I used to be a player in ={AEF{= with like Redwynd and Techninja I can't remember the other names in the group but they'll come to me at some point. I was probably 15 years old back then. Then a few years later I played in another clan (can't remember the name) with Dawg, Jabin, Hamza, Pinky etc. My nick was usually something like "bunny" + some clan tags because I hopped around a lot, or "rawh" when I was very young. Anyways, figured I'd give it a shot in 2025. We played insurgent camp 24/7. Had the pixels memorized. Don't know who's all still around?

I spent the better part of a couple hours getting it to work on gentoo with steam libs, so far, this is bringing up an accurate login screen, so i'm pretty sure i'm going to be in the money soon, once my account gets activated.

`SRT="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime"; ln -sf ../modules "$SRT/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pango/1.6.0/module-files.d/modules"; printf '[Pango]\nModuleFiles=%s\n' "$SRT/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pango/1.6.0/module-files.d/libpango1.0-0.modules" > ./pangorc; FONTCONFIG_FILE="$PWD/fonts-min.conf" PANGO_RC_FILE="$PWD/pangorc" GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE="$SRT/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache" GDK_BACKEND=x11 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SRT/lib/i386-linux-gnu:$SRT/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:$PWD/25Assist Libs" ./25Assist`

 

If you do get it working on Linux, please do post a guide as well. As this seems to become more and more annoying to set up due to the 32bit lib requirements (I.e you need to generally explicitly install these, and/or explicitly allow for their installation).

With that said, the game won't run natively on any modern MacOS device either. That's because (again) this is a 32bit application and Apple stopped supporting that in MacOS Catalina (10.15 in 2019) on their Intel based offerings. And the latest M-series offerings are a different CPU architecture altogether so defintely won't run on there natively.

With that said, you can still do it, but you'll need to jump through a bunch of hoops. See this thread:

I wish I had better news for you in terms of running this on not-on-Windows. Maybe there's better 32bit app support on SteamOS because surely it's designed to work with other olt 32bit games and potentially even some UE2. But I'm pretty sure a lot of that is through a translation layer so may not be entirely useful.

Now where the hell is everybody
