Game works pretty well on Linux using Wine. Game can crash sometimes; Those crashes seem to be related to the game itself not Wine/Linux

I was not able to get this game to be played using Gallium Nine CSMT. At least it works with WineD3D/Mesa3D/RadeonSI

Update #1 - December-07-2016: This branch was deleted on Wednesday December 7th, 2016. Thoses patches are supposed to be pushed on official Mesa 3D Repo soon

Use the following command to clone the current Git Repo (CSMT branch) maintained by iXit Team for their tests

git clone -b csmt https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D.git Mesa-3D_iXit_CSMT_$(date -I)

Mesa-3D_iXit_CSMT_$(date -I) is just a folder. You can replace its name by whatever you want.

As of November 25th, 2016 there are 97 patches for Gallium Nine/CMST in the current branch CMST

Today I had a look on Steam Discussions pages for Hounds The Last Hope. I got angry when I read the reply from this gamer on this thread. Here is his reply

Maybe 10 months ago those instructions worked.... now they don't or maybe it does for your distro. If someone one is on Arch.. I bet your instructions would be garbage ... like they were for me because nobody is going to that game to work without appplying wine overrides if using Arch on an updated system. So the instructions are only half what is needed. I'll post the new instructions for how I finally got the came to start for anyone wanting to install on Arch or another distro if their interested

I tried to remain relax when I read this. I replied trying to keep relax. Believe me I hate to receive replies like this one. From my own perspective, this is typicaly the kind of Stupid Arch user. So you know Arch, don't you? Yeah this is a real interesting Linux Distro. Unfortunately as any Linux Distro, there are stupid users like this mother fucking one, like in any Linux community.

Let me explain. For a few users in this community, they believe that their Linux Distro is the Best of the bests. You know what? Go fuck yourself!

Arch is a Linux Distro like any one. I maintain a Youtube channel. How many times I received private messages or comments from gamers like this one on my own videos saying that there are better than me and so. on?

90% of those gamers come from Arch and are real noobs. When I asked them "Will you use Play On Linux"?, I am never surprised to know that they always say YES. So they are noobs and only noobs. If you are a real Wine-Hacker then you don't use PlayOnLinux. You use winetricks. Youtubers today show how they install games on Linux through wine using POL so their community can do it. That really sucks! How do you want to know how linux really works if you use a tool like this one.

Today I am retired from porting games on Linux because I received too much haters and bad comments on my own youtube channel. And I don't really mind to be honest on this point! I am not a Wine contributor anymore.

FYI stupid noob I maintain my own Linux version based on recent stuff (Kernel, Xorg, Mesa-3D and so on...) and I don't think my own instructions are garbage. I think that your own experience on Arch is a real garbage!

Oh wait a minute! You don't believe me! Please have a look on of on my recent videos as shown below

Please take a look of the 10 first second! My software stuff and my harware specs are shown. Unless you are not able to read it is simple written that my Linux version is more recent that what you think. FYI have a look on the bottom left and corner of the video while I am playing. This is Wine-Staging 1.9.22. And I am using Gallium Nine. So my intructions to play HTLH are correct.

Why I am laughing about this message? Please re-read those words

because nobody is going to that game to work without appplying wine overrides if using Arch

Gotcha! This is a non-sense! A real non-sense! You wrote those words. They are yours, meaning that you are a real stupid n00b to port games on Linux. Any Wine-Expert will laungh as I am doing righ now while reading your message.

Are you aware of your own words? This is a real shame!!!! Well I hope that all Noobs from Arch community are not like this one! If this is the case then this is a real shame for Arch community though.

Real linux subscribers I have are now friends of mine on Steam. They know my own experience with Wine. They know that I am ready to help when required. But as I told them I am retired from porting games on Linux now. But they can ask for any help whenever they want. Because they are friends of mine I am not sharing this private list here.

As I wrote, I am retired of porting Windows games on Linux. There is a new generation of Youtubers to do that now. A new Youtubers generation with their POL, their recommendations. I am laughing too here :P . Sorry!

I have fun on playing Hound The Last Hope on Linux now. I like playing this game. No time to waste with Arch user like this one! N00b :P. I will not let a N00b like you telling me how to port my favorite game on Linux! I will not let you to come here on Steam Discussion to tell me how to port this game! As I am used to say "Go fuck yourself bastard!"

Nous fûmes enchainés et trainés vers le Grand Tribunal pour connaître enfin le verdict. Regroupés dans le parloir, je jetais un regard rapide vers mes frères d'armes. Nous avions peu mangé cers derniers jours, pour ainsi dire quasiment rien.

Le gondolier ouvra la grande porte. Les 14 chefs entrèrent, prenant place sur la grande place au-dessus du parloir. Ce dernier acte devait se jouer à huis-clos. BögohSian -- Président de la séance des 14 chefs -- prit se leva, émunéra les chefs d'accusation.

Je ne l'écoutai pas. Je les connaissais déjà tous (...) Ce n'était que mensonge et mensonge!

Il eut toute mon attention quand il prononçat ces quelques mots. Il a été décidé.. Il eut ces quelques mots du moins ce discour

Il a été décidé -- soupir -- et ceci à l'unanimité que les 8 chevaliers de la Grande Discorde

• Yümen de Clivezêrsan
• Chelli Di Barouseaf
• Khurân Fehlazisouenf
• Hoghmodo De Tunis
• Cabolije De Falgote
• Skaa De Moaskovitch
• Lindra de Fallounichën
• Bendra de Lisso

ont été reconnus coupables des crimes qui leurs sont reprochés -- soupir --. Dans le respect des règles qui intruisent ce tribunal, Nous les 14 chefs garant de l'Ordre Impérial vont condamnons à mourir. -- soupir --. Selon les coutumes de notre peuple, les mécrants que vous êtes subirez le même sort que votre Grante prêtresse, à savoir la peine de mort. Vous serez guillotinés dans 34 journées.

Rendus responsables des crimes qui vous sont reprochés, le tribunal espère que dans la durée qui vous mènera vers votre mort vous trouviez le temps de vous repentir.

Gondoliers. Menez ces hommes vers leurs cellules!

Les 14 chefs se levèrent, rassemblèrent leurs affaires et pressèrent le pas pour quitter le Grand Tribunal. Dans un ultime sursaut, je lançais ces quelques mots à BögohSian

Et concernant nos accompagnons, vous aviez promis de faire quelque chose?

BögohSian ne dénia point tourner son regard vers le mien. Il n'eut qu'une seconde d'hésitation avant d'ajouter ces quelques mots

Un autre jour peut-être!

Ces quelques mots résonnent encore dans ma tête! Je ne les ai jamais oubliés et je ne pourrai jamais oublié. Voilà ce qu'il reste des souvenirs, des débris de souvenirs devrai-je plutôt dire de ma vie passée. J'ai survécu. Par quel miracle? Je ne sais pas. Je suis ici dans ce monde. Il y a eu un prix à payer. Le prix fut payé! Mais je me dois de découvrir quel fut ce prix et pourquoi.

Du moins pour mes frères.
