C&C Red Alert 3, Wine: game.dat process not found

13 July 2020 - 07:13 PM

Error: game.dat process not found

os: Arch Linux 64bits (wine 2.18, tested with windows xp and windows 7 config)

 

Description:

 

I'm trying to run RA3 (installed with CD, but patched to 1.12) under Wine 2.18, game starts but the online dosen't work

 

log say "game.dat process not found" so i think is not "inserting" the online thing

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Wine doesn't have necessary features, but it seems somebody got it to work before:

thanks in advice <3

[Game version]: Normal

[Operating System]: Arch Linux (Wine 2.18 stagging)

the "C&C online" launcher works fine, and when I touch "red alert 3" the game opens properly, but when trying to connect I get "cannot connect to backend server"

 

[LOG]:

[extra info]
 
As extra information, I have kept the log document open and the line "ERROR: game.dat process not found." only appears when closing the game, before that, it stays forever in "Detaching ..." I don't know if it has something to do, but I put it just in case
