FreeSO On Linux Natively
- Thread starter dotequals
- Start date
While I know this is very niche, I've got FreeSO running on FreeBSD following dotequal's running on Linux guide. If their method is ever integrated into a formal way such as in a package manager or part of FreeSO, it could be made to support FreeBSD as well fairly easily.

Always cool to have more guides for more desktop platforms! If you want to simplify your guide a bit you can remove all of the stuff about the version patcher as the client will do that automatically if it detects it needs to. You can also get a faster FreeSO download from the GitHub releases which shouldn't require a client update the first time you log in.
I've been meaning to update the guide a little.
Hi, I've followed this guide on Manjaro and come up to a problem when patching the TSO files, whenever it goes to patch DBAppServiceClientD.dll, it errors out and I can't figure out how to get past this:
I did have to get the download from an alternative source; the fileplanet archive link is down now but the FreeSO Launcher's github page allowed me to figure out where it changed it's DL location from, but I didn't think this would mess with things too badly given that it's the same source the Windows version uses? It also doesn't run the game if I try to run it from freeso.command, I just get a core dump.
Edit: I managed to get it installed via updating the lutris install script, however now I get a problem where it simply crashes with a segmentation fault whenever I start it:
Okay, last edit. Got it working in the end. Not quite sure how, only things I've done is rolled back drivers after an update kept crashing KDE.
