Does anyone know if OT will run on Linux under Wine?

OT will only run on a Windows platform, so if you are able to run Windows on your Linux machine, then it should work.

I might try it. WINE (Wine Is Not Emulation) is a windows compatibility layer for Linux. It might work. I will eventually try it. I was hoping someone else had. Thanks, Barry

It would need a full Windows environment with folder structures, Windows processes & programs like Microsft .NET, Microsoft VB, Microsft J#, etc. I'm sure it would work on a Windows emulator like you said, but not sure about Wine. It's possible it could work, but my guess is that it probably would not.

WINE supports games, lots of normal windows programs, for close to 20 years. Not qquite as good for 64 bit as for 32, apparently some dlls not available
