+# How to run OMP client on linux
+
+Warning! You DO NOT get the gui working, you can only run this EITHER through the wine terminal, OR a batch script.
+(tested on wine-ge 8-26 in a 32-bit prefix in lutris)
+-
+
+To get the client to run you need to download the launcher, and omp-client.dll. (https://assets.open.mp/omp-client.dll)
+Then you need to put omp-client.dll in the AppData\Local\com.open.mp\omp\ folder of your prefix
+
+You also should install allfonts through winetricks, or else the game will crash when you pause.
+In case that the game doesn't work(for me it didn't show the login prompt on wtls), you should try toggling on/off the settings "Prefer system libraries" in lutris.
+
+Here is a sample .bat file.
+ Z:\path\to\omp-launcher.exe -h server.ip -p port -n dzmtrzz -g Z:\home\yourname\foo\bar\baz\gamepath\
+(replace dzmtrzz with whatever username you want, that's just a cheeky self insert)
