Additional Comments

Sometimes slow at the end of battle when the game has to compute a lot. Needed to use winecfg in order to disallow the window manager to control the window. Otherwise there was a window title at the top, and at the bottom some pixels were missing (same amount of pixels as the window title) Admin note: rating changed to conform to the rating definitions.

The game does not run correctly in Wine 0.9.37. Earlier and newer versions work fine

This game requires a crack to work.

Installing the patches is highly recommended, as they provide fixes for serious bugs in the game (not Wine related).

There are different patches for the different versions of the game

UK - various

Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working, place dpnsvr.exe and the DLLs in this archive in Wine's windows/system32 directory. Then, start winecfg and add dll overrides (native, builtin) for the following DLLs: dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast and dpwsockx. Finally, update your registry by running 'wineprefixcreate'.
