Game is currently in beta devel (current build v0.69) -- one can use/participate with the beta release on the condition that you are prepared to pre-purchase a usage license. That purchase must be made via facilities built into the game launcher UI, however this is not working for us, with the 'Purchase' page of the launcher always displaying the error text of ;
"A detectable CPU, permanent storage device, and Ethernet or wireless (802.11) card are required to purchase the simulation. Currently, this application cannot detect these components. If these components are available and you believe this message is an error, please contact support@rfactor.net"
...and as such, one cannot purchase a license. I did actually email the support email cited, but the reply was merely a 'seems wine is not compatible' type of answer. Other functions of the launcher UI seemingly work, including the config utility (which does detect GPU setup).
Issue can be reproduced by downloading/installing the latest beta offering from the following URL, starting it, and clicking on the 'Purchase' tab in the UI ;
