Ugh I have ONE game that’s 20 years old and does not work on Linux whatsoever. It’s an extremely important game to me because my best friends and I play together. We’re the only people who play it anymore. I can’t live without it, so I’m stuck on Windows for my main game machines.

My other machines? Linux lawl

Even with wine profile and setting Windows version to "emulate"?

It’s a Half Life 1 mod called “The Specialists”.

I'm shocked that doesn't work. Have you tried using Xash3D? What versions of WINE/Proton have you tried?

I have the same issue. I have a 10 year old laptop that I use as well. My solution was to dual boot Linux mint & Win10. Most of the time I use Mint on that computer and load the windows only when playing that game.

Why won't you share which game it is? :)

Kung fu only or see who clicks faster with 5-7?

Hahaha a person of culture.

I’m huge on the Contender. I’m terrible at naked kung fu.

I have the least experience amogus my friend group but sometimes I do a bit of blow while playing… Every time I do, I top the leaderboards. It’s wild. PED.

I played this a lot back in the day online, and it was the absolute jam at LAN parties. Happy to hear people still keep the magic going

Oh heck yeah. My mate has a server with like 200 maps or something ridiculous. All the servers online are dead unfortunately. When they spin up their server and we play, occasionally a random Ukrainian person will pop in hahaha
