Falcon BMS 4.36 on Linux / WINE (unsupported)
-
That’s great news , so it’s doable at least with some more tinkering.
Thanks alot PotatoPilot.
I hope it’ll run stable once it launches. -
@PotatoPilot Does WINE support DX11? This was a major change between 4.35 and 4.36.
It stops me running BMS in a VM as they only support DX10.1.

@Tiger-0
Yep, it is, 'tho I’d recommend using dxvk (dx 9/10/11 to vulkan wrapper).
It’s damn fast with low CPU overhead. -

@hoover Not sure it’s working perfectly. I’ve had some odd glitches/crashes all the same, but I’m also trying reshade on top of things, so that could be a problem too. Had one where every audio that played began looping indefinitely (sort of an electronic music track after a while), that was fun.

Hi all.
I installed 4.36 yesterday in the same prefix I had 4.35 and for now it’s working well. I haven’t tried much, as I spent the time configuring. But I did the startup training mission and worked well.

Hi all!
I’ve managed to get 4.36 running in linux with WINE 7.7 (latest on arch / artix).
By monitoring the loaded DLLs usingWINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine Falcon\ BMS.exe
I noticed that the NEW AND IMPROVED D3DCompiler_47.dll was being loaded, instead of D3DCompiler_43.dll which 4.35 was using.
Naturally I set that dll to the native version in winecfg, and then I got two new errors: neither the native d3dcompiler_47.dll nor vulkan-1.dll were loading correctly.
To solve that, I used winetricks to install d3dcompiler_47 and vkd3d.
Falcon BMS 4.36 now launches and plays perfectly.Hope this works for some, I’ll try to help if anybody struggles.

To solve that, I used winetricks to install d3dcompiler_47 and vkd3d.
As a follow-up to this post, Falcon BMS seems to prefer d3dx11_43.dll to be the native (windows) version to the built-in (WINE) version.
Therefore, install the windows version of that library with winetricks if you still can’t run BMS in WINE. -

All,
CrossOver 22 just came out and I had given up on running BMS 4.36 on Mac after 4.35 was always working I could not get 4.36 to work with CrossOver 21Now with CrossOver 22 which was just released based on Wine7.7 all is working again and I have again a travel setup to play with when I am on the road on my MacBook running macOS Monterey.
I am sure the Linux version of this CrossOver version will work fine too!
So Happy again!

Hi All,
I am trying to install BMS 4.37 on a VM with Ubuntu 22.04. And i am a windows user…so my chance are close to 2% I read some post and get some very usefull info but still fight … i am arrived to the point i launch the exe (Launcher) and i get the screen with the Option (Launch, Configuration etc etc).
When i push Launch , blankscreen…with falcon mouse icon and stop. With dump too. So a crash.
- ubuntu 22.04
- Wine installed (version 8.0 rc2)
- winetricks installed
- with winetricks DLL installed are: D3DCOMPILER_47.dll, .NET 4.6 , i tried even 4.8 but is not possible because with bug on current version of wine.
I suppose i am wrong in some step with winetricks because i don’t know exactly which DLL i need to load. Need help to increase my chance.
Thanks! Gundam
