How to play SailAway simulator on Linux
# For those attempting to install and use it on Linux, this is a quick howto (not really a bash script):
# 1. Download and install Steam with wine
# 2. Start steam and install sailaway
wine Steam.exe
# 3. Now wine will automatically use the wrong version of directx (d3d11); open winecfg, go to libraries, in
# "New override library" search for d3d11 and click "Add". Then click in d3d11 in "Existing override" and click "Edit"
# then switch the combo to "Disable"; press on "Apply" and close winecfg
winecfg
# 4. Now you can run sailaway on Linux; first, cd to the sailaway installation directory. If you use bumblebee for
# switching between integrated graphics card and nvidia, run it using optirun
optirun -b primus wine Steam.exe
# or
optirun wine Steam.exe
# or, without bumblebee
wine Steam.exe
# This procedure has been testnet on Gentoo Linux
