Here is what i have done so far:

Installed CC Generals via 'Install non-listed program' link.

The installaion completes, but Direct X (version 8.1 or higher) is not found. Despite me:

  1. 1 Installing 8.1 manually (came with CC)
  2. 2 Installing 9c manually (came with CC)
  3. 3 Running POL_Install_dxfullsetup
  4. 4 Running POL_Install_directx9 (This one obviously unsuccessfully, since MS has changed the link)
  5. 5 Manually downloading https://web.archive.org/web/20180619044052if_/http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E/1/EE17FF74-6C45-4575-9CF4-7FC2597ACD18/directx_feb2010_redist.exe and installing it.
  6. 6 Installing directx_feb2010_redist.exe which i had lying around in my archive
  7. 7 Running POL_Install d3dx10
  8. 8 Running POL_Install d3dx11

The funny part is that i remember a long time ago installing everything just fine. But now i am running into a brick wall.

The output of the debug output from the last install and launch attempt (using #3 from above):

Ok, the major problem was the two files in the game directory, both are named 'dbghelp.dll', find and delete them, the game will work ok after you setup with the installation of dx9.

The problem remains that the game messes up the resolution of the screen (not restoring it back), however, i can deal with this.

And now, let me explain to you how i've fixed the game messing up my resolution issue. I've loaded the ARandR and have selected to save the script of my current screen configuration. I have then saved the shortcut of the game start on the desktop to see the command to start it. I have finally combined two things. In my case the script looks like:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Generals" %F
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output VGA-1 --off

It's that simple. You can then start the game even from your normal game menu. In order to do that, you take the .desktop from ~/Desktop and place it in ~/.local/share/applications, edit it to change the start up from the regular playonlinux command to the script file (whereever you have it. And make sure to put Category=Game; in there so that it is categorised accordingly.

In my case the resulting file looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Generals
Comment=PlayOnLinux
Type=Application
Exec=/home/va/bin/Generals.sh
Icon=/home/va/.PlayOnLinux//icones/full_size/Generals
Name[fr_FR]=Generals
StartupWMClass=generals.exe
Categories=Game;

Enjoy detecting nuclear launches!

It works for me, it's weird.
