Linux RAWKS

Postby Little Miss Murder » 10 Apr 2019, 16:29

Seriously, just do it. FA/F works brilliantly on it, there is no more reason to cling to that shitty shit shit 64-bit hack of a 32-bit kluge to a 16-bit clone of an 8-bit OS written for a 4-bit CPU by a two-bit company that cannot stand one bit of competition.

(I wish I could claim credit for the above but alas)

Just do it! You have no more need for Harvard Graphics anymore, you know it as well as I.

Other games? What other games?

All other games already ran for me on linux. all 150 of them. 84 of them were already native. (this is not counting all the non-steam games I own.)

FA was just the final frontier for me.

Unfortunately from what I understand java client (partially) working on linux is just an accident and it's not officially supported yet, kinda sucks when a map download bug prevents me from joining half the games :(

neither client are officially supported on linux (though there are active strides by linux-using downloard-faf contributers on the java client) but if you can't download maps it isn't due to either client at all, it's because you have to redo maps and mods simlinking :

Code: Select all
cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Supreme\ Commander\ Forged\ Alliance
rm -rf Maps
rm -rf Mods
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
cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/9420/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser
rm -rf My\ Documents
mkdir My\ Documents
cd My\ Documents
ln -s ~/My\ Games/ My\ Games
cd

if FA is on sda you can run the above in a single big copy-paste.
