The only question here is why the patch in the winehq bug is not integrated into the official wine yet. Then it would arrive in bottle over time.

I've had many fond memories of "rebuilding" applications and even the full operating system.🤕🙄
I've taken to writing installation notes to minimize that headache. I'm currently using Linux Mint. So far, no response on OpenGL in the Bottles forum. Thanks for responding.

Ah yes, now that you both mention it I do recall that there was some futzing to be done for OpenGL support. All I can offer is hope - if I managed to get it running then it must be possible and not too difficult since I am an utter non-command line type of guy, I need my apps ready made and working generally. If I find any notes or remnants of installed stuff I will be sure to let you know.

The 'green' patches are the 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03 patches that MUST be consecutively applied. The patches are NOT cumulative, so you could not simply apply the 1.03 patch and be fully up-to-date. These patches are for the Battlefront version of the game, which will require the CMAK CD to be present in your optical drive in order for them to work. You will need CMAK to be fully installed before applying them and make sure you know the path to the CMAK installation, especially if it is not the default one (the patches may require you to specify this path).
These patches do NOT do anything in regards to Windows compatibility. These patches mostly addressed minor data issues with the game (incorrect characteristics for vehicles, etc.). They all came out before Windows Vista (2003 time frame, I believe). There is/was a 1.04 patch that addressed a particular graphics bug seen under Windows Vista (and possibly later) that newer driver releases from Nvidia and AMD addressed (thus negating the need for the patch). The 1.04 patch utilized the eLicense copy-protection system and was NOT free. It is also no longer offered, so 1.03 is the latest patch for CMAK.
