WITP AE Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Game (Fixed)

Post by Lowpe »

I have a goofy laptop where windows 7 updater failed on it, and despite my best attempts at getting it to work, have simply moved on to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for it.

I referenced an excellent post by Temagic to get WITP AE up and running beautifully. In fact, I really like my ability to take screenshots for AARs in Ubuntu. So I like it very much.

I am using PlayonLinux, Wine, and 12.04 Ubuntu. See Temagic's post for answers although he is using older versions. tm.asp?m=3032823&mpage=1&key=�

However, I cannot find where the save file is located! That makes multiplayer a little rough! Normally, files are located in something like home/users/wine/drivec/matrix. And sure enough, that is where the game files are but not the save folder.

I then created a save game, searched using dash home search, and cannot find the save.

Does anybody have any clue where the save folder is located? It must be hidden somewhere?

I will admit, I am not a power Linux user, just a casual cheap gamer that gets frustrated with Windows. [:D] Any help appreciated.

Here is a graphic:

Hidden files are enabled, so I should see them.

It runs nicely under Fedora 22 using Temagic's settings though one of the files he recommended did not download properly.

Anyhow all working regardless.

Whoa! Did you have to build wine yourself? Because I couldnt get it to run on F21 or Centos7 and read that it was because theyre not including 32bit binarys anymore.
