Codename: Panzers Coldwar

What works

• installation
• intro videos, cutscene
• playing the demo @1440x900 resolution on low details
• audio using ALSA full hw. acceleration
• rendering, visuals are okay (except shadows; they're blocky)
• saving and loading
• mouse & keyboard
• changing the screen resolution, detail level etc.
  

What does not

• subtitles and the loading bar are missing on the briefing screen without native gdiplus.dll
• performance is slow (even on the lowest details)
  

Workarounds

Additional Comments

The demo will install a bunch of d3dx* and xact* libraries by default; actually, only native d3dx9_36 is required to start the game. Native gdiplus.dll is needed otherwise text and the loading bar are missing on the briefing screen. Performance: slow (maybe my hardware can't cope with it) Stability: no issues AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ Nvidia GeForce 250 GTS / driver 260.19.36 3 GB Ram Kernel 2.6.37
