Selected Test Results

What works

- Running the game.

- Playing the game.

What does not

- Sometimes, game will not display properly / recognise keyboard events / crash on keyboard events. This can be solved by playing with Fullscreen option in game and Window manager option in winecfg. Once the game has been correctly launch, it will work.

- One crash occurred but could not be reproduced.

- DirectX rendering option (main menu is not rendered, menu entries play the correct sound when hovered but no text is displayed, and clicking on them doesn't work).

Workarounds

What was not tested

- Beating the game.
- Multiplayer.
