Offline Client Binaries

[APriapism]

Hello,

new guy here. i saw on the homepage the download clients for each of the freeware games, such as https://cncnet.org/red-alert#download.

the binaries that are downloaded are less than a couple megs in size. i was hoping to find an entire binary package, of the full game, that i can save a copy of to use offline. You have linux options that are particularly interesting me.

thank you for your time, and thanks for keeping these games alive.

You should be able to simply make a zip or a copy of the directory containing the game after it has been installed to have a true offline copy.

I attempted an install on linux mint 21.

The CnCNet applications require .NET Framework 2.0. You may need to install that. Aside from that I don't know as I haven't tried installing on Linux in a long time.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

The installer downloaded and installed the 2.0 framework, this error came afterwards, and every time i attempt to launch

Weird. I don't recognize "CnCNetLauncher.exe" is this for Red Alert 1?

on cncnet the download for every game, specifically for linux, is 'https://downloads.cncnet.org/cncnet_1.0_all.deb'

this kicks off an install on linux using the package manager. it seems that its an 'all in one'. Do you know who i could speak with that maintains the linux end of development?
