Unreal II: The Awakening

What works

Was able to install and play the game at good frame rates and quality. I'm using the version which comes with the Unreal Anthology collection.

What does not

• Crash occurred when trying to start a new game, until I added dmband, dmscript and dmloader DLLs to overrides list (Libraries section of Winecfg), as noted for wine 0.9.43 test results by anonymous user.
• Mouse is messed up (cannot turn player around 360 Degrees as noted by other users) also gets locked into rectangular areas on the menus sometimes. Probably related to bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971
  
• Gnome panels appear above game window, had to switch between video modes in game to fix it.
• Messed up display (see through floors, etc). Turning shadows off seemed to fix most of these issues.
  
• Splash startup screen appears under existing windows on desktop
  

Workarounds

Additional Comments

Unfortunately the mouse issues make this game unplayable (or at least very very annoying to play). Upping the sensitivity allows you to turn a bit more before hitting the "wall", but after getting killed several times because of not being able to turn that extra little bit, I decided to wait till this is fixed before attempting to play anymore. Tis a pity, since it seems like this could very well be a Silver or Gold rating otherwise and I'm anxious to play this game ;)
