BattleTech

What works

Basic Gameplay

What does not

The main menu is supposed to have an animated background: The native Linux version does. I only see a black screen. This does not impact program run-ability
My game does not quit properly. I have to send the kill command in order to get it to close.

Workarounds

Due to bug 45074 I had to use winetricks to install dotnet452 before the installer would complete, otherwise I got the error mentioned in the bug report

I had to install the CCCP codecs pack, otherwise the intro cutscene wouldn't play and the main menu wouldn't show<\p>

As mentioned in previous compatibility reports, I had to add the -force-opengl flag to the game launcher to play. I elected -force-opengl instead of -force-driver-type-warp because otherwise it wouldn't run on the dedicated GPU in my laptop

What was not tested

Multiplayer, Career, Campaign

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
• Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

I was not able to enter a game with my Intel GPU. Possibly this is because I wasn't patient enough to let it finish loading.

I have prepared a Lutris installer for this version, which automates the mentioned workarounds. Check it out here
