Tony Hawk's Underground 2

What works

Playing single player

Create-A modes

Keyboard and USB controller

All game modes

What does not

The game will not install when you mount the Disc 1 ISO as drive D in Wine due to a bug with the installer using 3 CDs. You must instead extract all files and folders from all 3 CDs to their own folder within the Wine prefix and run setup.exe from there. Merge all folders and overwrite all files when doing this. There is also a graphical glitch that distorts the HUD when you skate through glass.

Workarounds

You must use a 32-bit prefix. Use Winetricks to install Microsoft Fonts (corefonts), Managed DirectX (mdx), and .NET Framework 4.6 (dotnet46). This newer version of .NET Framework is not necessary but is needed if you are installing the THUG Pro mod for Tony Hawk's Underground 2. When installing the game, choose "No, I do not want to install DirectX at this time." Also opt out of installing GameSpy Arcade, it's defunct as GameSpy no longer hosts the servers for online play.

What was not tested

Custom faces, online multiplayer using OpenSpy server to replace GameSpy, local multiplayer.
