RealityFactory Runs in Linux Ubuntu 18.04

Post by bernie »

I have Reality Factory working in Ubuntu 18.04. Everything works good. Milkshape and Equity 8x also. You need to run them through Wine and also using wine tricks need to install MFC42.DLL & Msvcirt.DLL :D

That is way cool, bernie. It has been years since I dual booted Ubuntu. I always liked it.

RF v76 has problems with conversation in Ubuntu, it doesn't respond to key presses. This odd because the keys work fine in the main game ( w s a d e spacebar etc) all work but not in conversation.

Just tried RF v0.78, the engine and demos run but RFEditpro doesn't run, it just refuses to start altogether, probably another DLL missing in wine.

I've never used conversation. Isn't it scripted? Perhaps wine can't translate the script? Wine is very touchy.

Probably right about the missing dll.
