Installer rise-of-nations-cd

description: "Installs the original 2003 retail CD release of Rise of Nations (the\
  \ SafeDisc-protected disc, not the Steam Extended Edition) on Linux via Wine/Proton.\
  \ Renders through WineD3D rather than DXVK, so it works on machines with weak or\
  \ no Vulkan support. You supply a no-CD nations.exe from your own legally-owned\
  \ copy when prompted \u2014 SafeDisc copy protection cannot run under Wine, so this\
  \ is required. Most retail discs already ship at the final 1.04 patch level, so\
  \ no patching is needed."

notes: "Set a recent Proton-based Wine runner as your Lutris Wine version before installing\
  \ \u2014 old builds like wine-ge-8-26 fail to build a prefix on current distros.\
  \ No 32-bit host libraries are needed; Proton's Steam Runtime container provides\
  \ them.\r\nYou'll be prompted for two files: RONSETUP.EXE from your disc, and your\
  \ own no-CD nations.exe. Match the no-CD file to your disc's version (check with\
  \ exiftool nations.exe); a SafeDisc no-CD is normally smaller than the protected\
  \ original.\r\nIMPORTANT: when RONSETUP finishes it offers a \"Play now\" button\
  \ \u2014 do NOT click it; the no-CD swap hasn't happened yet, so the game won't\
  \ launch there. Close the installer, let Lutris finish, and launch from your Lutris\
  \ library instead.\r\nThe installer disables DXVK (rendering via WineD3D, for weak/no-Vulkan\
  \ GPUs), writes a working rise2.ini (windowed, intro skipped, no alt-tab blackout),\
  \ and disables the startup movies that otherwise spawn a stray black \"ActiveMovie\"\
  \ window. Most discs need no patch; early discs that want the final patch must apply\
  \ it after install: rise.exe /patch rn2.04.04.2903.rtp /p."
