LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE

[anon118]

Hi, I know that linux is not supported, but hopefully at least in this topic I can talk about it.

(debian, wine 1.62, nvidia drivers updated, .net4 instaled, vcredist installed, game itself does work, FAF does not even updating)

When i'm installing official FAF, it says, that linux is not supported oficially, and that there may be a problem with steam, but nobody cares, and there is such problem =)
"This computer has been used by Steam account"
If I understand correctly it is some kind of protection that does link computer to an Steam account.
Is there any workaround, how to delete this link? regedit, files, somthing else? server-side check?

When trying to launch fafafaf launcher, it does say that some of dlls (vcredist/dotnet4) are not installed, but they are.
Tried to restart PC, and tried to delete all wineprefix and re-installing them, did not help.

There is no workaround.

Either use windows or link your account to steam.

[necxelos]

@zep: you do not need to officially support it! i do not expect this from you. you do not need to help us.
i just asked others for their experience and for tips they might have. i shared my experience, so others can profit from it. this is, how a community forum works.

That.



As for the subject I strongly suggest using normal Linux Steam Installation instead of Winetricks one. It works marvellous - I tested it few months ago.

you have to use the winetricks vcrun2010 because of the way the uid.dll compiled.. your fa install have nothing to do with it.

your compy is now locked, cant do anything..

for the future linux players: you have to create a new faf account for linux, than you wont get locked.

its the default error message for failed uid generator

you can get more detailed error message by running the uid exe directly. wine uid.exe 1234 log.txt in the src directory

my friend is having some problems with running faf on his linux installation (linux mint 16 x64)
(he couldn't post because hes not allowed to put links into his posts, and his logs had some in them :/ )

all he does is install faf, the install seemingly runs fine, then when trying to run it, he gets this error

thanks in advance

(if it wasn't clear i'm not expecting zep to fix this)

[Slvtmong00se]

Sorry for the bump but can anyone help, I seem so close:

-Installed FA through playonlinux, works fine.
-Installed FAF through playonlinux, tried logging in with BRAND NEW account, asked for steam link. (I've never even installed or used steam, my original FA copy was a physical disk, now using RELOADED iso as I can't find the original and dont have an optical drive). Don't know if this counts as proof but my GPGnet handle was Slvtmong00se
-Uninstalled FAF
-Installed unofficial linux port of FAF, tried logging in, did NOT get steam id error. Instead it says FAF isnt latest version (not true),
-Tries to download latest version, crashes upon running it.

Any ideas? Is anyone else in the same boat?

EDIT: ALL THIS IS ON A BRAND NEW LAPTOP WITH A FRESH INSTALL OF UBERSTUDENT 3.0

[PattogoTehen]

unoffical linux port is now updated.

you have to install xdelta3 for the new patch system

[ALPHAxWolfA001]

Anybody willing to summarize the processes posted here? I'm just an initiate in the computer tech world.

[tatsu]

Any of you got FAF to work with steam version of FA?

...going to try this on manjaro.

[meur]

It stop working for me after the recent update 0.10.114(?)->0.10.115 (wine was not updated). After login FAF lobby ask to install update despite the installed version is the same; the installation of the said update doesn't helps and on the next launch the same dialog shows. It happend in the existed wine installation and the same problem occur in a fresh installation.
Wine version 1.7.14, 64-bit Linux.
