What works

I have tried a cracked version of Heroes IV without any expansion packs/updates on a dell inspiron 1501 with fglrx 7.11 and it was working as if I had used it from windows. I did not install it just copied the files and executed it.

What does not

Desktop integration is not perfect, full screen does not hide the taskbar. But if you switch off desktop integration all is very good.

Workarounds

What was not tested

network stuff. I just tried a hotseat game with 2 players and AI opponents.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
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'.
