If you already have a locally installed version of the game,īe aware that General won't start without some specific registry entries. The game should mostly run out of the box if you install it from the CDs. # before running the game, set US keyboard layout # use bash script to run the game to be able to properly use selecting numbered groups WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-generals" wine generals.exe # delete or rename Data/English/Movies EA* and sizzle* files to skip intro videos # edit system.reg, find Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\\ergc and change itĬd ~/.wine-generals/drive_c/Games/Command\ and\ Conquer\ Generals\ Deluxe\ Edition/Command\ and\ Conquer\ Generals\ Zero\ Hour/ # edit registry - change license key to play multiplayer # virtual desktop is necessary so the game doesn't crash on switching windows # edit Options.ini, set the same resolution as you did on virtual desktop on winecfg # you can install winetricks dxvk (optional) WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-generals" wine setup.exe Sudo mount -t iso9660 install/Command\ and\ Conquer\ Generals\ Deluxe\ Edition.iso /mnt -o loop

# set winxp (probably just optional) and virtual desktop, deselect win manager can control the windows WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-generals" winecfg Sudo apt install libgl1:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 One game crashed with mismatch error and I suspect that the reason was the web browser running on background on slower computer and keeping CPU busy.

I have tested multiplayer games (more than 10 played successfully till the end with this setup). I am using KDE Neon with stable Wine installed from winehq repositories (two laptops, AMD and NVidia graphics, AMD open source driver, NVidia proprietary).
