Notes:
You have to use run.sh to play the game. You CAN'T use the launcher
utility. Only use the launcher utility to change from windowed to full
screen mode if it works for you, then close the game and use the run.sh script to play it as
always.
If the run.sh script didn't work for you, then use these steps:
- Invoke "wine taskmgr" - this shows Wine TaskManager window.
- Choose Task | Run from the menu and point it to the Launcher. It
seems that spaces in filename doesn't work here so I have to install
Grim to c:\grim folder and rename the launcher
- Go to options and enable Run From HD. Do not choose to over-write
existing files, instead click "no" when asked. Use Gmount to switch
cdrom images.
- Run the game windowed
- Switch to Tasks in TaskManager, right-click the grimfandango.exe process and choose "Set Affinity..."
- Uncheck all the CPUs but one and click OK.
- If this step is done fast enough - the game runs perfectly fine,
at least I played an hour or so without sound stuttering and subsequent
hangs.
