King's Bounty: the Legend (new, 2008)

What works

The game runs normally at default settings, when i switch everything to high however, a crash dares occur, what is reMARkable is that it runs better, it twists and turns without glitches or 'swapping' as is the term that was induced by so many years of windows, maybe this has something to do with the fact that in vista i gat a pagefile of about 7Gb on my harddrive, while on linux (that's ubuntu intrepid amd64 w6gb of ram) i turned off swapspace a while ago ... glory to those who understand

What does not

the water doesnt always seem to be rendered correctly and the shadows rendering gives problems, i suppose this might be because directx hasnt been fully hacked (which is no doubt, a heroic task itself) 

ah yes and the classic animated cursor bug seems to be present as well

Workarounds

What was not tested

everything after the first map, but i suppose the engine and gameplay stay the same throughout the game so that should not make any difference (again) i SHOULD maybe say that the water only was like not rendered(more like one purple surface) only in the intro where you have to do the test

Additional Comments

if you guys need me to test anything, i can do that, please let me know the specifics, getting the software isnt a problem ... and you know where to reach me ... i really believe in this but we all know how the world turns, right
