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

[Ze_PilOt]

"At this time"

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

[Raging_Squirrel]

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

[maxis11]

FA launching with out problems , but FAF... ok I will setup a virtual machine and play on it

[TheStrategist]

i doubt a VM is efficient enough to run fa smoothly

[fralala]

Has anyone made any progress on this issue? Since Forged Alliance runs flawlessly under Linux, it's a pity that FAF does not.

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.

There is no issue, for 2 reasons:
1) maxis11 and you are the only 2 running supcom on linux
2) you do not want to run the FAForever lobby on top of wine, you will want to run faforever just like any other python program with /usr/bin/python (but of course you need a special edition from zep) and faforever must execute
"wine ForgedAlliance.exe /foo /bar /baz"

[Ze_PilOt]

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

[fralala]

Thank you both for your input.

There is no issue, for 2 reasons:
1) maxis11 and you are the only 2 running supcom on linux

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

2) you do not want to run the FAForever lobby on top of wine, you will want to run faforever just like any other python program with /usr/bin/python (but of course you need a special edition from zep) and faforever must execute
"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?
