Installing the assets on Linux and Windows is the same - the game should be able to download them from the community mirrors (if not, check your firewall and connection, like Matthias suggested; I had that issue once due to a poorly set up network) or install them by itself if you insert the CD. Any different behavior would be something we need to investigate and potentially fix.

Release 2015 09 19 is the current, at this point quite outdated release. You want the latest playtest - playtest 2015 11 14. (Hint: There will probably be a new playtest before the weekend is over.) P.S.: You can set the game speed from the lobby or mission browser respectively.

Oh, that sounds great! Yes, there have been a bunch of polish improvements since the playtest, so it would be better to wait until the release is out :)

OK, I respect that point. For several months now we have been pushing toward making OpenRA's D2k mod as close to the original game as possible. And I would say we have come pretty close. As you may have noticed, we overhauled it completely since the last release to make sure it matches the original game's balance in all possible aspects. As it currently stands, the only major thing that is missing is the Starport logic, and we have a prototype for that. Everything else that is left is non-dealbreaking polish like vehicles smoking when damaged and concrete being actually destructible. A lot of work went into the overhaul, and I'm hoping that this upcoming release will please the Dune 2000 community. It would be great to get some feedback from you guys on what you feel needs changing so we can do as good a job with this as possible :)

OK, so far I heard an expectation for a 100% complete clone and nothing else. Does anyone else want to join the discussion? So we can get an actual discussion with more people?

Hello, I'm relatively new here and I'm interested to hear where this community stands on OpenRA's D2k mod. Is it "Oh no, this thing is trying to pull us away from the great original game!", which is... fair enough? I know that when you're that much used to something it's hard to change it. OpenRA isn't Dune 2000, and while in some aspects the D2k mod is better than the original game, in others it isn't (yet). Or is it "Let's wait and see if it becomes good enough to be worth considering over the original game" ? In which case, what are your expectations? What do you think and why? Thanks.
