Linux+Wine results in Error 500

[Aaron]

nullI'm trying to run DCS in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using Wine. I followed the process described here: https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux#getting-it-working-manually. I first tried the Lutris method, but Lutris does absolutely nothing on my machine.

Unfortunately, when I try to log in, I get an error 500 "No saved authorization found." The DCS documentation says that this is caused by an incorrect date/time/timezone, but they're all set correctly in my OS. Maybe Wine isn't syncing correctly?

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how Wine does it.  One thing I know is Windows time base was local, Ubuntu is UTC.  When I had a dual boot setup on my rig (Ubuntu's Grub as bootloader), logging in to Windows after using Linux always caused time shift to UTC.  All I had to do is sync it again. I got tired of this so I my buddy ChatGPT to show me the command line fix for this... not a big issue.

Something tells me that this error 500 would still pop up

Btw. Officialy DCS doesnt support Linux and iOS, only Windows 64.

As oldcrusty mentioned, Linux and windows have different timebases for the clock. I have dual boot and the Windows clock is 2 hours (my timezone with summer time) behind the Linux clock. I always have to sync the Windows clock after using Linux. Not sure you can fix this since I guess that DCS checks location and time and in Linux this will maybe always be different from Windows.

this sets the Linux time scheme to Windows scheme:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

 

to revert back to Linux default, set it to 0

timedatectl set-local-rtc 0 --adjust-system-clock

 

DCS runs fine in Linux if you can use Steam, I use Proton 8 in Steam and it basically works out of the box. I haven't managed to get TiR working yet, which is a show stopper for me.

I have no idea how far VR works in Linux.
