Hey all, I'm hoping in a help 'bout this weird thing. I'm running AA very well on an old 'nux platform running latest fedora workstation BUT there is only one issue, just only 1, that key for claiming console up and kicking... simply don't! All the rest is well going, messages, etc. etc. Only console doesn't appear, neither by changing those .inis files. Any help 'bout this thing!

Btw thank you all devs for your work on maintaining this game alive ;-)

With pleasure! Let me start by saying that I am a veteran of "our" AA ;-), I also get by technically with computers, which are a hobby of mine (necessary for work more and more often), with different hardware and OS software (win, nux and nix like), BUT I am NOT a developer (apart from some small bash sh ;-)). In any case, I follow various casts of various professionals in the sector to keep myself informed.
As regards the procedure I used and the platform on which I successfully installed 25assist and subsequently AA, it is this, in order (on quite ordinary hardware):

1) downloaded and installed fedora 42 workstation (kde gui)
2) for system optimizations, I followed some very exhaustive threads on github (I don't know if I can link to one in particular, I hope I'm not violating any rules, and it's this one https://github.com/winterofhell/fedora-42-optimizations)
3) installed Steam for Linux (Proton and various runtimes) via rpm (Flatpak is the same but sandboxed so requires some permissions adjustments)
4) downloaded and installed 25assist AA
5) once the installation is complete, after logging in via 25assist, in the relevant control panel, INSTALL, install the Linux libraries.

This procedure, although slightly different in terms of optimizations, as they are already present, and installation of sandboxed packages via Flatpak, allows me to use successfully 25assist and AA also on fedora based platforms but customized and optimized for the game like Bazzite for example (or atomic versions of fedora like Kinoite).

I hope it is useful for other brothers in arms who by necessity have to use nux and want to have the opportunity to enter the world of old style AA ;-)

Oh, and THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for the suggestion! I was so caught up in useless technicalities as solutions, that I didn't see the elephant in the room ;-))

Thanks again teddy

Have a good life and see you soon in AA

Ciao  :-)

Thanks for the high level instructions on what you did to get it working. I'm on Arch (EndeavourOS) and I'd love to be able to play AA without having to boot into Windows. I've tried once before to get it working but ran into too many issues. I should give it another shot.
