Essential improvements
Patches
- Serious Sam II Patch 2.070. Do not install this if you have the German version as it can cause various problems due to the game's copy protection.[3] The Steam version also doesn't need this patch as it's already updated past this.
Unofficial Linux installer
flibitijibibo has made an unofficial installer that simplifies installation of the game on Linux. If you own the game, download the installer at http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/installers/flibitSam2_2070b.tar.gz.
Running the game in Linux
To run the game, just run serioussam2.exe
in the installation folder. You may have to chmod +x
it first.
Serious Editor
To run the editor, just run serioussam2.exe
in the installation folder. You may have to chmod +x
it first.
Getting audio to work
To get audio working, move to the root of the Serious Sam 2 installation and make a symlink to your 32-bit libopenal.so. For Fedora, it looks like
ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libopenal.so.0
