Hi, just joined, and wanted to say to any Linux users, that HL works perfectly on Wine 3.0 (last stable version as of June 16th 2018) , making sure you have installed anything you might need to run Steam.
I usually manage several Wine versions through PlayOnLinux, but after installing HL in the same 3.0 virtual drive I have my Steam (for those few games I own that aren't for Linux), the program works awesomely well (been using it for hours with no glitches or crashes). Anyway, just wanted to share that. Sorry if I made any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my main language. |

You overestimate both my importance and my ability, EightBitz. I am but a lowly peon toiling away in the data file mines.

Is Colen still the primary developer of the application?

Ah. ^_^ Good to know so that I don't ping Colen's address when I run into issues.
One of these days, I'll get back to Planet Mercenary... |

I had actually Just come here to see if it was possible to run Hero Lab on Linux. I want to learn Linux, and bought a laptop for that express purpose. The more I can rely on it, instead of my windows machine, the more I can use it to learn with. Thanks for this post!
Now to figure out what I need to use, to run steam... http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/t...rothersSig.jpg |

I've been running it on Ubuntu 18.04 for several months without problems. The app and data sets update fine. You'll need to install Wine since HL is a Windows app. I didn't have to do anything special to get it working, just ran the installer.
I had problems with Mint 18 not being able to connect to the LoneWolf website but I'm sure it was something I didn't have set up right within either Mint or Wine. |
