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. 😄
QEMU on the Pi? I use KVM + QEMU and it works wonderfully on x86-64, but I don't know how it performs on the Pi, giving the architectural difference with how things are processed, but I'm sure that over time It'll get better! I know it's probably not an issue for something like Power9, which is an ARM based CPU that's extremely good. It's equal to Ryzen server / Intel server + desktop stations, but quite expensive, and all American made; Check it out sometime!

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 😄 . 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.
Ooooh! I'll have to check that out for myself 😄 (Pi 4 Windows ARM)
I hope you're able to get something running on it, and that it doesn't give you too much trouble! Don't give up on Linux / using Linux, and if you have to use a virtual-machine to play games (or dual boot), do it 😄 I tinker enough with everything that I have, so I'm more willing to waste away hundreds of hours to make something run. Case in point, I spent an entire week (almost 2) JUST to get macOS running perfectly. I then tried to install it directly onto my SSD, which was another issue. Days later I got it fully installed, only to finally realize that my Wi-Fi USB that worked in the VM, doesn't actually have support, and I'd have to use Ethernet to actually USE the OS. I just wanted to test it out, and 2 weeks of doing that let me fully figure out what I wanted and allowed me to use it without having to install it.
So, if you do have to resort to going back to Windows to play some games, don't fret it! I know for a fact that CoH (and many other games) run on Linux with relative ease, but there are some games that don't. On an x86-64 bit CPU architecture, you'll be able to do it. Just keep on testing out Linux!

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

yep was quick
The current emulation is abhorrently slow, so I may not be able to do this quickly for you. The error says that you're trying to run a 64-bit program on the 32-bit version of Wine, which I've never had to deal with before as I always run 64-bit stuff. I'll have to check it out and work on it

Yep. is all good. might not be up much longer. dead tired XD timezones and weird sleeping habits ftw!
Hahaha that's okay, sleep well! It's 2:42PM here for me xD I'll see what I can do for you! Can you install and run neofetch in the terminal for me, please?
sudo apt install neofetch -y && neofetchThat should work real fast

Sorry for the late response, the website didn't notify me. Everything seems to be set fine, but I enable D9VK and DXVK, but I don't know if the Pi supports it. I currently have Raspbian running in an emulator, so I will see what I can do from my end and tell you what we'll need to do. I presume your "Game options" executable is set to Tequila.exe, yeah?
-
Just now, kanga2 said:
do i need to set up an account with Lutris or will it work without it?
It will work without it. Can you show me what your Runner Options are set to, please?
-
Just now, kanga2 said:
Aye, regular Raspian
Alrighty I'm downloading both just in case, but since Doom 3 works on it, CoH should be no problem
-
Just now, kanga2 said:
Are you using NOOBS or Raspbian? I'm presuming Raspbian if you've followed this guide, that way I can make sure I test it on the right OS

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.
Do you have a link to the guide for Doom 3? I'm curious if I can learn something through it. I'm downloading NOOBS real quick to see if I can emulate it through KVM

Just trying to launch CoH on the Pi from Lutris
Ooooh I'm curious if it's the architectural difference then, as the Pi is ARM based, and CoH is x86-64 based, and so you'd have to emulate x86-64 on an ARM CPU, which can be quite intensive for said CPU

All i get is
Wine: Bad EXE format for E:\home\pi\coh\Tequila.exe.
All children gone
Exit with returncode 193
What're you doing to cause that? I haven't had that happen at all on any of my systems, so I'm curious haha.
Did you run the script? If so, can you tell me what the output from the terminal was?
-
Just now, kanga2 said:
Well I know Wine isn't an issue. we'll see 🙂
Next step is Lutris then! 😄
-
Just now, kanga2 said:
Not sure this is going to work on ARM but i'll give it a shot
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 😄

I'll try to translate for RPM-based distros like Fedora once you're done.
I've got it done now for Fedora 30 / 31 😄

Cool!
I'll try to translate for RPM-based distros like Fedora once you're done.
(I'm stuck working from home for a while, and one of my jobs is to practice shell scripting. I think this qualifies!)
I can add in Fedora 30/31 support real fast if you'd like! It'd just take a little longer to thoroughly test, because I spin up VM's and re-run the script every time to make sure nothing went wrong. I could honestly add support for openSUSE and Arch as well, but for I keep debating on it. What do you think?

Let us know if you have any luck getting CoH running on the Raspberry Pi. You might have to use qemm to emulate an x86 CPU, since rpi uses an ARM SOC.
AFAIK, qemm is the most efficient way to emulate an x86 on ARM.
Someone more capable than I might be able to take the source code and recompile the client for ARM. That would almost certainly let the Pi run CoH, it has done well with other games, at least on the 4GB Pi 4.
Personally, I use PlayOnLinux to run CoH on Fedora 31, and it works quite well.
That's wonderful to know! I'll have to look into that personally, as I know it HAS the specs to run it, while the only issue may be the onboard GPU.
I'm currently finalizing a script I've worked on for a few hours that just checks which version people are using (for Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS") and sets them up with Wine and Lutris.

