Title: Hello there
Post by: CJ on December 16, 2014, 05:06:51 PM
Hi there! I played SWBF in 2006-08 (often on the JMMC servers), but stopped playing after I switched from Windows to Linux. I was feeling a bit nostalgic lately, so a few months ago I bought a copy of the game off Amazon and installed it on Linux using Wine (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3007).

I'm using SWBF 1.3 beta with nocd and gamemaster hexedit. Seems to work well, even with my laptop's integrated graphics. The loading screen was very slow, but a patch to Wine (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29582) fixed it.

I found out about SWBFGamers when searching for a solution to the broken multiplayer. Thanks for the instructions on using GameMaster! Haven't played any multiplayer games yet - looking forward to meeting you on the servers.

Welcome  :cheers:

You will need to use 1.2 to play multiplayer with us, but we look forward to seeing you on the front!

Strangely, I'm still using 1.3 beta (or at least I think I am, it's possible the nocd was for 1.2 and mislabeled) and able to connect to the servers, which are running 1.2.

Can you provide a link?  I can make a correction to the description (if it is on this site).
