  1. Download the .air file from here: https://idlemaster.djartsgames.ca/~idle/?page=download&network=cne
  2. You'll need to install wine and winetricks(this might not be needed)
    1. For fedora users you'll run: sudo dnf install wine winetricks
  3. Then you'll need to download the adobe air installer for windows which you can find here: https://get2.adobe.com/air/otherversions/
    1. Make sure to grab the windows installer
  4. Then from the command line you'll want to use wine to install the installer(assuming you downloaded it to ~/Downloads you'll run the below command)
    1. wine ~/Downloads/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
  5. Then in a command line type: wine uninstaller
  6. It'll pop up a window that will allow you to actually install things(go figure)
  7. Click the instill button, find the downloaded CrusadersDesktop.air file, and you should be good to go.
  8. Then launch Crusaders from the wine applications menu option(You'll have to find it based on what distro you use).

A few things to keep in mind as soon as I started it up for the first time it crashed, I restarted it and it worked, all the way until I was ready to go on to the 2nd area in the tutorial, then it crashed again. I loaded it back up, it crashed, so I restarted, and it worked fine. I played for a while and decided to give it a shot and link my account from steam. I had steam open and tried restarting the desktop client, it crashed. I closed steam, then restarted the desktop client, and it loaded everything up fine. I've already done a few sprints and haven't had any issues. It honestly seems to run better/smoother than running it through steam. I won't be letting it run overnight yet..... going to run my overnight in steam, then tomorrow run it all day in the new desktop client, if that goes well, I might just stick to the new standalone.

EDIT: I honestly also forgot that you could just try running the .exe in wine.... lol well, I've already got this going, so maybe someone else can try doing that.

Hey, I happened to try this earlier! Downloading and extracting the .zip version, then running

wine "Crusaders of the Lost Idols.exe"

in its directory seemed to work just fine. It seemed plenty stable, but admittedly I only let it run for half an hour or so.
