Running MCO on any Linux/Unix system?
Hey,

Has anyone tried running MCO on any Linux/Unix system via Wine?

From what Ive checked even the official MechCommander 2 1.0 is a p.i.t.a. to get running and from what I understand the original source that was made available from which MCO is derived is recompiled as a P.O.C just to show it can be done.

Anyone?

Best regards,

Ulric

Hello,

I've tried running MCO under Wine on Linux Mint 17.1, but there hasn't been any success. Maybe using PlayOnLinux could give a different result? I'll have to see...

On the other hand, MCG works mostly fine on my Linux system (through PoL, but that uses Wine anyway).
I say "mostly" simply because the screen is a bit cut off on my monitor, but that could just be something on my end that I haven't checked.

Re: Running MCO on any Linux/Unix system?
I've run MCG on Linux using Wine as well, everything worked flawlessly for both official campaigns except video playback, which can crash the game (based on a few factors like using a virtual desktop and moving the mouse outside said desktop)

I haven't tried MCO though.
