  1. Use a custom wine prefix to be able to set the Windows version to Windows 95 (setup will fail otherwise0

  2. Install Setup.exe from the .iso file

  3. Rename "Comandos.exe" to "Commandos.exe" (to fix the DirectX5 error)

  4. Run it with "LC_ALL=C" to make it think it's not running on a German computer

  5. Run it full-screen without issues with gamescope:

    LC_ALL=C WINEPREFIX=/home/spiele/.wine-commandos gamescope -h 768 -H 1080 -f -r 30 -- wine Commandos.exe
    
  6. The game is way too fast. Replace Commandos.exe with a speed-fixed one, e.g. "Commandos BEL BCD Ultimate Fixes" from http://kruulos.org/gaming/Commandos_BEL_BCD_Ultimate_Fixes.rar

  7. Saving games is not possible. Modify "OUTPUT/Comando.cfg" and add at the end:

    .SIZE [ .INITSIZE 4 ]
    .PROFILE []
    .DEVELOP 1
    

Notes:

  • "cpulimit" did not help to reduce speed; it made the game stutter
