RE: Newbie Questions

<t> Well, I use something in between, that is to say, a shell script I put on the desktop. To ensure it uses the terminal environment, the 'wine' command itself must be launched as an option by the terminal emulator (like 'xterm -e') to run it.<br/>
<br/>
So I consider this one solved. Thank you ...

RE: Newbie Questions


Nice! I tried the same and it works. I also did it the other way around. I launched the wine session and executed the wine built-in command shell start.exe in c:\windows\command and then mech.exe. This also works. I guess it may then be some path issue.

RE: Newbie Questions


Thanks for the info! I will upgrade wine when the next system general overhaul is due. Right now, I don't dare so, since atm. I have several other programs using the current config which I depend on. It's the only issue I have so far afterall.

Well, I believe it must have been Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition many years ago in my case...<br/>

The only glitch I found so far is that the game completly freezes, when I try to show mission data by clicking the 'Mission' button in the Formation Selection menu, no matter if I ...

No, I used the 'Load Scenario' button in the main menu. Just tried again with Global Domination 1938, which works.

RE: Newbie Questions


Thank you for the welcome. :-D
I am glad that many of the technically not so state-of-the-art games work surprisingly well under Wine. Most glitches are minor and can be circumvented or don't spoil the fun.

RE: Triumph of the Reich scenario


Yes, after I installed the .atzip, I have the subfolder with the .at2 file. That's the one I tried opening, but it won't run. I tried few other scenarios and/or mods, which are working fine. It's only this one, I have troubles with... :-/

Triumph of the Reich scenario

<t> <br/>
Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I hope this is the right spot for this question. I want to play the Triumph of the Reich scenario from VRs scenario bank, but fail. What is the correct way to launch the scenario? I tried to simply load it in the main menu, but it doesn't run. Unfortunately I am limited ...

Hi folks,<br/>
<br/>
I am new to the game and got the free game patched to v8.403 running in the Wine layer on a Linux machine.<br/>
<br/>
Since I am considering to buy the commercial version, I'd like to know, wether there is a technical difference between the two games, besides the ...
