What works
Played through the game at highest graphics settings. No major problems.


What does not

Dynamic processor clock (Cool'n'Quiet etc.) has to be turned off.

Ingame graphics stutter (very short pause every 1-2 seconds) after video playback (visions). Game has to be restarted to recover. Playing is possible even with these hiccups though. It's just a bit annoying.

There are minor graphical glitches in levels with long light beams (Hall of Learning, The Hourglass).

Not sure all graphical effects were the way they are intended to be. Water is almost invisible. I didn't see any effect when toggling the "Water effects" option.

Got two non-reproducable crashes while playing (something like "error opening file" as last error on console).


What was not tested
-


Additional Comments

Used an nvidia 9600GT with the 173.14 and 177.82 driver. Tested before with an ATI HD 3850 and fglrx 8.12. With ATI the game graphics are completely garbage even at lowest settings.

Can't install
by Ildar Sagdejev on Sunday December 26th 2010, 21:09
Installer fails, after copying files from both installation disks, requesting:

"Please insert disk 0 that contains the file data4.cab"

There is no disk 0, and no data4.cab. Apparently, this is not a Wine problem per se: forum.mininova.org/index.php?showtopic=235014709

I am installing from an external DVD RW drive (Sony DRU-830A) connected via USB. These are legitimate CDs and have installed and ran just fine a couple years ago on Windows XP.

Pink Screens

I can see the text in the game, but the rest of the screen is pink. How can I fix this?

hwo to solve the fog problem
by Simon Beer on Monday May 24th 2010, 8:44
There's a way to solve the fog problem and enable fog again:

Open the game directory and open the "Hardware.ini"

Find the following two lines:
ForceVSFog=0
InvertFogRange=1

and change them to:
ForceVSFog=1
InvertFogRange=0

Worked for me (Wine 1.2-rc1, Geforce 9800GT & driver 195.36.15).
Don't know if this works with a Readeon, too.

Screen resolution
by Mayne on Friday January 2nd 2009, 16:14
Note that SoT limits screen resolution to 1280x960. Use UniWS www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/UniWS to patch POP.EXE to use higher resolutions.

Side note: Echo effects in audio are missing; this is not implemented in Wine yet (see Wine bug 10603).
