Additional Comments

MBD - Asus Z87PRO CPU - Intel i7 4770k RAM - 32 GB RAM SSD - Samsung 840 PRO VID - Nvidia 440 GT (310.xx) OS Mode - Windows 7 Prefix works better on 32-Bit, so for 64-Bit users please do the following: rm -fr ~/.wine export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX="/home/USER/.wine" winecfg If it helps, this is my complete winetrick component list that applies for most applications. It saves the time and trouble of any issues or needed DLLs. d3dx10 d3dx9_26 d3dx9_28 d3dx9_31 d3dx9_35 d3dx9_36 d3dx9_39 d3dx9_42 d3dx9_43 d3dx9 directx9 dotnet20sp1 dotnet20 dotnet30sp1 dotnet35 dotnet40 gdiplus gdiplus_winxp gfw mfc40 mfc42 msxml3 msxml4 msxml6 physx quartz vb6run vcrun2003 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun6sp6 vcrun6 wmp10 wsh56vb wsh57 xact_jun2010 xact xinput xna40

1. Install the game - this should be take any problem
2. Start the game. Go to Options -> Visuals -> Advanced Settings and set Decals to Off

Use wine-1.3.6 or revert commit f0b0c1b1dddf606177651deb45c0afd6259076aa as described in RegressionTesting wiki page

• Crash when moving between chapters:
  1. In menu, set Visuals to "Low" and accept.
  2. Go to the tram panel (if you are moving on tram), stay at left of it, looking at panel.
  3. Press "E" single-time, very shortly. Make sure, that you are not moving mouse at this time.
  4. Don't touch your mouse or press any keys until game will suggest you to save your progress.

  If it crashed anyway (there will be clutch in the sound and no "Chapter complete" message will appear), run console blindly and type wineserver -k.

• Crash when cutting some part of enemy:

  Switch off "Decals" in Options -> Visuals -> Advanced Settings

• Mouse cursor in menu isn't visible:

  To navigate in menu use arrows to control selection, Enter on non-submenu option is "accept", ESC - "cancel". Or you may try to guess mouse position watching at highlights.

• Maximum resolution in in-game settings lower than actual maximum:

  Play with Virtual Desktop enabled: winecfg -> Graphics -> Emulate Virtual Desktop and set size for it matching your desktop resolution. Also you probably want to disable window decorations. Enabling Virtual Desktop is commonly a good this to do, as it guaranties you, that application won't mess your current resolution up, if something would go wrong.

• Camera always looking up:

  Disconnect your gamepad before starting a game or try joypad.txt file from comments below.
