The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Everything that was tested. Skirmish, Campaigns, Map generator, etc. Beautiful.
What does not
Mouse wheel does not scroll for full range of whatever is being scrolled. Zooming with the mouse wheel will not zoom very var from the current position, and scrolling through lists or message boxes only works for a few lines. The workaround is to use the keyboard for zooming and clicking and dragging the scrollbar for lists/mesageboxes.
What was not tested
Multiplayer (though previous reports say that it works fine)
Additional Comments
It no longer needs an emulated desktop to run, though if you ever have trouble starting it this would still be a good troubleshooting step to try. I did not need to disable vertex shaders, but some others have indicated that it may be required.
The whole game seems to run much faster and more smoothly since my last report. Great job, wine devs!

Low fps
by Per Johansson on Saturday August 20th 2011, 14:09
I can't seem to get this game to run well. FPS is constant around 5 or so, and everything is very slow. It's not my hardware, CPU is mostly idle (about 10 %) and GPU should handle it fine.

Map Editor problem
by mavka13 on Tuesday August 17th 2010, 20:36
Now, the game starts perfectly. Just wonderful!
However, I have problems with using the map editor. It behaves similarly to what was described in the bug no.20190 - editing pane continually refreshes at smaller and smaller sizes until it disappears.
I have ASUS UL30Vt with Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 and active graphics adapter Nvidia G210 with 512MB memory (a driver from Nvidia is installed). OS is Ubuntu 10.04.
Initially, I had wine version 1.1.42. Then I decided to try with the new one. Unfortunately, with the versions 1.2 and 1.3 the behavior was the same, however after a while the program crashed with the message
----------------------------------------------------------------------
fixme:d3d:query_init Unhandled query type 0x4.
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xff00000c at address 0x7e181947 (thread 002c), starting debugger...

Peformance problems

Running version 3.1 on Karmic 9.10 32bit.
My problem was that the game would load fine until you got to the Main Menu. There the background cinematics would stall and the mouse was hardly useable. (Took me 10 minutes just to get to the Audio and video settings).
Anyway the only way I could get it to work was to run Wine as a window and disable the pixel shading.
To disable the pixel shading I had to go to the Wine configuration and click on the graphics tab. There you'll see, "Allow Pixel Shader (if supported by hardware)" Uncheck that box
It isn't the most responsive and the details aren't as accentuated but it is playable.
I suspect that it will improve when I get my much needed hardware upgrade soon.
