OK, I just discovered Outerra two days ago and I've not slept since... This is CRAAAAZY!
Now I am running Ubuntu 18.04 on a 7 years old laptop, and still OT just worked fine on the first try, How?
Well I made sure my OS is clean sudo apt autoremove
I then made sure I had the latest NVIDIA driver, in my case I updated to 430.50 from the NVIDIA X server
then installed a fresh WINE complete with WINEtricks from the Ubuntu's flathub repository, after installation I selected the windows 10 OS.
I then downloaded OT.
The tricky part for me was to install OT via WINEtricks and not PLayOnLinux. That needs a bit of fiddling... but I chose to "install an application" >>"OK" >> and "cancel" on the the screen (showing the list of applications)
This is not taking back to the same screen, but offers an option of "browse file", from there I selected my OT file and let WINEtrick do its magic.
It asked to install all missing DLLs to which I agreed, and I rebooted once finish.
I now have a fully functional OT... It is not as smappy as I would have liked, but I was able to move around and find the spot I was looking for.
My goal is to make install some model to illustrate/simulate the possibility to develop an area in a sustainable way and protect the surrounding ecosystem.... but this is a topic for another post, I guess....
Thank you, THANK YOU to the developers for such an amazing tool. I will definitely buy the beta ASAP!
Again thanks!!
