Run windows version of BDS in linux with Mod support (Yes, it is also can be run in windows)
(More information) ๐ Wiki
Q: Why not use a native linux version?
A: The windows version has noticeable performance improvements, even when running under wine.
Q: Can the Windows version run directly under wine?
A: No, because Microsoft uses Chakra.dll, which contains a lot of references to private dlls. (It also prevents you from running on systems prior to Windows 10.)
Q: How it works?
A: I created a dll that simply forwards all APIs to the open source version of Chakra engine i.e. ChakraCore. And this version can run directly under wine.
