More generally, I usually have more success running older games under Wine than on Windows 10 or 11 - DXVK helps a lot with early directx9 games in particular, in my experience.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoI use the DODI patched variant of Red Alert 2 which works out of the box on Windows 11 as it ships with all the necessary patched DLLs to work on modern Windows.
- thombat 3y agoCould be you'll need a differently patched up mutant breed for Linux?
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoMaybe. But I ran out of patience after about an hour. If gaming on Linux is advertised to "just works TM" then it really must just work without hours of tinkering.
- minimaul 3y agoAh, I’m installing from an image of the CD I had as a child ;) probably explains the differences!
