Additional Comments

Game starts up properly. However the graphical performance is throughout pretty bad while the sound works mostly flawlessly. The game runs with 10 - 15 fps. Switching the performance of the CPU or GPU doesn't help much here. If I change something in the graphic settings section, the game seems to run smoothly for about 3-4 seconds and then begins to stutter again. However, all of this problems may be related to ATI's fglrx driver. Activating or deactivating special graphics like blur or hdr doesn't change much in the performance of the game. ------------------------------------------------ The mouse is escaping the window and makes it impossible to rotate the view further than 270°. "MouseWarpOverride = force" solves this problem but locks the mouse pointer to the center of the screen, so the navigation through the menus is possible only via keyboard. ------------------------------------------------ Closing comment: As other UnrealEngine3 based games, this one doesn't run with ATI fglrx drivers that well too. Overall the game runs stable but with the poor performance its hard to play. ------------------------------------------------ Game settings: - tested various resolutions from 640x480 to 1280x1024 - all available graphic options set on the lowest setting possible Wine settings: - window mode 1024x768 Specs: - Wine 1.3.23 - Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS - Linux-Kernel 2.6.32-31-generic-pae - Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3,16GHz - 4GB RAM Mushkin XP2-8500 1066MHz - ATI HD4870 512MB (using official "ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series" driver Release 11-5) - Window manager: tested compiz and metacity without noticeable performance changes
