hi!

the default parameter : "%s" is the wrong one . I was told at one point what it was now I can’t remember.

I remember I had been told this by somebody on the Downlord-FAF team and it was something like "%w" (this isn’t it though, I tried) and it worked amazingly well it just linked to the game.

but right now I can’t remember what the args were.

I’m using lutris because that works now on ubuntu 18 whereas wine doesn’t. it uses wine all the same but it’s own wineprefix & configuration that for some reason just works.

here’s my current setup :

Game Location : /home/t/.local/share/lutris/runners/winesteam/prefix64/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

command line for executable : "%s"

Execution directory : "/opt/downlords-faf-client-0.9.0-beta-rc.3"

(which is apparently the default since I am running faf after cd’ing to this directory)

the error I get is the following which doesn’t really add up : screenshot from 2018-10-06 12-27-34

i allowed the executing of the exe btw

I’ve tried setting the Execution directory : to /

but in that situation FAF has a progress bar that instantly goes away with nothing happening and no error message so I think it’s worse.
