Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

Proton usually works quite well, you can enable it in the properties menu, use the latest proton version though.

Some effects in game are currently missing but I’m trying to find a solution

So Would An Intel Aspire E 15 (Nvidia 940MX) or a Lenovo Ideapad 110-15ACL (AMD Athlon 6 Integrated Graphics) be compatable?

Also, do AMD ryzen 2nd gen CPUs play well with Linux when using open source drivers or would I have to use the proprietary ones (I’m asking this because—eventually—I want to build a more powerful (desktop) computer than my current laptop/s)?

Anyways, thank you for all of this wonderful advice Stein!

DRM-free Steam thing (has its ups and downs, some—or a lot—of the members of the ‘Linux community’ like pro-consumer, pro-developer and open source stuff that’s not shady so I thought I’d show you their site :): gog.com

PS: Sorry for the typos!

Also, for the special effects thing (explosions, etc) maybe you should review how the code stuff for in in windows 10 or 7 works so that (if you want) you could maybe try translating it (Yes, I know, Wine is MEANT TO DO THAT but maybe you could write in in the native Linux system calls and stuff. )

Note: please feel free to do—or not to do—this if you so wish.

Have a nice day/evening/night!

Also—do you think that I would be better off with windows 7/10 on my bad pc or should I stick with mint/linux?

You do realise that almost nobody who runs linux is going to say you are better off using windows.

I have always said, use whatever is best for you. Personally for gaming I think windows is better supported. For productivity, its down to what you need and what programs are available. for me though it is still windows, though I run linux for fun on a separate system.

The hp stream is not a gaming laptop, you wont be able to turn it into one, its basically for web surfing, sticking linux on it, really wont make a great deal of difference at least performance wise. though it will play simply games such as solitaire and the various facebook games)

The Acer Aspire having the 940mx, sounds like it is going to be the best performer, but what cpu is it? I am assuming with it being paired with a 940m, it will still be better than the others.

Also the 940 is vulkan compatible.

However while the acer is the best out of what you have listed, its still not a great gaming laptop.

Yeah it largely depends on what you want to do on your PC, if all you are ever going to do is just gaming and you have origin games then Windows 10 is a better option (if the privacy issues don’t bother you that is).

I use Linux because it makes C++ development a lot easier for me and I get the added bonus of forcing myself to make everything cross platform, some say Linux is harder to use than Windows because you have to know how to use the terminal but at least you don’t have to deal with forced updates, annoying anti-virus and the 100% hard drive usage thing (this is caused by telemetry when MS uploads collected data to their servers), so all in all Linux is more user-centric and in some cases it’s easier to do certain things but harder to do others.

I’ve been using Linux exclusively for 4 years and I haven’t gotten an issue with a game on steam that I couldn’t get to run in some way, one of the more difficult games to setup were Arma 3 but after a few proton updates it works out of the box (except that you need to bypass the launcher, but that’s it, other than the anti-cheat not working it’s perfectly playable)

Also don’t use debian or any debian based system for playing games on proton, they have extremely outdated packages (2 or 3 major versions behind) unless you enable the unstable branch (debian sid), otherwise I would recommend you try manjaro or if you are up for it, plain Arch Linux (It doesn’t have a graphical installer so it’s pretty hard to install if you haven’t done it before).

Supreme commander 2 steam linux

For me game is working very well — except flickering cursor.

I followed this steam compatibility report:

«Add the following to launch options: PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% Start the game and it will create its configuration files in its appdata folder.

Kill the process.

Navigate to /home/%USER%/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/9420/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Gas Powered Games/SupremeCommander/Open the Game.prefs file with a text editor and add the following to the options_override section:

The game should now start. Create a profile and go to the video options.

Everything can be set to max, except fidelity must not be set higher than medium and bloom render must be turned off.The game’s video tends to freeze when changing video settings. Just kill the process and restart the game. Your settings will be saved and the game should start with them correctly set.If you accidentally set fidelity or bloom render to non-working values, you can edit the Game.prefs file to get the game working again.Change the following settings under the options section in the profile section as shown below:fidelity = 1,bloom_render = 0The game should work again.The game often freezes when trying to exit normally. Just kill the process.»

