LAN finally working

[PaulWarburg]

Hi commanders,

I finally managed to make the LAN work with Linux (ubuntu) computers, no revora server needed.

While all machines run either on proton-experimental or proton-8, everyone is visible in the lobby (switch off your VPN), but sadly you can't join a game because 'your serial is already in use'.

Here is the trick: protontrick.
https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks


install pipx:
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-venv pipx

install protontricks:
pipx install protontricks

ensure environment:
pipx ensurepath
(reload terminal after that)

get your game ID:
protontricks -l
(KW is 24810)

-> Launch your game in windowed mode (add '-win' to launch option), go to LAN lobby
-> Open a terminal and run 'protontricks 24810 regedit'
-> Like old days, mess with registry 'local_machine/software/Wow6432/ElectronicFarts/Kane'sWrath/ergc'
Now modify %CDKEY% with whateveryou see fit.

Voilà !

Now purge them with flame, but in the same room.
LAN times are back baby.


Cheers commanders
