Sacrifice

What works

Installation and Tutorial levels.  Everything seems to run smoothly as long as the configuration is set to Windows 98 not XP.

What does not

The 3rd patch for the game mentions requiring directx 8 and installing it results in most fonts disappearing and the game failing to run.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Game play beyond the tutorials and multiplayer.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

Must set windows version to Win NT 4.0 for this application.

-takes care of "non-existent pagefile error"

Must also use windowed mode

-takes care of lack of rendering of title screen

Install directplay via winetricks, only worked for Patch #2 as of May-10-2011.

See http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames for additional install information.

IPX (Original CD, Patch #2 and 3 see Patch #2 or #3 to use dplay)

-Can recompile kernel with IPX support https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

-Can use ipxtunnel (ports used are UDP 6073, 2302) http://www.linux.org/docs//ldp/howto/IPX-HOWTO-15.html

Note: This has been fixed in recent versions of wine.

Hi I have coded a small program to fix a bug in Wine which causes an error message on launch, by changing a 1 value in the header of the main program executable. To use it, open a terminal and cd to the install directory, so something like:

cd .wine/drive_c/shiny/sacrifice/

wget jeffz.name/code/pe.exe
then to fix your game executable (assuming it is called sacrifice.exe):

wine pe.exe sacrifice.exe
