Hello all,
I'm new here and trying to install p99 on my POP_OS system. (hardware: a Razer Blade 15 2018 with an older 24" external 60hz monitor) I've been running POP_OS 20.04 on this machine for several months with very few problems and usually install game through Steam. The few problems I had were more due to my newness to this distro than probs with the machine. (I used to use Manjaro)
My p99 install issues
-------------------------------
1. Tried using Lutris to install at first
a. The p99 install script crashes(made ~4mo. ago last edited ~4 days ago) It has one comment from 1 month ago that mentions the exact issue I ad with it.
b. The script crashes when trying to access the p99 files v53 with a permissions error message.
2. I next tried using PlayonLinux front end wrapper to install it.
a. Under a 32bit environment with default, 2.0, or 2.1 staging the install starts, but crashes/locksup
b. I tried a 64bit environment, just to see, and it was worse. I tried it even though I understand a 32bit win7 environment is prefered for p99, but I was taking stabs in the dark at this point.
3. For BOTH methods I made sure to install MS core fonts, d3dx and d3dx_43 files.
I am running out of ideas and hope their is a fellow "linux nerd" around with more skills than me to provide some options for me.
In the meantime, I am going to try various wine staging versions in the 32bit environment and see if that helps get me through the install using PlayonLinux. If anyone knows of a wine staging version that has worked for them, please let me know as there are A LOT of versions....hehehe
I have been a watcher of various Twitch and Youtuber people for P99 and love the content. I simply can not stand EQLive anymore and feel very grateful for all the good work this community has done. I hope to become a part of it soon and contribute what I can.
Peace out.
