Installation and usage instructions :point_right: Wiki

  3. Can be run in windows and linux (with wine)
  4. Native modding support
  5. /transferserver is back!

FAQ

Q: Why not use a native linux version?
A: The windows version has noticeable performance improvements, even when running under wine.

Q: Can the Windows version run directly under wine?
A: No, because Microsoft uses Chakra.dll, which contains a lot of references to private dlls. (It also prevents you from running on systems prior to Windows 10.)

Q: How it works?
A: I created a dll that simply forwards all APIs to the open source version of Chakra engine i.e. ChakraCore. And this version can run directly under wine.