—edit—
If anyone knows how to solve flickering cursor issue on linux — I will greatly appreciate it.

Setting Up FAF Linux

This wiki article details the installation of the Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance game and the Forged Alliance Forever (FAF) clients on Linux.

Contents

Contact

If you have questions please contact the community:

About the game

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance game runs under Linux using wine.

sudo apt install wine

You only need the Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance game and the #Java Downlord’s Client to be able to play in the FAF community. The game is available on Steam.

Install Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

You can install the game with the following methods:

Using Linux Steam (RECOMMENDED For the Java client) #Install using native Steam Native Linux Steam can install the game and the necessary Windows DLLs, libraries for running it. Steam’s compatibility tool (Proton/Wine) will be able to run the game. Using Windows Steam via Wine Windows Steam can install the game and the necessary Windows DLLs, libraries for running it. The disadvantage of this method is that you have to deal with Windows Steam that has certain known bugs with Wine (logging in, downloading games). You can manage to do it but it’s a hassle. Using Linux SteamCMD It’s basically the same as the first one but you have to install SteamCMD and know SteamCMD commands. Not recommended since native Linux Steam is much more convenient. Using Windows SteamCMD via Wine It’s basically the same as the second one but you have to install SteamCMD and know SteamCMD commands. It can be less a hassle but certain Windows Steam bugs might still appear. Using Lutris Lutris has a UI and uses SteamCMD (and your Steam account) to install Steam games in a Wine environment. Using retail copy of the game ISO, DVD via Wine Just launch the install of the DVD in a Wine environment. You will have to add the necessary Windows DLLs and libraries manually in Wine. NOTE: When using the FAF clients, the clients will prompt you to link your Steam account to FAF to prevent duplicated accounts and malicious users joining the FAF community. You will have to register the serial number of your game in Steam. This means that illegal copies of the ISO will not work, in this case buy the game on Steam, it’s cheap.

Install using native Steam

Set your Steam client

Steam -> Settings -> Steam Play -> under Advanced -> «Enable Steam Play for all other titles»

Install the game, set launch options

Set the following launch options, then start the game from Steam

Properties -> Set Launch Options -> set this:

PROTON_NO_ESYNC will solve slow video playback problems in the main menu and other places.
PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS will generate a RUN script for your game that you will be able to use later.

Properties -> Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool:

Proton 4.2-9 causes desync issues during playing the game.

Proceed with the installation of the Java Client after this. #Java Downlord’s Client

File Locations

Install using SteamCMD

You can download FA using a steam installation in wine. The following steps describe how to download FA using steamcmd on Arch Linux:

Now you need to run steamcmd once as root to let it install its updates:

now run steamcmd as your normal user to download your copy of FA and run the following commands in its shell:

Install using the retail ISO

Just launch the setup from the CD (ISO).

After installation

and enable «emulate virtual screen» option in graphics tab and enter you display resolution.

After installation run the game without the client, setup graphics and make sure everything works like sound etc. The bloom renderer graphics setting may not work. If the game does not start again, delete the #Game.prefs

If the game crashs with the following error:

install d3dx9 using winetricks:

If you have no sound install xact audio:

File Locations

Game.prefs

Your game.prefs contains all game settings, like graphics settings, keybindings and active UI mods. It is located at

but this path depends on your WINEPREFIX and probably on the Windows version you set up in wine.

Java Downlord’s Client

Please #Contact the community for more information.

Script Installation

You can find a FAF Installer in Lutris. Informations are available in our forum.

There is also a bash script for installing everything you need (including the game itself). It works on Ubuntu and other distributions as well: installFAFscript

Nowadays the script is rarely updated so the manual install method is recommended instead (just a few steps).

Note: that this script upgrades your Ubuntu distribution (ex: 18.10 -> 19.04).

Manual Installation

The followings are a step by step example installation on Ubuntu 20.xx, it’s built upon a native Steam installation of the game.

Download the Java FAF client

Install JAVA 15

Install Java 15 Runtime Environment (JRE) or Development Kit (JDK)

Note: Java installs to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-15-oracle (we will use this path later)
Note: The client doesn’t work with other Java versions.

