Installing of HOMEWORLD REMASTERD with PlayOnLinux was no problem after additionally installing some vredists and the actual version of WINE. But how to start the classical games with PlayOnLinux or WINE? I had appreciated if Homeworld 1+2 had also been ready to start from the main screen of the REMASTERED part.
However: any ideas, suggestions, successful tries or working Shellscripts?
I know that this package was not meant for Linux, but I'm not willing to return to Microsoft products. ;)



Homeworld Remastered ließ sich unter PlayOnLinux (aktuelle WINE Version) recht einfach installieren, nachdem die fehlenden vcredist installiert wurden. Bei den Klassikern ist es leider so, dass diese nicht aus dem Hauptmenu startbar sind und dass, wenn sie direkt mit WINE gestartet werden, die Auflösung nicht stimmt und ich den Rechner neu starten muss.
Gibt es eine bekannte Methode, dass ich auch die Klassiker unter WINE/PlayOnLinux zum Laufen bekomme? Z.B. ein Shellscript, was die richtige Parametrisierung vornimmt (z.B. 1680x1050 Bildschirmauflösung)?
Beste Lösung wäre natürlich, dass es direkt aus dem Remastered-Starter funktionieren würde oder ein WINE-Starter direkt mitgeliefert wird. Ja, ich weiß, dass das Spiel nicht nativ läuft, aber ich werde deshalb nicht zu WIN zurückkehren.;)

The classic versions should be under Homeworld1Classic / Homeworld2Classic folders. Something like:
/Homeworld Remastered/Homeworld1Classic/exe/Homeworld.exe
/Homeworld Remastered/Homeworld2Classic/Bin/Release/Homeworld2.exe

Thank you for the info and the link. I will try the proposed solution. The problem I have seems to be similar (the screen resolution after starting the game hinders to do anything reasonable except hard reset of the computer).
Hi,

Can you write what WINE config you have ? I try on WINE 3.20 but with no success :(
