Disco Freelancer and wine (ubuntu) need help

[camsarria]

Greetings, im a user of ubuntu on my laptop; and i tried to install discovery FL on it, and essentially i can run the game but i get no acess to the server list.

Its quite frustrating, because i get better performance in FL on linux ubuntu then on windows XP (the only windows OS that has drivers for the laptop.)

Can anyone of you run multiplayer Discovery FL on ubuntu? and if so, how?

Cheers

I think someone managed to get multiplayer working. I suggest looking it up in the wine app database. Google is your friend. :)

I gave it another try... still cant go online, tried your links, and even direct IP.

What do you refer by .net fix?

Try installing directplay through winetricks?

Also, Xubuntu is better

I did installed it thru direct play, my present OS is linux mint.
Also tried running it thru XP via virtual box, the game performance is horrible.
