Will this game work with Linux

Post by Extraneous »

Using Wine 1.0 or greater.

Wine is a free and open source software application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Wine also provides a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems

It does not work under wine out of the box. Currently sorting out the required native dlls. I'll set up an appdb entry when done.

It works great in a vbox though! Probably even less painful than having it run under wine!

Nope, not worth resolving. Use a VBox under Linux.
