Linux THUGpro wont start installing.

[Chatter]

Hello community,

My friend (on Linux) recently downloaded THUG2 and THUGpro, and he managed to get THUG2 working just fine.
However when he tries to install thugpro it doesnt open the installation, nothing happend. He tried running the program with Wine.

Hopefully anyone of you could help us out so I can play with him, thanks in advance for the help.

Don't you see any warning when you try to run it? Maybe running as administrator (if that exists in Linux) ?

[sk8ace]

You should send him your installed thugpro folder. Then he can try to run it instead of installing it.

That's an interesting solution. I'm going to try it. I'm uploading it for him so we can test when he's home

''its an exe file on a linux so it wont work'' (at least not this)

this is what my friend said. we have no luck yet.

[16:55:51] Joris van Dijk: Does it come up with anything? Can you right click the EXE (or the installer for that matter) and check properties? maybe administrator or compatibility modes?
[16:56:32] Arvo K: i could try, but i dont know that. it just pretends to start up the file, but it just disappears after like 5 seconds


More conversation between us about the problem that might give some insight.

You can't just run an exe on Linux. He needs to use Wine or something like it.

There was never an official Linux release of thug2 so you have to use workarounds.

[Chatter]

He does use Wine. It did work for the original Thug2 as I said before, there's just no luck at all for thugpro.

[ShutMeUp!]

(So your name is Joris, eh?)

[Chatter]

Yeah, I don't mind using my real name online I just removed my friends last name in case he wouldnt like me putting it.

[ShutMeUp!]

I don't even know what's the deal with last names, lol
Either way, good luck to both of you with that! ;P

Can't help cuz im full Windows, no Linux nor Mac here. :l

[sk8ace]

I'll see if I can get something working on mine. Never tried before.

[Chatter]

Good luck sk8ace!

[ShutMeUp!]

I wish ya luck as well! I actually wanna see if this 2 are fun playing THUGPro with.
Unless it turns out they don't know what behaviour is.
Other than that, they're welcome with open arms to "my" skype group! ;3

[Chatter]
