Wine now uses build-in XAudio2 by default. Use the latest version of winetricks, it will work correctly with wine newer than 3.5.

To solve the no-audio problem, install xact and xact_jun2010 via winetricks.

winetricks xact xact_jun2010

Wrapper

I know that the game is not fully functional, but I was wondering if someone could upload the wrapper to mediafire or something. I would like to test it on my mac.

shader glitches

no matter if you add alwaysoffscreen or strictdrawordering, some textures are plain black. Imo, the game is not playable that way, so any rating higher than bronze are questionable

working all of a sudden?

I suppose that the recent nvidia update fixed the render-fail.
At least, according to t800, that would be a possible explanation on why the game ran for him.

Could someone add some screenshots for this game running on wine?

not working, 295 driver too on a gtx580 all it does is spamming me with 4 lines of "fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8." every second.
it really needs the PresentEx() otherwise it wont work, looks like a fake!

after some patching and hacking i managed to get it running on 1.3.20, will try to patch and hack the 1.4-rc5 now, unfortunately there is no sound at all in 1.3.20 and the darkness2 isnt even looking for a soundcard (mmdevapi maybe? but there isnt a single fixme/debug info related to sound!) and all it shows is a unavailabe device or something similiar.
