Overview

The fallback option of running in a Virtual Machine is present, but truly sucks. I don't understand why this has to keep being an issue and why they, the MidsReborn team, can't stop using features that aren't compatible with Wine, but HERE WE ARE. Oh well. If they had a Linux build, I'd donate to their development just as I donate for Homecoming and the homecoming.wiki website. I'm not above paying for effort, far from it. As it stands, if I have to jump through hoops to get something to work and I don't have to pay for it, then I've paid for it by jumping through hoops, IMHO. Edit to add: I wrote this as I was installing files for MidsReborn in the Virtual Machine. Running it, it requires some kind of OpenGL passthrough that my VM wasn't doing properly. I was using virt-manager on Ubuntu 25.04. I don't know how to move forward now, and I'm just giving up on Mids for now. Maybe Wine will advance to support this some day soon.

Thank you for this. I managed to get it set up, updated, and running. I wasn't able to locate Filesystems in Bottles to add the access to my existing files, but I dropped copies into the C drive to get to them. I even was able to get decent enough scaling on my comically huge TV to see them decently well. Your effort is hugely appreciated.

If you want to try bottles again, Here is the step by step process I used for bottles: For bottles: flatpak install bottles Open Bottles Create New Bottle Name it MidsReborn Leave it as application Switch the Runner to sys-wine-10.0 (if it does not show up in your terminal flatpak install wine, choose 24.08) Click Create After the Bottle is created Go to Settings, Switch the Windows Version to 11 Hit the Back Arrow to get back to the MidsReborn Bottle Screen Go to Dependencies: Click the Download Arrow on dotnetcoredesktop8 Click the Download Arrow on vcredist2022 Download the latest MRB zip file from midsreborn.com Extract it to ~/.var/app/com.userbottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/MidsReborn/drive_c/users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn You will need to create the LoadedCamel and MidsReborn Folders In Bottles click Add Shorcuts Browse to ~/.var/app/com.userbottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/MidsReborn/drive_c/users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn select MidsReborn.exe Click the Play Icon to launch MidsReborn It should launch and will probably need to update a few times. If it doesn't relaunch after an update just launch it again. If you want a launch option for mids in your main menu, click on the 3 dots and Add Desktop Entry. It may pop up a webpage with instructions on how to allow permission to do this. They are very straight forward. If you want to save build files into your Linux home directory you will need to install flatseal flatpak install flatseal Run it and in Bottles scroll down to Filesystems and either click the toggle next to All user files or the folder icon next to Other files and type in the path to where you want access. (for example I save all my build files to my dropbox which is at ~/Dropbox) If you already have bottles installed you can skip down to create a new bottle.

I spent over 3 hours trying on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. I tried posts about Lutris, Wine, and via Bottles. One time the app kinda opened, and even looked more visible on my gigantic TV that it did before. But, I just ended up in a loop of it crashing over and over. Hopefully a solution that I can wrap my foggy brain around will come along soon. As it is, I just reinstalled the flatpak version from before so I can at least see the builds I had. I know the numbers won't make sense anymore, but there's comfort in following a plan, even not a great one.

Yeah, when I check for updates it tells me that Mids Reborn v3.7.14.3 and Homecoming Database 2025.6.1082 are available. When I click update, nothing happens - well, the updates available box vanishes, but when I click check for updates it comes back. Nothing downloads, nothing updates. Next Day Edit: I kept digging, and I stumbled onto this url: https://updates.midsreborn.com/full_updates/ There's a zip file there, download it and extract it. Then copy the contents into your MidsReborn folder and tell it to over-write all the files with the same name. That'll update you to the newest Mids version and the newest Homecoming database.

As it currently stands the flatpak cannot update to 3.7.14.3. The in-app updater does nothing through wine. I do know how to manually install the 3.7.14.3 update, however doing this in the flatpak causes mids to permanently freeze upon opening. I have been exploring solutions to this issue but have not found one yet. If anyone needs help with setting up the system wine mids install or installing through bottles feel free to reach out to me.

