Hello, I'm new to Zorin OS. My name is David. I have a problem installing the game Plarium Stormfall Age of War. I can't install Microsoft Net Framework.
Thank you
Hi and welcome to the forum. Did you install wine / lutris ?
I've never heard of this game, but a quick google tells me the composer was Jesper Kyd. The same guy responsible for the amazing soundtrack in Darktide. I would hope that the soundtrack is as epic in this game as it is that one.
But also yes, how are you trying to install this currently?
Plarium Stormfall Age of War, is a internet browser game, I'd be surprised if Wine was directly needed for this. Isn't the game supposed to launch in Chrome or Firefox?
I don't play web based games myself, I play games on Steam which are most compatible with Linux. Steam is found in the software store BTW.
Having said that, I wasn't able to find a Steam listing for the game however though on Google.
oui , j ai tout essayeé et sans succes
meme avec playonlinux, impossible
which version of playonlinux did you try using, and please answer my question in english if possible as my French is very basic from high school classes 20 years ago. I'm using the Zorin OS packed version (4.3.4) which doesn't show a version number in GNOME store but seems to work the best for FEAR and Halo alike
also do you know which specific framework version is required?
Sorry for my english is bad ^^ , Zorin latest version and PlayOnLinux is also latest version, the problem is impossible to install Microsoft Net Framework
Could you try downloading Plarium "Stormfall Age of War" to test and tell me what you see?
Of the three versions offered, the oldest seems the most stable of the PlayOnLinux versions and will allow you to install the missing dot net framework. However as already mentioned, the game should just run in the web browser so would not pick up on dot net framework from WINE.
So unless you run the game through a browser installed in WINE too it would not work out
Did you also try mono runtime? that is the opensource equivalent of dot net framework that runs natively on linux
I found a support thread on the Plarium forum for this, they are recommending users install dot net runtime 6.0.35 which has been superceded by 6.0.36 (should work too)
PlayOnLinux does not offer that version so it won't install it automatically but it does not stop you loading in the runtime files first and then installing the Plarium game launcher afterwards
use the windows build for playonlinux though
I would recommend taking it further on the game help forum thread about net framework then. That said they may answer that Linux is not supported but it is still worth asking for peer user help on there. I did look on WINEHQ but there is nothing added for the game.
I have done so and you can install .NET directly on Ubuntu:
For use in wine (compatibility layer), you probably are best served using Winetricks to install dotnet 40 package.
Its worth mentioning that while .NET Framework was initially built to be a runtime for Windows, where as .NET Core (nowadays just referred to as .NET) is designed to be cross platform.
I've been building a C# application over the last few years that utilises a bunch of methods from .NET, and it works quite well on both Windows and Linux. Its really impressive. Though at this point that application is using .NET 8 as that is the LTS (long term support) version nowadays.
.NET Core 6 has already reached its end of life.
I install the .net sdk instead of the .net runtime, since the runtime package only contains the necessary files to run an application while the sdk contains both a development-kit and the runtime.
sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-8.0
Though, since op is going to be running the application through wine - this likely won't work anyways.
Hello,
I still haven't succeeded. I don't understand at all. Could you explain it to me step by step, if possible, with screenshots? I'm a complete beginner with Linux, thank you 
Simply run the command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-8.0
Enter your password when it prompts for it.
Press Y to continue with the installation:
After a minute or so, the installation of dotnet 8 will be complete.
I did as you say, it's good but and after? I tried with Playonlinux and always even problem
If you're not sure if it was installed correctly, you can use this command to check:
dotnet --version
It should say 8.0.114
