What works

installation

starting the game, getting to the main menu

changing various options in the settings menu

the actual game can be started only when using the OpenGL renderer (with graphical issues)

What does not

  • Direct3D renderer causes the game to crash when starting a new game
  • Opengl renderer has strange graphical issues, even when settings are set to the lowest (broken/missing textures, flickering)
  • cutscenes are broken, too (audio/video distortions)
  • the game frequently freezes for seconds during the dialogues
  • pressing the button leads to a crash
  • inventory not shown

Additional Comments

English version of the demo, downloaded from Gamershell. A new game can be started only when the OpenGL renderer is used. It has still heavy artefacts. Nvidia 7600 / driver 256.53

HowTo / Notes

Needs an old version of Wine or changes to the configuration

­­­­Use wine-0.9.31 .. 0.9.43 to play this game with the default Direct3D9 renderer because of several regressions. These old versions should work except the item icons in the inventory may not be drawn correctly (bug #21354).

The maintainer would appreciate if you would find out whether one of these old ve­rsions works better than the others.

You can use much more recent versions of Wine (such as 1.1.34/36) if you change bin/release/plugins.cfg to use the GL renderer instead. The speech output issue (bug #21209) may still affect your machine.­
