Additional Comments

Game installed under Windows then ran through Linux partition. Game runs almost flawlessly aside from the aforementioned graphical glitches. They in no way hinder the game experience as everything else works fine. The registry tweaks listed on this page were done and I set a simulated desktop of 1440 x 900 before playing. These are definitely required, but I did not copy any DLL's nor did I do any other tweaking. This could be bumped to Gold if the graphical glitches were sorted and maybe the fact that you have to emulate a desktop could be fixed.

* 1) Type regedit in terminal
* 2) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D (if Direct3D does not exist create it)
* 3) Add following String values
o Multisampling = Enabled
o OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo (does not work with others atm)
o RenderTargetLockMode = readtex (or textex, readtex is recommended)
o UseGLSL = enabled

o Without readtex(textex) your game will freeze after splash screen.

You also need dotnet20 and vcrun2005. They can be installed trough Winetricks. If you get problems with MSVCRxx.dll files, dont add any native MSVCR file to Wine folder. It will broke your WINEPREFIX. To solve this issue add native MSVCPxx.dll file instead.


* 4) Wine wont handle Last Remnant resolution correctly so you should emulate desktop. If you set display settings to 640x320 then you can run without emulation.. But kinda akward play that small.
* If you get crash on various resolutions set HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\VideoMemorySize = (eg. 256, 512) at registry.

Important: If you use wine-1.1.30 and newer you have to install openAL 1.10 or later or edit your ~/.alsoftrc and add the following two lines on top:
slots=1
sends=1
Otherwise The last Remnant will get stuck on the splash screen as show in the bug 20724
