Selected Test Results

What works

  • Installation proceeds fine.
  • Game runs normally, with a few problems (see "What does not work")

What does not

  • Menus - when hovered over with the mouse, text in menus are redrawn incorrectly and become illegible in either full screen or desktop-emulated mode. Fixed by appending the -windowgui flag when launching the game via CLI and in desktop-emulated mode.
  • Cutscenes don't work in fullscreen or desktop emulated mode. Also fixed with -windowgui.
  • Launching the game with -windowgui without an emulated desktop works fine upon entering the menu, but levels on the game are not playable.
  • Multiplayer mode - cannot be accessed due to missing network interfaces on the multiplayer join or create host menus.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Dark Forces II Jedi Knight, Can't Play Multiplayer
by Matthew Guertin on Monday May 9th 2016, 15:37
Hey,

So, I followed instructions and opened JK using the -windowgui command in the terminal, but the join/host connection boxes were still empty. When I rolled the cursor over those boxes, there were sounds of items being encountered; but when I clicked on them repeatedly, I got a "Cannot connect to the network" error message. I also followed instructions and set all the required .dll files as native, and that didn't do anything, either. Anyone know how to fix this? (I use Lubuntu, if that matters.)

Seems like it could be a GUI error not loading the text for the different network options or that the network options themselves are not loading. Have you tried running JK without the -windowgui option, and have you tried running winetricks for directplay and directx9?
