im using win7 x64, i was missing client folder and file, so i created folder with file in it
now after i accept tsot and choose client to run, nothing happens, popup from harman never appears...
windows update and c++ are up to date
anyone has any clues?
I have problems with the new version of the game . It freezes very often and I don't seem to have a menu on the main window .
Am unsure from description, did you properly install entire client? Because it is not enough to just have 1 file and 1 folder. When you click play does it still ask if you want to run the TSO application because you can browse for where the client file was installed, especially if you created your own folder it may nto be pointing in the right direction. When I was trying out the testclient sometimes I had to manually pick the app so I ran the correct version.Originally Posted by ss90
A Linux users perspective.
At first, I was disheartened, but after some thought I realised that windows does not care if you do not activate it, it will display the watermark, and nag, and not allow desktop customisations.. I can live with that.
I downloaded the latest windows 2020 home, 5.8 gigabytes later I had an ISO. From that I made a virtual machine using virt-manager giving the minimum requirements of 4G ram, 2 cores and 40G disk. Installed windows to the VM, turning off all the helpful stuff. It wanted a microsoft account, which I had. After install was complete, I disconnected the microsoft account by making a local login for windows. Using edge, went to the TSO site and logged in with the uplay account, which took me to the download button. Downloaded the app, there may have been a warning but I ignored it. Ran the app, hmm nothing.. Then I remebered.. the web browser does all the connections work, and the client uses it, so the browser is logged in, the play button is pressed and a short time later the client starts. The browser can be minimised, but not closed.
Fantastic, it was working.
I then cloned the VM, so now I had 2 exactly the same.
The second is used to access another server, with a legacy login that wont transfer, it only makes a new account..
On the secon VM I use firefox and do the same as the first, only for the second server character.
Now, i can put each VM on a separate desktop and tab between them.
Thats has been my wasted 5 hours of getting it working for a non windows user.
I imagine a windows person could used virtual box and do the same thing.
Thanks for your efforts. I just keep on wondering one thing. Is it really that hard/too expensive to make an app image or QT program for us Linux users? I have seen much smaller projects with tighter budgets that are able to do that.
Not everybody can run a VM on their machine. And not all are comfy running Wine/PlayonLinux (security reasons at least in Wine, not sure if PlayonLinux sandboxes).
Where?

Are you saying that you manually created the folder? If so then nobody advised you to do that, delete the folder and follow the suggestions at the following:-

has anyone actually got the game operational since BB_traffers additional notes on the announcement page? since it states that a file is missing from the installation i want to know if that has actually been added to the installation so that if i try to install it now that i won't have to follow the additional steps identified which i really dont feel confident about doing.
Please note that they do not support 32-bit Operating Systems, it will not be added until an update in January 2021. So thats great for those guys then.
Think this should have been made very clear before now.
