Can't get it to work
by Guilherme Furst on Friday March 8th 2013, 8:27
Anyone tried the game in the GoG version with the recent wine?
I'm trying it in a Mac with wineskin, i can't get it to work at all.
Always with some error or crash at start up.
Mouse invisible, window trick not working
by Ty on Thursday February 25th 2010, 19:19
Short from patching Wine myself which I don't want to do nothing is helping with the invisible mouse problem. By the way I am using the GOG.com installer, works great and has no DRM so no issues from Starforce.
Is the above patch going to be included in the beta? Tried on both stable and beta versions of Wine and both didn't work, window trick doesn't work either and just keeps me on a blue screen in virtual desktop.
Cursor

If you are having problems with not having a visible cursor, start Aftershock with " --options fullscreen=false" parameters, if you move the cursor away from the games window, and then back, there will be wines default cursor visible, making the game playable.

Startup script
by Tori on Monday February 2nd 2009, 4:37
This script will launch the game in a virtual desktop. If executed with a -X argument it will launch the game in an empty X server. Note that this might not work with non-nvidia hardware.
#! /bin/sh
if [ "$1" == "-X" ]; then
X :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
sleep 5
fi
Invisible cursor
by Nick on Sunday October 26th 2008, 5:44
This game does interesting things with its cursor: it attempts to change it from different threads(at least 3 threads tries to do so). Such a behaviour completely confuses winex11.drv and leads to the cursor being hide and never shown again.
I see no easy way to fix this, so i use following little ugly hack, that just prevents any cursor changes.
