[SOLVED] GOG Flatout 2 won't launch

Hello,
Here is the launch in a terminal:

[drunkd][11/11/2017_15:19:11] drunkd has finished its work

[jl@abc FlatOut 2]$ 

Some answers here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gog-flatout-2/ but they are for flatout 1.

Thank you in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] GOG Flatout 2 won't launch

Hello,

I installed it yesterday and it looks like the version of wine that come with the game is not working on arch. I modified drunk.sh so it call the version of wine that is installed on my computer. drunk.sh is in "GOG Games/FlatOut 2/drunk". You have to replace

"${current_dir}/../${drunk_wine}/bin/wine"

by

"/usr/bin/wine"

or the path to any wine binary you want to use to launch the game in the lines 84 and 92.
There might be a better solution but it works.
