@Phantastopia @mosiwo

kleiner Tipp noch:
Bei #PlayOnLinux, bei der #Wine-Installation daran denken, die amd64-Verrsion zu wählen. (Nicht x86)

#Papyrus Autor ist ein 64-Bit-Programm gebaut, also muss Dein WINE auch 64 Bit unterstützen. :)

I finally did it! After years of trying and failing, I finally got #thesims2 running in #Linux. The secret all along was to use #Lutris to install it. I used the "Universal DVD installer script" on their website and it worked first try! It even worked when #Steam and #Playonlinux didn't. This was the last program I needed #Windows for, so now it's time to erase the partition... once I pull up all of the mods and custom houses and characters I created over the years. lutris.net/games/the-sims-2/

@isthereanydeal
Everything happens eventually, we contacted them in like 2012 or 2013 while working on #PlayOnLinux, telling them that open operating systems would be the natural extension of their DRM-free policy, but received no echo.

Ich hab da zwei so Stück Software... exe Files.
PE32...

Unter Win7 laufen die angeblich gut.
Mit Win8.1 wirds schon schwierig, wegen der nicht signierten Treiber. Da die Software Hardware-Zugriff mit speziellen Treibern benötigt, und nur sehr, sehr wenig Stück im Umlauf sind, ist dem Hersteller die Zertifizierung der Treiben viel zu teuer... also muss Win8.1 in einem speziellen Modus gebootet werden... (kenn mich mit Windows nicht mehr aus...)
Lt. Hersteller läuft diese Software aber auch nicht mit Wine...

Ich hab das jetzt in einer Win7-Wine-Bottle mit #PlayOnLinux installiert.... alle beide Programme... und es läuft.

Mir fehlt nur noch die Hardware dazu um zu prüfen, ob der Hardwarezugriff funktioniert.
Aber das kann ich demnächst testen.

Last night I updated #endeavouros and afterwards I discovered that #skyrim wouldn't start up due to an error with the EGL graphics layer or something. I assumed it was probably a #wine problem so I tried to change the version in #playonlinux but it didn't have any versions newer than 8.x in its kernel selector. Turns out PlayOnLinux hasn't been updated in years and the wine update just broke it. Now I'm going to have to reinstall it with #Lutris or something. I hope my save files are safe.

Bonjour bonjour!
Est-ce que quelq'un a déjà essayé d'installer #Illustrator sous #Ubuntu via #Wine ou #PlayOnLinux ?
Je dois travailler sur un fichier .ai, j'ai une version d'essai officielle, mais j''échoue misérablement à la lancer sous #Linux.
(une sombre histoire de msxml:doparse Start tag expected, '<' not found )
Quelqu'un a-t-il ou elle déjà fait tourner Illustrator sous Ubuntu? Merci!!

Morning tests...

The story behind: a client is considering moving all the new mini PCs in their office to Linux (no BSD is compatible at the moment), since they mainly use web apps and LibreOffice. This client once told me they loved Transport Tycoon, back in the days, so I’m preparing an openSUSE Leap image. I’m sure they’ll be fascinated by this screenshot and the demo installation.

#Linux #openSUSE #PlayOnLinux #OSS #suse

A screenshot of an OpenSuse Leap desktop environment running inside an Oracle VirtualBox virtual machine. The desktop has a yellow and orange wallpaper.

Two application windows are open:

1.  On the left, the game "Simutrans" shows a dialog box titled "Select one or more graphics to install". A list of graphics packs, such as "pak64" and "pak128.Britain", is displayed. The "pak32" option is highlighted, and a progress bar below it indicates it is "Downloading...".

2.  On the right, the game "OpenTTD" is running. It displays an isometric view of a city in the year 1950. 

The taskbar at the bottom of the screen shows icons for several applications, including Simutrans and OpenTTD. The system clock on the far right reads "10:04 15/10/25".

I spent the past few days abroad as I had to attend some family business. We went by #train (german ICE bullet train) and being somewhat of a #trainnerd this sparked a renewed interest in #trainsimulator software that will run on #Linux using #WINE.

Aside from #Zusi3 which is a professional simulator also being used in training centers in germany, there is oldie-but-goldie #MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator) released in 2001 (!)

Yes, this was 24 years ago but still, a lot of #railsim fans here in europe consider it one of the best of its kind and third party patches have been released over the decades to keep it up to date with modern hardware and to iron out some longtime bugs.

However, there is also an alternative to that called #OpenRails which is an open-source remake of MSTS able to run commercial and free content originally designed for MSTS. I installed it using #WINE and #PlayOnLinux on my #VoidLinux box to check out how it performs. Note that I had to use winetricks to install .net 4.7.2 and xna3.1!!

So here are a few screenshots of Open Rails running the commercial "RhB Bernina" Content I bought decades ago.

So for some unknown reason i still get random crashes at my DAW in Win11.

Also trying to install NativeInstruments stuff on Linux is pure hell so i can't leave windows yet.

Can some Mac users please tell me that they also have issues here and there!?

@rastilin I haven't tried Lutris, I will look and see if its compatible thanks! (HL isnt mentioned lutris.net/games?q=half+life but doesn't exclude it)

I tried #PlayOnLinux - as packaged in #Debian - but it was awful. I don't know if thats because of the packaging or the software.
After that I tried #WineTricks (also using Debian packages) and that has been OK, if not super intuitive at first.

@bezekium
In Sachen Zeugnisprogramm würde ich mal ausprobieren, ob das unter #PlayOnLinux läuft.
