Syberia

What works

The game can be installed and launched.

It can be played (but with a workaround).

What does not

1. When you start the game, you have only the sound, without the image (black screen).

2. Since Wine 7.4, the game crashes frequently, preventing you from finishing it.

Workarounds

1. Black screen:

* Before starting the game, open Winecfg and place the Winecfg window on the right side of the screen
* In Winecfg > Graphics > Window Settings, uncheck "Allow the window manager to control the windows" and click "Apply" (do not close the Winecfg window)
* Start the game, then return to desktop using Alt+Tab (do not close the game)
* In Winecfg, check "Allow the window manager to control windows" again and click "OK"
* The game should automatically return to full screen and the screen should no longer be black.

2. Crashes: downgrade Wine to version 7.3.

What was not tested

I couldn't finish the game because of the frequent crashes.
