Hi guys,
I am on linux and I tried to install the additional content.
I have an iso (windows) dune 2000.
It doesnt work, how can i make it work?
Do i need a linux version of the iso?
Can i put the video in a folder? where?
Thanks for your answer
Instalation of content
Re: Instalation of content
There are two common problems with installing the CD content.
For the second, you can try manually mounting the iso at /media/openra, /media/<your username>/openra, or /mnt/openra, which the game is hardcoded to specifically check.
- OpenRA only supports the English language CDs
- Some image mounting tools on Linux do not expose the metadata that OpenRA/mono use to detect CDs (which relies on the OS instead of scanning your filesystem)

Re: Instalation of content
The Flatpak sandbox blocks a lot of external access (for example the cross-mod switching), so it is quite likely that is also blocking the CD access yes.
Try remounting or symlinking to /media/aeon/openra before trying anything different. This may be enough to make it work.

I tried the symlink without success
Re: Instalation of content
I just tested this myself, and confirmed that the Flatpak sandbox seems to be blocking the CD/iso access.
The quickest solution will be to download and run the AppImage release for D2k from the website - use this to install the CD assets, then copy ~/.openra/Content/d2k/ to ~/.var/app/net.openra.OpenRA/.openra/Content/d2k/ for the Flatpak version to use.
