Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Creating projects and saving them.
Creating maps.
Creating events.
Game testing.
Sounds.
What does not
The database.
What was not tested
Battles (because the database cannot be accessed, no enemies can be created)
Using items and spells, for the same reason as battles
Be aware that this program CAN cause complete system lock-up (requiring a reboot; trying to restart X using CTRL-ALT-BKSP is pointless)
Edit: Thanks to Hanmac for this info!
you can kick the maker with a second display under GDM. (i dont know if it also works with other)
HOWTO
Partial Workaround for database
The database can be made to work (partially). once installed run "wine regedit" (without the quotes) from the terminal, and change the value of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Enterbrain\RPGVX\DatabaseIndex to 1. this changes the tab you start on upon opening the database to classes. All database actions except the actors tab are supported. any attempt to use the actor tab will crash the database and require the key to be changed again.
Edit: thanks to Mary Zunder for the basic principal.

A friend of mine made a game with this program, and whenever I try to run it I get "The program has encountered a serious problem and needs to close." Has anyone been able to fix this?
Database

Everything seems to work except for the Database. After messing with the registry (DatabaseIndex) I have found it is specifically the "Actors" tab that is 'unsupported' every other aspect of the database works fine.