Set execute flags

Open a terminal and set execute flags for the following files (if they don’t have already).

Set INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME

In the same terminal, set the INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME environment variable

At this point you should be able to run the FAF client. Please test this:

Note: You will need to set the INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME environment variable every time you open a new terminal. It is possible to create your own bash script for starting the client or to append the export command to your .bashrc file. Alternatively, you can edit the ‘downlords-faf-client’ shell script and add the ‘export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-15-oracle’ command at the top of the file.

Copy the Steam RUN script

If you ran the game from Steam you should have a file called «run» in /tmp/proton_your_linux_username. The tmp directory is only temporary so copy this file to somewhere nice.

If you cannot find the run file, please check your Steam settings again. #Install the game, set launch options

Note: This file contains the environment variables for Proton that are necessary to launch the game in a Proton/Wine environment. It also contains the version of Proton that you have selected previously in Steam. The FAF client will use this file to launch the game after we set it.

Client Setup

Launch the FAF client

Settings

Set File Locations

Client: Settings / Forged Alliance Forever /

Advanced, Command line format for executable:

Note: The run file mentioned here is the run file you copied earlier from the Steam temporary directory.

Use fallback vault location

(obsolete for version 1.3.0?)
Set «Use fallback vault location» in the client settings.

Without it, your custom downloaded maps and mods won’t show up in the client and the game.

Create a game

Try to create a game and wait for the client to patch the FAF executable. At this point everything should work.

File Locations

Configuration directory for the client
It contains logs, client.prefs the configuration file of the client, etc.

Note: The client.prefs file contains your username and password.

Location of mods and maps downloaded by the client
Use #Use fallback vault location!

The script that launches the client: downlords-faf-client

Issues with the game

The FAF client doesn’t launch the game

When you double click on lobbies in the Java FAF client, the game doesn’t start. If you installed the game using Steam then you need to have Steam running in the background. Just open Steam and try again.

When Steam is not running then you get this error in the terminal:

No sound when the game is minimized

No sound when the game is minimized or running in the background.

Solution Run winecfg and configure your Proton/wine or vanilla Wine. Graphics -> «Emulate a virtual desktop» -> Desktop Size: your native resolution

Mouse cursor flickering

The mouse cursor flickers/disappears.

Solution

• Enable vertical sync (on/off) in the game’s settings
• Run the game, open the game’s console and issue command: d3d_WindowsCursor. This command has to be executed every time you start a game. You can automate this with the «console++ 1.01» mod.

You don’t have to do every of these, just try, see what is working for you.

Performance issues

Low FPS and 45+ min crashes.

Use Proton 5.xx. It has Directx9 -> Vulkan translation enabled by default. If you have no Vulkan support, it will revert back to Directx9 -> opengl translation which is slow.

Note: Your Linux graphics drivers need to have Vulkan support for this one. This link will help you to install (and test it): https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

You can use DXVK_HUD=1 option to see whether the Vulkan translation is working or not for Proton 5.xx too. See below.

Proton 4.11 has D9VK built in so you can use that as well if for some reason Proton 5.xx doesn’t work for you. To enable D9VK set Launch options in Steam to:

Start the game from Steam, copy the Run file then start the client with the following terminal commands:

Note: DXVK_HUD will display FPS numbers in the upper left corner of the screen in lobbies and in games. You can remove that if you want. It only works when D9VK is active.

The game crashes at

45min in game time

The game crashes at

45min in game time.

Solution

• Turn off the minimap and don’t use split view.
• Use Proton 5.xx
• Use the the Vulkan translation layer (Directx9 to Vulkan) for Proton/Wine or vanilla Wine (see the previous one, Solution 1 and Solution 2).

Desync issues

The desync window appears during gameplay.

Solution Turn off mods and use appropriate Proton/Wine and vanilla Wine versions. See:

Note: Don’t forget to create and copy your Steam RUN file again if you change the version of Proton.

Game starts but the screen is black

The game starts, sound ok, but the screen is black.

Solution Use appropriate Proton/Wine and vanilla Wine versions. See:

Java Downlord’s client freezes

The java Downlord’s client consumes insane amount of CPU, memory or freezes.
