Thank you for the fast feedback. Enabling cnc-draw actually fixes the crash, but results in a little strange display: I can still see my gnome panel on the top, while playing the game and resolution looks weird (some distance to the top, black borders left and right), but ... I also found a working solution for procudure 2: I had to get a new wine version. So I did: 1.) follow procedure II in previous post 2.) in playonlinux --> tools --> manage wine versions --> install wine 1.6.2 (current latest 1.7 will NOT work) --> close dialog --> click RA1MPLauncher --> "configure" --> "wine version" --> "1.6.2" --> greek letters are gone. 3.) Everything works perfectly ... ...except: peer-to-peer does not work, although port 8054 is forwarded in the router to the game machine, and netstat shows, that its locally listening, but thats a different problem.

Hello, I'm running RA1 in linux, but either the game crashes, or (with slightly differen installation method) the game itself works perfectly, but the lobby has greek letters only O.o so i cannot chat, understand the checkboxes, when creating a game, etc. Has anyone experienced that before? I tried two different installation procedures: Procedue I (lobby and fonts will work, but game will crash): 1.) Download RA1: http://dev.cncnet.org/files/RedAlert1_Online_Installer.exe 2.) Install playonlinux: sudo apt-get install playonlinux 3.) start playonlinux 4.) install using the installer from playonlinux: klick "+" button --> klick "install non listed programm" --> "next" --> "new virtual drive" --> enter "bla" --> check "install some libs" --> "32 bit" --> dotnet2.0 + gdiplus --> choose RedAlert1_Online_Installer.exe --> "english" --> "set install path to C:\users\tekkentux\RedAlert1_Online --> next --> play online dialog shows up, cancel --> select RA1MPLauncher to create shortcut --> next --> "no further shortcuts" --> next 5.) Launch the game from playonlinux (text in lobby looks good, but game will crash) click RA1MPLauncher --> Play --> Play Online --> "login" --> "new game" --> "create" --> "ready" --> "start game" --> it crashes Procedure II: Game will work, but lobby will have greek letters only: Install RA1 using playonlinux (trick to create a virtual drive in playonlinux): 1.) Start playonlinux 2.) klick "+" --> enter "red" in search bar --> select "Command and Conquer : Red Alert 1" --> double click --> ok --> next --> next --> cancel --> next 3.) klick "+" --> klick "install non listed programm" --> "next" --> "change existing" --> "show virtual drives" --> select RedAlert (created in step 2) --> check "install some libs" --> "32 bit" --> dotnet2.0 + gdiplus --> choose RedAlert1_Online_Installer.exe --> "english" --> "set install path to C:\users\tekkentux\RedAlert1_Online --> next --> play online dialog shows up, cancel --> select RA1MPLauncher to create shortcut --> next --> "no further shortcuts" --> next 4.) Launch the game from playonlinux (lobby will have greek letters only, but games works) click RA1MPLauncher --> Play --> Play Online --> "login" --> "new game" --> "create" --> "ready" --> "start game" --> have fun Thanks for any help
