Right now, I have it, flmm and Freelancer companion installed using wine. So far, here's what is working:
1. flmm 1.31 works flawlessly and has the Discovery Mod 4.85 activated. Had to run DSUpdate.exe to get it to update to latest but that worked too. No major issues.
2. FL Companion 2.02 works. but the fonts make the map almost unreadable. Working on that.
3. Freelancer itself installs fine (works only in windowed mode) starts up with Discovery, gives all the expected menus.
a. Multiplayer - just sits there when attempting to connect to servers. No wine output that seems pertinent.
b. Single player - Then wine throws the following error as it times out over and over and over (LOADING screen):
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x90100 "?" wait timed out in thread 003b, blocked by 0047, retrying (60 sec).
So I'm stuck between "the internet says that I can get this working in both single and multiplayer" and the awful reality of my situation. Anyone ever make this work?
Also, a person named Danthritor was mentioned as makind Discovery work on wine but I can't even find that unusual name on the internet.
