If you have Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, the standalone expansion to the original game, make sure to download the community-run Forged Alliance Forever (FAF) client.

A lot of quality of life changes, optimizations, better network code, mod support, custom maps released almost daily by the community, and it's still actively played online even after twelve years.

All it needs is a copy of the game to verify, and it goes regularly on sale on Steam.

I like to play against the cheating AIx with one of my friends, and it never seems to get old.

Don't forget the Co-op variants of the old single player campaign maps FAF added.

How does one do that on Linux ?

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Presumably it does run through Wine.

I've got it working on Linux but I'll have to check to see what I did.

I'm not sure, I've only ever run this on Windows.

I remember reading a thread about this on the FaF forums and I think one of the FaF clients does run on Linux. I think this is the current method of choice, but there are multiple ways to get it working and I probably used something else years ago, so its definitely doable.

Yes via Wine/Proton it should work.
