My problem is installing the 1.3b patch - got the game working fine under 1.3a in wine.Īs you say its a 'case' probelm as i learned to my cost. So i suggest to use the following script to call hoi (the path names might need some adjustments.):Ĭd '$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 2'īeing a complete Linux 'noob' i am struggleing a bit here and wonder if you can help.

The former will be deleted when wine quits, but the latter will stay around. I forgot: It is beneficial to define the environment variable WINEDEBUG to contain '-all', otherwise your /tmp and $HOME will fill up with a fast growing wine.log and. CORE can not be installed using WINE due to incompatibilities with the installer (but i haven't tried in a while)

Pax Romana does not (due to the braindead copy protection). That's sounds very complicated, but is rather straight forward.īTW. I put these lines in a shell script and put it in my bin folder, so i just have to type hoi2. $ wine C:/Program Files/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 2/hoi2.exe Play the game (why the cd is necessary, i don't know.) $ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 2ħ. Then i unrar-ed the archive with the 'convert filenames to lowercase' option: So either install winrar in wine and use it, or convert the installed HOI2 files all to lowercase (there is a nifty little perl script around called 'chcase'. To apply the AI update is a bit tricky due to the Unix/Linux being case sensitive.

Install the updates in a similiar fashion:Ħ. Or use the drive letter assigned in winecfgĥ. media/cdrom0) and execute the installer: If your X11 setup includes the MS Core TrueType fonts, there is no need to install them again with winetools.Ĥ. You must install DCOM, IE6SP2, Windows Installer etc. Use winetools to set up a fake Windows environment. Install the latest WINE software from There are binary packages for most distributions.Ģ. Just to let all of you who keep Windows only to play HoI2 (a very convincing reason!), that you can also play it on Linux (BSD and Solaris probably too, but i have no personal experience) using the WINE API.ġ.
