So as been said, tested on Arch Linux with wine staging 6.16: works fine, aside of odd FPS drops every ~15 seconds (see screenshot for FPS graph and another for (h)top output) everything went smooth -- I had wine mono and gecko installed and launched DLauncher without issue but used it only for switching profiles. Freelancer.exe launched without issue as expected. Considering a single core double thread APU (AMD A4-4300M) I utilise - most likely hardware to blame.
In winetricks had installed the following packages: amstream, d3dx9_24 > d3dx9_43 (not sure if necessary, but guide on WineHQ had them listed), d3dx9, devenum, directplay (required for multiplayer, as far as I know), dotnet40, mfc42, msacm32, quartz_feb10.
^ Issue was in the prefix version's and lack of CPU. On older prefix cpu was not that bloated so lesser drops.
The server IP has been updated to 95.217.88.9:2302, thus replace -s163.172.117.137:2302 to -s95.217.88.9:2302.
p.s. Lutris script was failing (no_file_provided error) the installation after the discovery itself been installed. Didn't find the reason yet, but if someone will - please share/submit the fix.
p.s.s. Guess its worth to make my own guide?
Sorry for the late response, the Lutris script is being worked on now. There was a recent bug in Lutris preventing the installation of Freelancer altogether. Going to be taking another shot at getting everything working again, easy to test.
