Just working on something ...

Yes. I can play IWar2 EoC on my system fluid in 1080p with full german support. Directly from steam. I have the original german discs still in my posession and i used it to basically build a patch for the english steam version.

Its still in testing and working along some other little issues, but after some brainstorming and working along with some help of codex, i was able to completely convert the game to work properly on linux (CachyOS) with my gtx 1080.

The Process contains a byte-swap in a specific file to ignore missing disc drive, swapping a bunch of files from audio and video and also dialogue-containers AND, which is the most funny part, converting the audio files into a format, which is supported.

I will pack everything together after very deep tests in the game. Including probably working along the patches available, because they causing some troubles along the Steam- and German-Version of the game.

But for now, i will play this piece of golden game for a bit.
