Works on PlayOnLinux with LAN Multiplayer
This version of the game avoids all the messing about with the original cds, or ISOs, and patches, and no-cds, and patches of IPX, and patches of patches. I'm using (2 PCs the same) Ubuntu Studio 20.04, PlayOnLinux 4.3.4 with the installer provided through the service. Wine 3.03 emulating Win98. The only additional 'Install Component' I needed was Directplay. Nvidia proprietary driver - legacy driver 390. Plus also playing on the same network a newer Win7 PC that had to be told to run it in Win98 compatibility mode. This version worked out of the box (apart from PlayOnLinux not automatically installing Directplay for multiplayer). It used to take longer to set up in 1997. I don't think we even managed to get the TCP/IP working back then, we used to do it with fricking printer cables. GOG should say "Linux compatible", because it very much is. I reckon it doesn't even need POL - in its Wine there are only about 4 library overrides showing. The publishers really should have taken the opportunity to introduce some more modern netcode than Directplay which I believe has been deprecated for a lot of years. This is amazingly good value for Linux gamers. This GOG repackage levels another bit of the playing field with Windows, because in nearly 25 years none of the AAA titles on any platform has managed to exceed Total Annihilation.
