What works

Installing and running the demo in Dx9 mode.

Select Bioshock in Steam, select properties and set launch options to "-dx9". Adding "-nointro" gets rid of some of the startup videos.

Setting "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" and "MouseWarpOverride=force" is highly recommended. See http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys


What does not

  • Starting the demo without "-dx9" results in a crash.
  • "OffscreenRenderingMode"="pbuffer" results in a black screen.
  • "OffscreenRenderingMode"="backbuffer" results in some drawing artifacts and sometimes crashes even before loading the second area.
  • The demo crashes after trying to load the second area, unless a patched wine-preloader is used.



What was not tested

Winvers=win98, winme, winnt or win2000 wasn't tested.
  
  
  



Additional Comments
This demo would have silver or gold rating if it didn't require patching (loader/preloader.c) and recompiling Wine.
See "http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14657#c4" for a link to the small but effective patch.
