Sacred

What works

• Launching
• Starting new campaigns (Ancaria and Underworld)
• Saving, loading
• Singleplayer and Multiplayer gameplay
  

Settings (other values of these have been tested):

• Graphics - High
• Transparency - 50%
• "Atmospheric Animations" - True
• Mouse: Follow enemy - True
• Autosave - False
• Overview map - True
• Blood - True

• Fullscreen - False
• Play movies - True
• 32 bit color depth - True
• AA filtering - True
• Video compat mode - False
• Logging - True
• Sound - True

What does not

All listed problems are not critical. Game will run fine.

• Videos are being skipped out of the box
• Sacred's native font is not showing inside loading/saving bars
• Moving the Sacred window does not move the contents of it (they appear to be "glued" to the middle of the screen)
• Fullscreen locked to 1024x768. On Cinnamon: Doesn't revert monitor back to native resolution after exiting
  

Workarounds

Videos - two possibilities:

1. config.exe > unset "Play movies".
2. winetricks amstream devenum quartz wmp9. Important: Press Yes in codec installation!

Font:
Only affects the texts in loading/saving bars. To resolve:
Install _antqs.ttf and caroline.ttf fonts to your local system. They are found in gamedir/font directory.

Window movement:

1. Don't move it.
2. winecfg > Enable virtual desktop: 1024x768

Fullscreen:

There is no way to set the fullscreen size except with external programs.
One possible workaround is to enable virtual desktop with your native resolution.
