The Scourge Project: Episode 1 & 2

What works

installation via Steam

intro videos

mouse works in the menus

changing the details level

sound, music (only works with ALSA 'emulation' mode)

playing @1024x768 resolution on the lowest details

What does not

- the game becomes unresponsive on the following events:

• on changing screen resolution
• on exit
• frequently hangs if the game window looses its focus

- no audio with ALSA 'full hardware acceleration'

- bug #6971 - mouse works in the menus but always re-centered in the main game ("MouseWarpOverride")

- visual glitches (probably shader related)

Workarounds

What was not tested

Additional Comments

Steam version of the game. The game uses the Unreal Engine 3.0. Requires the following native components: vcrun2005, vcrun2008, xact, physx, DX 9/10 libraries. Without setting ALSA to 'Emulation' mode the game has completely lacks audio. The MouseWarpOverride registry key must be set to 'force' to use the mouse in the game. I can only get reasonable framerates on the lowest details. The game frequently becomes unresponsive....it's hardly playable on the whole.
