Liberator Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 As a Linux user I sometimes look through WineHQ for capabilities of running some Windows stuff in my favourite OS. Last week I've found that there is a Wine patch that enable run CM2. It seems that it passed unnoticed, so I'm writing it here. So far, I've tested demo versions of CMRT, CMFI and CMBS and on my 8-year-old laptop (Linux Mint 19, Wine 3.20) they all run without any issues. The question is: how it looks with full versions? I'd like to know that they work before purchasing. If there are another Linux users (who don't want to dual-boot anymore) I would appreciate for sharing the results of the tests.

Mavierck Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Quote Any update on this? Is it working with Wine? Can anyone point me in the right direction how to get it to work? Ideally, I could help put together a lutris install script for all CM games.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I would be surprised if the DRM of the full versions worked with Wine. But any further discussion of that is probably against the forum rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Where is the patch? The link seems broken. How did you how did you install this patch? I am on Linux mint 19 with an old ATI card (radeon 5850) with xorg driver. Demo doesn't work "couldn't initialize OpenGL". I have the complete Combat Mission Battle for Normandy with all packs since I was on Windows 10, but disk crashed. I can't install windows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I don't know how to set up a custom compiled Wine on linux either. Seems like hassle. The Wine bug tracking activity seems to have stalled for a year now, with no one knowledgeable jumping in, with the actual skill to make a proper 'code pull request': https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9378 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 You want me to try with the patch in comment #17? https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9378#c17 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) As I wrote at winehq: AFAIK that patch is not a proper fix, it may make things worse for other software ran through Wine. So the Wine developers should not commit it as such. Me, I have no pressing need for Wine fixing this issue, though it would be nice.

Bufo Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Yep, it does work (I have built a custom patched proton as was suggested above): Only works with titles on Steam though, but full versions work nonetheless.
