or use comand in Terminal:

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

The game needs DirectPlay 8. You Can use workaround via Winetricks.

Network Ports needed: 34567 & 23458

Dedicated Server/Host Game

One important point is DirectX still required in the machine. The game doesn't start graphics and sounds but it uses the DirectPlay API to deal with network stuff.

This game uses the TCP/IP port number 23458 to communicate, so if you want to configure your firewall to host a match you can allow this port number.

GameSpy

GameSpy servers are down but not needed for game. Also installation of GameSpy is not required to joining a server or playing the game off or online!
