I won't do it, stop asking.

There is nothing you can't do with the code. And if you can't do it for some reason, it mean that I have to work on that, and there is not a single good argument for me to do it.

i cannot log in without a unique id. i mean sure i could access the services directly, but that is done by the falobby
anyway. no need to invent the wheel twice.

Still too much work.

The livereplay and update server are not dependent of the uniqueId, you have access to the client code, feel free to do a remote updater if you want.

or you can require the unique id only for playing games and not watching replays and wait for patches coming in.

probably, because linux is so a blooming platform for games ...

Even if it was 10 players (and I'm pretty sure it's less than that), it wouldn't worth my time.
We are talking of :

Making me install linux on my PC. I have to reformat my HD, try to configure it (gaps), ...
A day of work if I'm lucking.

Installing all my dev tools. Trying to do a port of the unique id dll. Try to make it work with the client. Probably more than a week.

Trying every other feature of the client, and try if it works. It probabbly won't, spend another week fixing them.

Doing that is taking time I won't spend on anything else, like the avatars, ...

Then, on every feature I will add, I will have to check that it works also on linux. That's a loss of time everytime I do something. Really not worth it for me.

Won't the amount of players using linux be zero as a consequence of it not being supported?

Would take too much time for the amount of players using linux.

is it not possible to login without supplying a unique id. make it impossible to play a game then.
i just want to see it working on linux, if only for watching replays or to do some coding on the client.

it does work, at least up to the point where the unique id is verified and i was just in the middle of doing the port.

@sheppard

FA runs fine with wine, but i can't login at the lobby.
So if the lobby stuff starts to work everybody is happy
for me it's irrelevant if with wine or not

the lobby should be able to run with minor changes. the furthest i got was that i could create a new user,
but i was unable to generate a uniqueid. nor should i have to, i just want to port the application.

of course not, but maybe some of the Linux friends ran into the same problem and solved it.
With Planetary Annihilation und Steam coming for Linux and Forged Alliance running fine with wine,i changed to the imho "better system".
And despite no linux support for FAF, i wanted to try the whole thing.
What a pity that there are no Plans for a Native Linux Client.

even if FAF would work without wine on linux OS's... what about FA itself?
