Additional Comments

Use of dll overrides "devenum.dll" and "dxdiagn.dll" Requires using winetricks to install directx9 and vcrun2005. Game would not start without directx9 installed Changed registry key (Use the command "wine regedit" and add these strings to the appropriate directory): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo UseGLSL = enabled VideoMemorySize = 900 Adding these strings help all my games play a little better. If you didn't know you have to add Direct3D Key Name

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
  •  Use of dll overrides "devenum.dll" and "dxdiagn.dll" may be necessary for the game to run.
  •  Requires using winetricks to install directx9 and vcrun2005.
  •  The following registry key changes are recommended (Use the command "wine regedit" and then add them as strings to the appropriate directory):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo
UseGLSL = enabled
VideoMemorySize = 256

You may also put in whatever amount of memory your video card uses instead of 256.

  • To get the autoupdater to run, right click anywhere on the autoupdate window (except the status text part), and then click "dedicated internet connection". It should now work.
  • If you are unable to change resolution while using fullscreen mode, emulating a virtual desktop may be useful for getting the game to allow other resolutions.