I don't even see it on the server

It has to be the Windows .Net8 Desktop runtime. There are required files from it that are not part of the Linux .Net Runtime or SDK

This is my first time posting regarding Mids and I want to take the opportunity to say thanks for providing such a wonderful service that has been incredibly useful to me and countless others through the years. I know that Mids is imperfect and by necessity a constant work in progress... but am I wrong in thinking that it has an unusual number of problems when it comes to Bio Armor? A Claws/Bio Armor scrapper has become far and away my favorite character to play, but there seem to be so many inconsistencies with Bio Armor in Mids that I honestly don't know if anything I'm looking at is accurate. Is it just the unusual nature and awkward complexity of the set, is it something else or am I misjudging what I'm seeing completely? Also, is there another option if I want to be able to lock down the numbers for a character using Bio Armor?

Did you install the .NET8 Desktop Runtime? That's the one you need, and it is distinct from the .NET8 Runtime.

Thanks for the work on this, but I was wondering for the 8.0 Net support is this primarily needed in Wine? or can it be through Linux? I was able to have setup 8.0.17 for Core and Net on my system, and it is not recognizing that I have the required .Net set I have installed.

There actually is, but you have to be on the Mids' Reborn Discord server to get it.

what kinds of issues are you having? Mine seems to be working fine.. obviously there isnt a page 2 full updates yet.

Is anyone having issues with Mid's after the last update?

Hey you two. Just saw this message now while looking through the forums. Tried installing Mids afterwards, got the same error message (freshly-formatted Win11 machine). Far as I can tell, grabbing a new version of .NET Core from here should fix the error (I grabbed the "Recommended" version 9, but anything 6 8 or higher should work): https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download EDIT: Note that the MIDS installer also installs a specific version of .net (8.0.14 as of this post). That's normal with .NET stuff, no worries there. EDIT 2: Apparently needs version 8 or higher. Corrected post.

HI all - I was hoping to find a reply regarding this error but alas, no. I also got a new machine with Windows 11 and tried to run MRB_Setup and got the same message "MidsReborn cannot be installed on systems with .NET Core version lower than 6.0. " I checked Windows Update and it says I'm all up-to-date, so what am I missing? Thanks for the help! Parenthetical

awesome thanks so much for this!

I have updated the Flatpak a few times since I initially made this thread. The most recent release (v0.6) now uses the MidsReborn 3.7.11.2 archive. Releases can be found at https://github.com/Krogoth2787/mids-flatpak/releases

Shift+Left Click removes slots.

I haven't used it in a long time, but now I can not make it remove slots from a power once it's added. This is the latest update. I can not figure out how we are supposed to quickly and easily remove a slot if you accidentally add one. It means every time I screw up, I have to start the build completely over form scratch. This sucks, please just add a button on each power to remove the slots.

Quick update for the new 3.7.6 version: install dotnetdesktop8 before you update to this version otherwise things break If you had done the Step 5 thing above, once you're running 3.7.6 with dotnetdesktop8 you can remove this line

Heyas! Been on and off the game for years! Recently got a new machine - runs perfectly. Went to add Mids - Error - MidsReborn cannot be installed on systems with .NET core version lower than 6.0 Now, I am extremely computer limited. I have my son do all the things to set up and fix/change. What can I do to address this issue? Sort of need Mids to play the game! Thanks in advance all.

Marine Affinity: Toroidal Bubble in Mids for Controller and Mastermind seem to be using the defender resistance values for the power, so they are incorrect for those two AT's. Corruptor and defender values seem to be correct. I know it says to report bugs in Github, but sorry, I'd rather not sign up for yet another account on yet another website for reporting this. If it is chosen to be ignored for posting it here that's okay, but figured I'd try anyway. Edit: Also it seems to be giving the higher resistance values to fire and cold instead of fire and smashing. This seems to be true for all AT's.

There's a 5 bonus limit on how many of the same set bonuses can be added to a character. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Enhancement_Set_Bonuses#The_Law_of_Fives

I'm trying to plan a build to hit 45% ranged defense cap on a dark/energy blaster and I seem to be maxing out at 41.9% after which adding more sets/bonuses does nothing. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
