What works

Everything - single player, multiplayer, max settings

What does not

Sometimes the rain turns black. It could be my video card or my drivers.

Sometimes when launching the game an alert box pops up telling me my video drivers are too old, but the game launches fine afterward.

Additional Comments

Not much more to say - the game runs fine, the graphics look great, and the frame rates are acceptable. No winetricks needed, no dll overrides, no workarounds. intel i7-920, nvidia gtx 295 (290.10), 6gb ram

HowTo / Notes

Use Wine 1.1.34 or newer to install the game

The game can only be installed using Wine 1.1.34 or newer.

However it's recommended to use the latest Wine version to install it without doing anything.


To install the game on older versions you'll have to bypass the "Error 53" problem.

Use the patch from the following link: bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=24845

Then compile Wine and run the game.

Running the game if Wine is built without GStreamer support

If your Wine is built without GStreamer support you can fix the game crashing by fetching ir50_32.dll from the Internet or Windows XP SP2, and putting the library next to the game exe file:

md5sum ir50_32.dll
