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
- installation from ISO & from DVD
- game launches when running .exe directly from folder
-- original version
-- Twilight of the Arnor
-- Dark Avatar
- create new game
-- able to customize all options
-- able to create a custom player race
-- able to create a custom AI race
- all in game graphics and texts are displayed correctly
-- combat viewer works with full detail
-- main map is zoomable at all levels
- ship yard is fully functional with full details and ship animations turned on
- able to play game w/ full graphics and details
- able to alt + tab to other applications and back without a problem
What does not
- sound stutters
-- not a personal issue as I tend to listen to other things while playing
- game will crash at random.
-- sometimes after 10 minutes of playing
-- sometimes after a couple hours
-- sometimes will never crash
-- the only thing I am (sometimes) able to replicate is accessing stats and graphs button will cause the game to crash (I've noticed this happens more often with certain saved games, whereas others never have this problem)
- as a work around, I have the game set to auto save every 5 turns, so at worst, I need to re-do only 5 turns worth of moves
- desktop resolution needs to be reset after exiting game
What was not tested
- not tested w/ custom maps
- no online connectivity tested
Additional Comments
Other than the random crashes (sometimes not at all) and the stuttering sound, I would personally rate this as GOLD.

Won't start under STEAM
by Mariano on Tuesday September 25th 2012, 19:35
Ubuntu 10.04 64 and 12.04 64, no matter what of the 2 you use, under STEAM, the game can't complete registration. Registering the game on another PC or another OS won't solve the problem. Tried it in both OS and with both wine 1.4 and 1.5.11. Neither case works. :(
Forgot some relevant information:
Same error with wine 1.5.10 and the last known working version 1.3.35.
Standard gentoo install for 1.5.10, 1.3.35 is a manual build from source.

Game crashes (page fault) on startup
by Dan on Saturday August 11th 2012, 4:24
Bought this via steam a little bit ago and went to try playing it. Install goes fine, trying to run it via steam gives me the registration problems everyone else runs in to. Running directly via the command line (or even just cancelling registration in steam) gives me the warnings about desktop resolution being 0x0, color depth being 0bit, and direct x not enabled (which it looks like other people get as well) but then in page fault's on me and everything crashes.
