Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

If you have Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, the standalone expansion to the original game, make sure to download the community-run Forged Alliance Forever (FAF) client.

A lot of quality of life changes, optimizations, better network code, mod support, custom maps released almost daily by the community, and it's still actively played online even after twelve years.

All it needs is a copy of the game to verify, and it goes regularly on sale on Steam.

I like to play against the cheating AIx with one of my friends, and it never seems to get old.

Don't forget the Co-op variants of the old single player campaign maps FAF added.

How does one do that on Linux ?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 4 months ago

I've got it working on Linux but I'll have to check to see what I did.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

Presumably it does run through Wine.

[–] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I remember reading a thread about this on the FaF forums and I think one of the FaF clients does run on Linux. I think this is the current method of choice, but there are multiple ways to get it working and I probably used something else years ago, so its definitely doable.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure, I've only ever run this on Windows.

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 4 months ago

Yes via Wine/Proton it should work.