This was great, everything worked and it launched. However, now that I have closed it, how do I get it back?
Lutris or CoH? You just need to re-launch Lutris, then click on CoH and launch it; You can exit out of the Lutris launcher, and also exit out of Tequila once the game is loading 😄 If you are on Gnome, you can just press the Windows (Super) key to search, and just type Lutris and press enter.
I'm glad that it helped you out!

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
I've checked out the specs of the model you currently have, and compared it to the (old) requirements that I could find for CoH/V. The RPi 4B 4GB SHOULD be able to run it. The CPU is good enough, but I'm unsure about the on-board GPU of the RPi 4B. NOOBS (the version of Debian that they use), is, well, Debian. That alone should enable you to be able to install Wine and Lutris.
I'd love to get my own RPi as I've wanted one for years now, and this would be a good (and fun) experiment to try!
Let me know how it works / runs for you!

Your tutorial is great. The only reason I used another is you are using a later build and other sites offered easy copy options for the kernel I'm using. I think a video would be a great idea and you could link to the WineHQ and Lutris sites (they have info for other distributions too) and possibly the site I used.
Ah, apologies if you didn't notice them, but I had already linked to both Lutris and Wines' download pages for specific distributions haha.
Also, for your mention of being unfamiliar with Wine + Lutris; Lutris is a simplified program launcher, and Wine is the collection of tools that are required to run games.
There really shouldn't be any issue with the Kernel, as you can copy + paste the commands I had listed, and it will download the latest versions for whatever build you're using, but that's okay! In the end, I am happy you got it working 😄
Yeah, I downloaded my patches as well with no issues, and honestly never had any problems with them!
I'm sorry for the late responses, the website doesn't notify me quickly when I get one.

Thanks for your post it helped a lot. I read your post and the info at WineHQ and Lutris but followed the steps in another post because it was more directed at Linux Mint 19.3 (which I use) and there seemed to be another step involved.
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-wine-on-ubuntu-linux-mint-desktop/
i only had a few minor issues:
-I had never used Lutris before so it took a bit to find the right setting in the left panel- something about how it sees Wine. Once i had that figured out Tequila began working.
-Since I had all the Paragonchat files I planned to use the same folder but Tequila didn't like that so did a clean install.
-As Tequila finished up it complained that Paragonchat.exe was missing. i just copied the file from my other folder and Tequila finished the install. (I have passed this point on in another forum post).
So I am running an Intel i5-64, Nvidia Geforce 750ti, 8g ram, Linux Mint 19.3. i used Wine 5 stable and the latest Lutris.
I load from Lutris and it starts a bit slow then Tequila tells me it is patched. Once the launcher is up the game loads fast and is as smooth and fun as when I played on Windows 7 a few weeks ago.
It's good to be home!That's very strange, as our versions are built on the same build (Ubuntu derivative, which is also a fork off of Debian), so you can just follow along in this guide and it will work just as well! I'm sorry you had so many issues, but I am glad they're resolved! Let me know if you have any more issues!
I was thinking about creating a video where I go through this process again, but let me know what you think! This works on (nearly) all flavors of Linux. The steps I've provided will work on Debian (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kubuntu, Lubuntu), while Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, and the others may need some extra work. -

No change concerning https, regardless which Wine/Proton version I'm using. I think it's a problem of a quirky Wine installation. When I have time I may try to deinstall everything Wine-related and reinstall it. Other players had issues with those non-shown patches, too. Maybe graphics settings.
Thanks for your help ! 🙂
Apologies for not responding fast enough! I'm so busy lately, that I don't have a chance to relax and check this. Aaaah I'm curious if Windows users also have those issues, and you're welcome! I hope it all works out in the end :D

I have two OS' on the same PC, Win 7 and Linux.
So I can compare the performance of both. And the problem with the beta manifest I have only with Wine. But maybe I shall try Proton...
Btw. FPS are not the problem at all but in MAG iTrial I didn't see some of the storm patches created by Tyrant. This didn't happen in Windows so far.
That's quite strange that those patches didn't appear, maybe it was a graphical setting? Do note that Proton is also Wine, just Valves version of it, so let me know how it goes for you!

Indeed, I have. Not a big one, though. How do I get Tequila to be able to access encrypted websites ? (Though I guess it's more something missing in Wine...)
The beta client manifest is here: https://manifest.cohhc.gg/testing.xml
Tequila error message:
Manifest download error for https://manifest.cohhc.gg/testing.xml
Error: SecureChannelFailure (The authentication or decryption has failed.)You're trying to access the Pineapple server, right? If so, it should just work automatically. I haven't tested it myself, but I just presumed so.
That does seem like an issue with Wine, though. I'll have to try it out sometime myself and see if I can figure it out. Good luck! Sorry for the late responses, as I've been quite busy lately haha
I'm not THE best when it comes to WINE or Lutris, but I know enough to set things up. I'm curious, though. De-tick D9VK and use DXVK, and see if that improves your loadtimes + fps for you. You can check the fps by typing /showfps 1 in the chat box.
