A quick update

RotWK works fully on wine without a CD but you will need to have patch 1.06 enabled for BFME2 before you start up RotWK.
The last few things to repair are the colour settings for custom heroes and a small game pause bug when loading a save file.

As before, follow the install steps careflly and you should have no issues.

Any questions, let me know

OK so BFME2 update.

I completely removed the files and folders for BFME2 and re-ran the steps from this guide here: guide

After some fiddling around it now works! ( the path should be /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/users/<username>/Application Data/My Battle for Middle-earth™ II Files/    in the other guide. )

I'll try to put together a full guide for anyone thats really stumped but if you follow the steps slowly and carefully, then it should work just fine.

The only hill to tackle now is RotWK which seems to throw gamedata errors with the patches installed    the little scamp.

I havent tried all the patches yet but when I hit v5 the game started demanding the CD so lower than that i likely a no go.

If anyone has any ideas please chime in, im sure with just a few of us we can get this working.

Cheers
 

Updated the guide, removed some steps and added better scripts.

 

While T3Aonline still doesn't work, I also recently got BFME I mods and BFME II working on Linux. I don't have guides up, but just know those are both possible following similar steps as in the instructions

Ive tried to install BFME II using your guide above and the other install guide for windows, and im not having much luck at all. The installation seems to have gone ok but trying to launch the game only gets me the splash screen before it closes.
Don't suppose youre thinking of writing a second guide for BFME 2 at all? or if you have a few notes on how best to debug whats going on?

Happy to help figure this out together.

Im running ubuntu 19.10 and wine-4.0.2 (Ubuntu 4.0.2-1) if that makes any difference.

I do have BFME I working all thanks to you  (your guide is top funking notch), so i can take a little slice of my teenage years with me everywhere.

Seriously nice work man

Many thanks
