FYI, you can run Twisted Insurrection on Linux with a bit of preparation, for those interested. It is mostly based on this guide: Ppmforums.com
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine winetricks qt4wine
mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak # Only needed if you have run Wine before
WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot
winetricks dotnet20 dotnet40 dotnet45 dotnet # This will take a while. Click through the installers. .NET is a large framework, needed for the TI launcher.
winecfg
Now the Wine Config GUI should show up.
- Go to Applications tab, set Windows Version to XP.
- Go to Libraries, add ddraw, set to "Native, then Builtin"
Now download the XNA 4.0 MSI file from MS: Microsoft.com
cd ~/Downloads
wine msiexec /i xnafx40_redist.msi
Now click through any GUI.
The final step, reduce your desktop resolution if you are running a 2K monitor. Might also be needed for 1080P monitors.
Now you can extract the TwistedInsurrection ZIP file and double click on TwistedInsurrection.exe.
Go to settings. Set the renderer to TS-DDraw. Enable compat fix. Enable Windowed Mode and Borderless Windowed mode. Set in-game resolution to match your screen resolution. Recommended to set your screen resolution to 1280x1024 or simmilar, and set in-game resolution to match this.
It will now run beatifully!
