Airline Tycoon Lands On Linux, Somehow We Didn’t Notice
13 Dec 2014 at 12:53 am UTC

Going by the forums the game was only put on Steam for Windows in November.

Is this an actual native port? As I would be amazed for such an old game to be ported without using a WINE wrapper.

Quoting: fleskI also want to note that the developer has been great at responding to and fixing issues reported on the Steam forums. If you mention that issue there I'm sure he'll at least try to get it sorted out, thelimeydragon.
I mentioned it to him on the day of release. Sadly never did get sorted probably as wasn't the highest priority and also I'm probably playing with "the wrong specs".

But managed to beat the game anyway on my other system.

I enjoyed the game. However the only problem I had is that the game seems to be fixed to pulse audio which I do not have on my system.

So I had to play the game on another Linux system to play it with audio.

Quoting: thelimeydragonApparently the reason some people are unable to run the game is the game is currently compiled for CPUs that support the SSE4 instruction set.
oh, the same thing that happened with Tropico 5, AMD processors were having the issue. Mine is the Phenom 2 six core. No SSE4 support. Well hopefully they can re-compile the binary to fix that.
.... I have a 4 years old intel i5. I don't have any idea if my processor have implemented this instruction
In a terminal do:

less /proc/cpuinfo

It will give you all your CPU info and what it supports.

I've got the guy who uploaded them to Steam on my friends list. Very nice guy. He's always willing to take advice and help where he can. He even recently installed multiple virtual machines with various linux distros to help make sure things ran ok.
