Connecting to server without W3D?

[Crazyivan]

This might seem like an odd request but i am sick of windows and am using Linux. C&C renegade runs great under linux using WINE. but W3D crashes. Is there any other way to connect to the server without the launcher as i'd love to continue playing but i can't bare to go near Windows anymore.

Thanks

Fun fact - we're looking into a new UI framework for the launcher that will make it able to run on Linux natively, alongside other long overdue improvements.

 

So watch this space - I'll be wanting beta testers at some point!

 

(Specifically Avalonia in place of WPF)

That would be amazing! Especially since Renegade works very well in linux.

I'm guessing for now though there is no temp work around so i can play?

Try using Asterisk (found in our downloads section). It is pure vb-dotnet, which I'm guessing will work fine on Linux, although I have not tested it. You will have to add the connection information manually to set up a profile, but it is easy to use once that is done.

Let me know how it turns out.

There was a day last week that W3D hub was not showing the server listings.

I was able to use the InterimApex game application itself and go onto Multiplayer Internet from there.
