Additional Comments

Used the Retail version to install and I also installed the latest patch (1.9) from here: https://www.cnclabs.com/downlo...

Some problems from the Windows version also directly migrated to Wine. CD must be inserted to play unless you use a patch to fix that.

HowTo / Notes

Network support and animated cursors

Animated cursors is in wine 1.2.2/1.3.5+. the special broadcast networking support is wine 1.5.15+.

You need to have Mac OS X 10.6+, Solaris or linux kernel 3.4rc4 or higher.

And you should be fine. No need to use special version of wine anymore.

Kaane Patch 1.02
by Twain on Monday July 27th 2015, 11:22
I am unable to install patch 1.02 for kanes revange,
using wine version 1.7.44.
I did install tiberium wars and patched it to version 1.09, no problem at all.

patching kanes returns:
Patch not available
(german: "Patch nicht verfügbar")

starting kane works just fine though.
From kanes menu i choose online play -> kane normally downloads the patch itself and installs it.

This does not happen, it simply freezes :(

Anyone with an idea on how to handle this?

I was able to install patch 1.02, kane version.
As i dont have time to retry this atm. this is what i did:

As i said, the downloaded patch did not work, nor did auto download via tiberium wars kane mainmenu.
Solution (for me) was to emulate a virtual window (using wine configuration tool), start Kane, click on multiplayer -> internet play.
It says there is an update to download, ends Kane, downloads the patch, patches the game and is done.

After that, you are free to deactivate the virtual desktop.

This helped me, perhaps it helps some out there too :P

Well I'm not even sure there is actually a bug here. It might be a problem somewhere else in my setup, that's why I'm asking whether somebody managed to make it work with LAN game. Besides I have no comfortable way of actually testing with wine version that would be acceptable for bug report as I use playonlinux and fedora which has heavily patched version of wine so the system wine is probably even less acceptable.
BTW: To be clear, I'm not asking for support with playonlinux here, I'm just asking if someone get it working and how and I'll then try to repeat those steps with my setup.
LAN multiplayer

Did someone manage to get the multiplayer working with wine 1.5.15+? I tried to play it with friend over hamachi but we didn't see each other. We're able to play warcraft 3 over hamachi just fine though.
If anyone managed to get it working could you please post how you did it? thanks.
