- 0cf8612b2e1e 1y agoHeh. Which is why the only stable Linux ABI is Win32.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoAnd even then not always. For example, Rome 2 Total War crashes in Proton, but works just fine on actual Windows.
- GeekyBear 1y agoThat report is for the fixed version of HOMM 3 from GOG, not the original version of the game.
- yownie 1y agothere's a linux version off archive.org I managed to get running last year. this is a perfect problem for a flatpak to solve however.
