What works

I could intall game using a trick (the 'accept' button on License screen gets ungrayed if text is scrolled down and then selected with a Ctrl+A).

Then WMP has to be installed to play videos at game startup and ingame (if not, game crashes at startup, asking for WMVCORE.DLL). I used winetricks to get WMP9 and it works quite well.

Saving party and loading it after game restart works fine.


What does not

While game is running, GNOME panel and my dock (Docky) are still displaying on top. Also I'm able to interact with them, which means parts of the game screen are not usable for playing (both view and click).

Also, while playing ingame video scenes, sound and image are clipping a bit


What was not tested
Nothing.
