FunOS

Warzone 2100 is a classic real-time strategy (RTS) game that is still actively maintained and enjoyed by many players today. On FunOS, Warzone 2100 can be installed easily using either the official Ubuntu repositories or the upstream .deb package provided by the Warzone 2100 developers. This guide explains both methods in a clear, step-by-step manner so you can choose the one that best fits your FunOS version and preference.

What is Warzone 2100?

Warzone 2100 is a free and open-source real-time strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world. The game combines base building, technology research, and large-scale tactical combat. Players can design their own units by combining different bodies, propulsion systems, and weapons, making gameplay highly strategic and customizable.

Originally released in 1999, Warzone 2100 was later open-sourced and is now actively developed by the community. It supports single-player campaigns, skirmish mode against AI, and multiplayer gameplay. Warzone 2100 runs very well on lightweight Linux distributions like FunOS.

How to Install Warzone 2100 on FunOS

There are two supported ways to install Warzone 2100 on FunOS:

• Method 1: Install directly from the Ubuntu repositories (recommended for simplicity).
• Method 2: Install using the official .deb package from the Warzone 2100 GitHub releases page.

Follow only one method below.

Method 1: Installing from the Ubuntu Repositories

Work on: 22.04.5 ✅ | 24.04.4 ✅ | 25.04 ✅ | 25.10 ✅ | 26.04 ✅

This method installs Warzone 2100 directly from the Ubuntu repositories used by FunOS. It is the simplest and most straightforward option.

Step 1: Open a Terminal

First, open a Terminal window. You can do this using one of the following methods:

• Click Menu in the lower-left corner of the screen, then click Terminal
• Click the Terminal icon in the Tray
• Press Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard

Step 2: Update the Package List

Before installing new software, it is recommended to update the package list to ensure you get the latest available version from the repositories.

Run the following command:

sudo apt update

Step 3: Install Warzone 2100

Once the package list is updated, install Warzone 2100 by running:

sudo apt install warzone2100

The system will download and install the game along with any required dependencies.

Step 4: Download Campaign Videos (Optional)

By default, Warzone 2100 does not include the campaign cutscene videos. These videos are optional but recommended if you want the full single-player campaign experience.

First, create the directory where Warzone 2100 expects the video files:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/warzone2100

Next, download one of the following video packages, depending on your preference and available disk space.

High Quality (920 MB):

wget https://github.com/Warzone2100/wz-sequences/releases/download/v3/high-quality-en-sequences.wz -O ~/.local/share/warzone2100/sequences.wz

Standard Quality (545 MB):

wget https://github.com/Warzone2100/wz-sequences/releases/download/v3/standard-quality-en-sequences.wz -O ~/.local/share/warzone2100/sequences.wz

Low Quality (162 MB):

wget https://github.com/Warzone2100/wz-sequences/releases/download/v3/low-quality-en-sequences.wz -O ~/.local/share/warzone2100/sequences.wz

Choose only one version.

Step 5: Reload the Menu

To resolve this, download the package from the Ubuntu 24.04 repositories and install it manually:

sudo apt install ./warzone2100_*.deb

Step 7: Remove the Downloaded .deb File

After installation is complete, remove the installer file to keep your system clean:

rm -f warzone2100_*.deb

Step 8: Navigate to the Home Directory

Return to your home directory:

cd

Step 9: Download Campaign Videos (Optional)

As with Method 1, campaign cutscene videos are optional.
