did anyone try to run Starcraft 2 on linux?

funny you should mention? I've been doing just that.

works amazing via lutris, just change the wine version to proton 3.17-beta (and enable emulated desktop).

Hi guys!

this is what I'm basing my next video on !

https://github.com/tatsujb/installFAFscript

i'll probably use it in pair with an "uninstall" script I have yet to create. but you can test it with a machine under virtualbox (for example) to confirm that it works.

it should also work on your host machine if you've followed diligently the instructions of my previous videos.

I'd like some feedback and suggestions.

still WIP btw, haven't updated most of the paths

if you have feedback be sure to include the version number at the top of the script. (there was none at one point ideally use a version with a version number)

[tatsu]

sorry I took so goddamn long : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5K7QmK-Xas

script is working now folks.


go and get it at : https://github.com/tatsujb/installFAFscript

thanks looks nice!
it must have taken so much experimenting. ><

i haven't tested it yet. i barely played the game nowadays even.
but i took a look at this. o/

are you sure about sudo apt -y full-upgrade ?
it seems it upgrades the system too. for example from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04 (if this comes out in the future)
also what does the -y switch do? i couldn't find it anywhere. xD

Code: Select all

man apt:
   full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
           full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove
           currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the
           system as a whole.

Thanks again!

no problem! thank you! and yes, tons... (￣ ￣|||)

no I'm not sure ;P I'm experimenting but feel free to remove whatever lines from the script you're not comfortable with before running it.

it's just a habbit of mine. I just like to have a clean working base and it's tough to install steam or whatever if the dependencies it's going to be using will change halfway.

( y is for yes, it prevents user prompt in case it wants to ask if you're okay with a lot of shit being installed, in the spirit of automation I opted for the least possible interruptions)

OK

So, I've been tinkering with this for hours. I am running Fedora 29 x64, I had to install Oracles JVM to get Downlords launcher to work, and now it does. I have already launched and tested the Forged Alliance via Steam/Proton, works great as long as Esync is off.

Now here's where the hard part comes in. For the life of me I cannot get the game to launch.

I first set the directory to my Forged Alliance install folder.

Then I changed the "Command line format for executable" to: wine "%s"
When I then create a private game I am greeted with:

I've tried launching it with Proton (I symlinked it for easy access): /home/deathtbo/.faforever/bin/proton/bin/wine "%s"
The create game button with turn grey, and then back to white after a couple seconds.

I've tried to create a bash file and pass "%s" as an argument where I could export environment variables and set the WinePrefix, but that too simply did nothing.

I lastly, bashed the file directly in my terminal.

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=("/home/deathtbo/HDD1/Steam Library/steamapps/compatdata/9420/pfx/")
export PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1

/home/deathtbo/HDD2/Steam\ Library/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.16\ Beta/dist/bin/wine "$1"

Here I was able to see the output. This is what I get when trying to use Proton https://pastebin.com/SK2E7fu7

Keep in mind, launching from Steam works perfectly everytime.

Anyone have any ideas?

hi o/
are you the guy from Discord?

i don't know exactly what is you have to set up to make it work on Fedora, try to follow Tatsu's bash file:
https://github.com/tatsujb/installFAFsc ... ter/faf.sh


you will need to (might not be 100% accurate):
1. download the uid file and chmod it.
https://github.com/FAForever/uid/releases
chmod +x lib/faf-uid

2. set up the correct symlinks (Mods, Maps) from the games directory to FAF client directory.
cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Supreme\ Commander\ Forged\ Alliance;
ln -s ~/My\ Games/Gas\ Powered\ Games/Supreme\ Commander\ Forged\ Alliance/Maps/ Maps;
ln -s ~/My\ Games/Gas\ Powered\ Games/Supreme\ Commander\ Forged\ Alliance/Mods/ Mods;

3. give the proper environment variables before launching the client for Proton. i'm not sure WINEPREFIX alone is enough.
4. in the java FAF client add proper directory names and launch command for how the client should call the game executable.

viewtopic.php?p=171531#p171531
you will need to set the "execution directory" too in the client:
viewtopic.php?p=172051#p172051
(edit: in Tatsu's video it is different, which one is the correct way??)


alternatively, install the old legacy client and use normal wine, install the game using windows Steam:

Tastu, what kind of additional steps does he have to do in order to launch the game from the java client?
It would be great to see the steps written down one by one (in one post) to help others to see the big picture. I will need this info too btw.
