Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Installing, playing the game (singleplayer and multiplayer)
What does not
The HUD is still screwed up. It seems that the sky gets painted over it - so loading-screens and all of the ingame HUD are messed.
Furthermore backlights of cars are covered by white squares as described in this bugreport.
Also the editor for custom tracks crashes from time to time, so if you plan to make tracks, SAVE OFTEN (luckily there's a quicksave feature which does not take much time)!
What was not tested
Whether new keybindings work. The default ones are fine for me.
Additional Comments
The game is very playable, although the screwed HUD is a bit annoying. I really suggest running in a new XServer, as the game changes gamma and stuff, which your desktop will keep in case the game crashes.
If your game crashes at start of every multiplayer match with blendTimePassed >= -0.001, try this fix.
HOWTO
1. Mount your Crashday CD and install the game from a terminal:
(replace /media/crashday with the path where you mounted the CD)
# cd /media/crashday
# wine setup.exe
- Oh and you might want to turn wine sound output off before (with
winecfg), because there's loud music playing during the setup.
When the installation dialog says finished, terminate it with CTRL+C in the terminal.
2. Patch the game to 1.1 (links are at the description above)
3. Start the game (maybe in a new x server?) with:
# WINEDEBUG=-all wine Crashday.exe -skipvideo
(skipvideo because intro videos don't work anyway and it therefore saves a few seconds)
4. If you want to join a multiplayer game, you have to open up network.cfg in the installation path (eg ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Atari/Crashday ) and change the masterserverip line to:
masterserverip 81.92.165.142
If you don't do that, the game will crash (yep, thats bad code by the game devs).

Segment error:((

When I launch crashday.exe it always sends me Segmentation error.
The game freezes when I try to assign controls
by Monsta on Tuesday January 27th 2009, 11:56
I select anything from keyboard controls menu and when the game asks to press a key to assign... it doesn't react to any key anymore. So I just have to kill the process.
Did anybody experience that? Everything else is working fine, except for already mentioned minor bugs - strange HUD colors and weird looking loading screen. I just don't like the default controls.
Wine version is 1.1.7.
