Title: RA2 on Ubuntu?
Post by: martymidget on January 18, 2011, 02:19:16 PM: Okay, I have a friend who wants to play RA2 on Ubuntu. She's downloaded stock 1.4, extracted it and ran it in wine (?I have no idea when it comes to OS other than windows and Mac :P) . Unfortunately, it won't work, and gets this error message.

If RA2 wont work on Ubuntu for various reasons, then..meh :<

I see what you did there.

Anyways, when I had Ubuntu for a little while I tried with wine, the game launched and was frozen at the starting menu.
