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
• FSAA - True
• Sound - all 100%, 3D card not detected (not a Wine error)
• Internet - DSL

config.exe settings:

• 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
• Sacred window cannot be moved, "glued" to the display (shown on all virtual desktops), does not create an entry in the taskbar (KDE-specific)
• On KDE: "Compresses" the desktop icons into a 1024x768 area after leaving (1024x being the maximum fullscreen resolution Sacred supports)

Workarounds

Videos - two possibilities:

1. config.exe> unset Play movies.
2. winetricks amstream devenum quartz wmp9. Important: Select 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:

winecfg > Enable virtual desktop: 1024x768. Also causes KDE to create a taskbar entry.

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.

Additional Comments

Nearly identical with test results from March 20, 2018. Changes are the hardware, all versions and the desktop environment.

Tested on AMD Radeon RX580, amdgpu by Mesa 18.2.5 on kernel 4.18.20. Running KDE Plasma 5.14.3.
