Shouldn't happen in production. Seems to be on a duplicate Lutris slug or something.

Only if Lutris adds support for them
Does Network play work?
Yes, if you get "SERIAL IN USE" error, get one person to reinstall. See details here
Does Online play work?
No because Gameranger doesn't support Linux yet. I'll add Gameranger to the installs when that happens. Also T3A doesn't work on Linux but I'll keep my eyes peeled for that.
Why not put these install scripts on Lutris?
Lutris doesn't allow install scripts to have game data (even the ISOs). I'm also the author of the BFME script on Lutris right now, but it's only as good as they'll let me make it.
Will you add support for X mod?
Probably not, but feel free to ask

It's probably a regular BFME issue. Google around or ask in support groups for the specific issue you're having.

Note: Mods (especially AOTR) are very high quality, intensive games. You need seriously good computers to run them.
Reduce graphics to a minimum
Reduce the game Resolution to a minimum (Options > Resolution > 800x600)
Try enabling DXVK in Lutris (Right click Game > Configure > Runner Options > Enable DXVK/VKD3D)
Get a better PC

BFME only looks for LAN in the first network device you see
On Linux, typing ip addr will show your network devices (ipconfig will do it on Windows)
To fix this, you must DELETE the network devices (links) that could be the culprit
See this answer on Askubuntu on how to do that (works on Arch derivatives too): https://askubuntu.com/a/1313475/911142
