Retail version.

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; loading the game; graphics (except text); sound.


What does not
The menu text. None of the text on the menus is displayed, making the game unplayable even though everything else displays properly (unless you have the menus memorized). See bug 16025


What was not tested
I was not able to test gameplay. I did not apply the patch.


Additional Comments

Tested using intel 915 graphics card. At first I had issues with models not being displayed properly (large black areas) but in winecfg I selected "vertex shader support: hardware" and selected "allow pixel shader."

HOWTO

Do not start the installer using Un*x paths (e.g. wine /media/cdrom0/Setup.exe). These won't work because of bug 7663.

Do not use Setup.exe, since it may produce segfault due to bug 7785. Neither use Autoplay.exe, since it just relies on Setup.exe.

For now, the only right way to start the installer is:

wine 'd:\_dxinst.exe' ' -wd d:'

Again, when starting the game make sure the path is in win32 form.  Additionally, if you have a multi-core CPU, use schedtool to work around thread unsafety issues.   The complete command would be:

schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine 'c:\Program Files\Liquid Entertainment\War of the Ring(tm)\Rings.exe'
