Forged Alliance Forever

FAF is not supported on linux.

Trying to hack it is NOT the way to go, you will have some serious issues (and potentially your account banned because of some stuff not happening properly).

Use windows if you want to play a windows game.

I'm closing the subject, the only answer you will have from is : Don't do it, it's not supposed to work on linux, and probably never will.

It's already hard and time consumming enough to make it run properly on any windows platform, don't ask me to support all linux distributions on top of it, it's impossible.

If in some years (5 ? 10 ? 15 ? Never ?) windows is unable to run win32 apps properly, maybe linux will be the only platform supported by FAF. Until then, windows is the only one.

Thank you both for your input.

The number of linux users cannot be extrapolated from a sample two.

"wine ForgedAlliance.exe /foo /bar /baz"

Yes, Python can be written platform-independent. However, the post above states that this is not the case here.

I will try to forward the call from the Lobby in a Virtual Machine to Supcom running on Linux and post my results here in case of sufficient free time and success.

Before I start disassembling the py2exe lobby code, could you please give me input on how the calls to the Supcom executable are made? Does the lobby call it with the server in question as a parameter or is there some network-communication between Supcom and the Lobby involved?

FAF uses a lot of windows API thingies, so no, there will be no linux version.

Did the Virtual Machine approach work? I'm wondering if it's possible to run FAF on a VM while running FA on Linux.

Thanks in advance.

i doubt a VM is efficient enough to run fa smoothly

I heard a story where a guy managed to run FA under wine. His only problem was gpg and it had something to do with .net stuff iirc

"At this time"

I don't think we will ever support it. FA runs on windows.

Linux is not supported at this time. Use Windows 7.
