Except you are now a German soldier uniting Axis and Allied troops again the forces of evil.

    Lost Company was made in 2010 and runs perfectly in Wine on PlayOnLinux. I didn't have any issues installing, configuring or playing as you can see in the video. It is a bit dated when compared to more recent FPS, but still fun and intense!

    Unfortunately the DirectX 10 features do not run in Wine, but there is a workaround to force DirectX 9

    After installing the game, navigate to this folder
    /home/username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/necrovision/drive_c/GOG Games/NecroVision Lost Company/Bin

    Open config.ini in a text editor

    Change this line to = 1
    Cfg.RenderDevice = 1

    Now the game will launch without any problems.

    Specs:
    Mint 20.2 64-bit
    GeForce GTX 1060
    Nvidia 470
    PlayOnLinux 4.3.4
    Wine 6.0 64-bit
    DXVK 1.9.2
