danger89 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Wauw this is wonderful news for the Linux community (including myself), thanks! I however would advice to update the download page (this is an example of the red alert one, same for Tiberian Sun). I mean it just looks like I can ONLY play singleplayer, while in fact I can play Command & Conquer Gold, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun including Online / Skirmish / LAN plus indeed singleplayer campaign. I hope you take my remark seriously. Edited September 24, 2018 by danger89
FunkyFr3sh Posted September 28, 2018 Author Posted September 28, 2018 Oh right, I forgot to remove the "Single player" text when I updated the downloads, thanks for reporting. It would also be nice if it could detect the OS and automatically and show the right download on the orange button (not sure if that's possible). We are still not done with the downloads yet and there will be some more changes to make things more clear
300zxTurbo Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) I just got done installing the cncnet_1.0_all.deb package on Linux Mint 19 64-bit and it won't run, or even launch. I get this error in the terminal: Quote 0009:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed Any Ideas? Edited March 25, 2019 by 300zxTurbo

300zxTurbo Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Well, that was pretty obvious. Problem is I see no package for wine-mono. How do I install it? Isn't this package kind of broken if it doesn't fetch all needed dependencies? I'll keep googling, but haven't really figured it out yet.
FunkyFr3sh Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 The package was built on linux mint 19 64bit and fully tested there. It doesn't require wine mono. Just tried it again and it worked fine. Is there any specific wine version you're using? You installed the package via DoubleClick->gdebi? 1
300zxTurbo Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I don't have wine installed on the system at all other than the wine wrapper that comes with the cncnet_1.0_all.deb package. Fresh Install of Linux Mint 19. Yes, installed using Gdebi. I'll keep trying. I really don't get why it works for everyone else but not for me. I spent almost a whole day trying to get it to work lol. When I click the launcher, nothing happens. When I run in terminal, that is the error code that it spits out. I guess I'll just have to stick to playing it on windows or setting up in wine manually. Thanks anyway. EDIT: Dunno if it makes a difference, but was the Version of Mint 19 you tested, the one with the Cinnamon Desktop? Edited March 26, 2019 by 300zxTurbo
300zxTurbo Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Well I tried running with sudo and got this error: Quote sudo /usr/games/cncnet wine: /home/useracc/.local/share/cncnet is not owned by you

300zxTurbo Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 That did it! Awesome, thanks for the help. I wonder why it didn't work the first 10 times I uninstalled and reinstalled though... Wierd. Really Appreciate it, can stop pulling my hair out and start playing some CNC now.

In order contribute I created a Pull Request on Homebrew repository (it's a command-line based unofficial package manager for macOS, widely used) and apparently it just got merged. So from now on if you have Homebrew installed all you need to do is: brew cask install cncnet Edited March 29, 2019 by cnctr formatting

That also helped me to get the installer throught.

Looks like the package wasn't installed properly, you're missing one of its dependencies. Try to install it again.

Try to install it again. Okay, I noticed the error occurs directly during installation also: - It downloads .NET framework 2.0 - it installs .NET framework 2.0 - The font error occurs: - followed by another one: So I guess this is a problem within wine? But I'm a total newbe, no idea what to watch out for. I googled to see where I could put additional fonts and found https://askubuntu.com/questions/86335/installing-other-fonts-on-wine but still, I don't know which font is missing. :-S
FunkyFr3sh Posted June 1, 2019 Author Posted June 1, 2019 not sure why this would happen for you... Try again rm -rf ~/.local/share/cncnet then sudo apt update && apt upgrade and then (just to be sure...) sudo apt install fonts-wine 1
Commander_Keen Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 My system was/is pretty much up to date (Linux Mint 19.1, updating every other week). Nevertheless I executed all commands in that order. The last command in fact fixed it. :-) Seems to work fine now. Awesome work, donated right away. Thank you very much. :-) 1
jokergermany Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I have exactly the same Problem, fonts-wine was already installed. Ubuntu Mate 22.04 LTS €dit: Used Lutris https://lutris.net/games/command-conquer-red-alert/ Edited February 12, 2023 by jokergermany
