How to run Freelancer on Linux using Virtualbox

Hello.

If you're using VirtualBox for gaming then you have absolutely no clue how virtual machines work.

Bye.

Well, La Dee Da for you. Some of us use it for that and if you don't like it, Bite me. No toxic whining, thank you. I have enough attitude of my own.

From my personal point of view, it varies from system to system, depending on the type of distro you're currently operating from. Nevertheless, i myself was successfully able to emulate Discovery through the wine on the Linux Ubuntu 14.04 using this step-by-step as an example for applying .dll workarounds. Works just fine and stable so far, without heavy lagging. Best regards, if you consider this endeavour worth trying (it really is).

With multiplayer working? I fiddled with Wine for several weeks trying to get it working to no avail.

Here's the thing: you'll need a properly configured .dll list to get it worked as it should. Looks something like this:

atl90 (native, builtin)
csript.exe (native, builtin)
d3dx11_43 (native)
d3dx11_42 (native)
d3dx9_24 (native, builtin)

Yes, thank you. I put this on our forums as well.. I desperately want to run at least a test server in Linux and this may help a ton. I have failed at doing so because of the lack of .dll's. If this works well. I will be looking into moving our server over to Linux in the future. For now we are on a VM in Linux SUSE. Winblows just, well, you know..lol

Fantastic, thanks. Will definitely try it out as soon as I have time.

I also got FL running in a VM which means I'm gonna get more involved (beyond random sh*tposting).

Have you been converted then?

I wasn't making a comment about you converting to VirtualBox per se; instead your first message implied (at least to me) that gaming in any virtual machine was stupid. But whatever.
