There is QEMU but from what I've found its a bit broken unless you get the pi to compile it. I have no idea what its performance would be though. 😄

I'm sorry again for the late response. The website went down for maintenance, and I went to go workout instead. The emulator I was working in was very very underpowered, so I can't attempt to fix it myself from this end.
After an hour, I was finally able to run my script on their version of the RPi, and it didn't work. Did the script work for you? Were you able to get both Wine and Lutris installed with it? I may have to configure it some more.
Edit: After going through the source code for the Doom 3 port that you were using, it's all using OpenGL, while CoH uses DirectX. Also, the Pi can't run x86-64 as we had talked about, and the only reason why Doom 3 is able to run, is that its rendering engine was changed (using that link) to OpenGL. Basically, as far as I can tell (with my abilities on all of this at the moment), we're unable to run CoH on the Pi. If I had one myself, I could spend some time trying to get it all working, but the emulation that's currently available doesn't allow me to (It's all 1-core with 256MB of RAM to give you an example). For now, no, but I'm sure we'd be able to in the future. I'm sorry I couldn't get this figured out myself for you.
No Worries, I appreciate the work though!
Yeah saw the site go down and while I did wait a while to send another response I was just too tired to continue :D . I tried a few other things through Lutris. I had Wizardry 8 copied onto the pi (i had forgotten it was a windows not dos title) and it would give me the same error. I also had lutris log into my GoG account but it wouldn't download the titles I selected. I found you could download different wines through lutris so I grabbed version 5.4 and did get a different error message but ultimately nothing I tried worked.
They're getting closer to a fully optimized Pi 4 Windows for Arm build that has x86 emulation built in. Might have to wait until then.
As for Doom, yeah I figured that was the case as while browsing a few forums about it their was talk of the source code being available so that's why it was possible.

oh. got a command for getting the right one i can try? i am helpless with linux still

yep was quick

Yep. is all good. might not be up much longer. dead tired XD timezones and weird sleeping habits ftw!

i notice whenever i enable dxvk save, then go back to that tab its disabled again so ive rebooted
-
do i need to set up an account with Lutris or will it work without it?
-
Aye, regular Raspian

Did follow a guide and got doom 3 working on the thing, so I thought i'd be a little more ambitious, might be too much so, especially for me.

Just trying to launch CoH on the Pi from Lutris

All i get is
Wine: Bad EXE format for E:\home\pi\coh\Tequila.exe.
All children gone
Exit with returncode 193

As long as you can install Wine and Lutris, you can play CoH. If the script doesn't work, look up how to do it (install Wine and Lutris) for your version 😄
Well I know Wine isn't an issue. we'll see 🙂

Not sure this is going to work on ARM but i'll give it a shot

Since I've been fooling around with one lately and know absolutely nothing about linux other than a few lines i copy and pasted from various websites, what do you think is the likelihood of getting CoH running on the Raspberry Pi. The model I have is the Pi 4B 4Gb version. I run a 32Gb MicroSD and an external drive via USB on it. It is a quad core and currently clocked at 1.8Ghz

Yeah, this thread is a year old but this guy installed Windows 95 on it. 😄
