[Guide] Installing the Ion-Maiden (DRM-Free) natively on Linux
Adamfx990 Mar 7, 2018
Ion Maiden seems to have gained a lot of peoples attention on this forum and especially appealing is the option to purchase a DRM-Free version of the game from 3D Realms' website. However, this version is a little bit confusing. Although it says it supports Ubuntu, only a Windows installer can be downloaded from the website. In truth, it will run on just about any distro and will probably also work on Mac (I'll try this at some point and let you know!) But the installer is Windows only. I've put together a guide which should help you if you've purchased/are planning to purchase the DRM-Free version of the game from 3D Realms' website but are confused about how to get it setup.

Feel free to post this guide anywhere else you think people might find it useful. Here's the guide Imgur version.

It might be worth also contacting 3D Realms about this. Maybe they can post an official guide on their page or, who knows, convince them to create an installer proper for Linux and Mac.
