Title: Ra2 On linux
Post by: roboman2444 on April 04, 2009, 04:20:44 PM: I am wondering if there is a way to run ra2 on linux. I have tried to use wine to do it but it dosnt allow you to click on anything. Is there another way to do it?

Windows=BAD!:vista:
Linux=GOOD!:-D

You need to run it on something less alcoholic than wine.

I think it's the fact you may have something else like MSN running up when a new chat window pops up while playing. I've lost many a good but when some stranger pops up on Ares. (Where I got RA2 btw.)

Does my suggestion work?

I don't think that WINE is going to work for RA2 for a long while.

I think it has to do with Python on wine

I tried it on Slax, TRCKML( a linux distro that i am making), and Ubuntu 8.10
:vista: windows sucks!

I have no idea about anything with programming, so this is just a suggestion.

Post by: Naryar on June 29, 2009, 07:02:49 AM: Well my Windows XP is a complete bitch, and so i'm looking forward to get Linux and to use Linux only. It's seemingly lighter, less laggy, more stable, less virus...

BUT it's worthless to get it if RA2 doesn't works on it.

Any other ideas than that wine ?

Post by: Serge on July 11, 2009, 03:48:10 PM: I'll try it on Arch Linux + Wine on a MSI Wind sometimes, and if it doesn't work, I'll look for some way of fixing it.

I'm happy there are other Linux users here :P
