite on it ?
In my case I simply copied the relevant files to their respectful locations from my 'windows installation' into the virtual file system (including the locale file), set file names all to lowercase, modified module files content to be all lowercase.

Eventually, after doing all of the above I got the elite splash/loading screen to show however at around 75% loading marker it always crashes with no relevant errors outputted in terminal to boot.

... any ideas how to proceed from this point onwards ?
