Cosmoteer

What works

Game installs, and runs fine once setup properly (see below).

What does not

This is a .NET game (4.6.2 minimum) and getting it installed correctly was difficult.  Running as 64-bit is possible with workarounds below.

Workarounds

Steps to get .NET installed and running for 64-bit:

1. Set up 64-bit environment and create a new WINE prefix:

    export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.winedotnet
    export WINEARCH=win64
    wineboot --init

These 2 environment variables must be set for any action below.

2. Install .NET 4.7.2 through winetricks:

    winetricks dotnet472

If this fails, attempt to run the installer manually:

    wine64 NDP472-KB4054530-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe

Then you *must* install dotnet472 through winetricks again and complete all the installers (some will say a newer .NET version is already installed, it's OK to just click 'Close' on these).

3. Install Cosmoteer:

    wine64 Cosmoteer 0.15.1a Setup.exe

4. Run Cosmoteer from the installation directory:

    wine64 Cosmoteer.exe

Note that you must have the environment set up from step 1 everytime you wish to run Cosmoteer.  I suggest using a bash script like this one as a launcher:

---

cd "$(dirname "$0")"
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.winedotnet
export WINEARCH=win64
wine64 Cosmoteer.exe

---
