Stranded II

What works

tested about an hour of gameplay, all fine

the "HOW TO" on the application's front page on here is now irrelevant, everything works out of the box on 3.15 (staging, not tried regular)

What does not

when running in fullscreen the monitor on which it opened will have its resolution lowered and it will stay this way until the game is closed even if you move it to the other monitor

when running in windowed mode with -win argument everything runs flawlessly until you try to move the window, then it freezes

framerate is a tad choppy on all max settings, turn down grass and water detail a bit

there is some glitching with underwater objects viewed from a distance, im not sure if this happens on windows too though

Additional Comments

To get the game running (thanks to ezzetabi):
"In order to play I used this winetricks line:

$ winetricks orm=backbuffer heapcheck

- heapcheck is needed to avoid a "Memory Access Violation" fatal error.
- without orm=backbuffer (so orm is the default fbo) the overlays are flipped upside down. Even the mouse movements are reversed."


To make underwater playable: In the graphics options, disable "2D Postprocessing".
