Commandos 2: Men of Courage

What works

> Everything that matters

What does not

> Videos playback (native amstream/quartz/dsound did not fix this). They are not a big deal though, and consider they don't work in windows either.

> Some sound effects do not play at all in many cases (gun sounds, base alarm, inventory sounds)

Workarounds

What was not tested

> Multiplayer

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

> Running with a native dsound.dll completely solves the sound effects issue (though the version pulled by winetricks causes the sound to break even more). I used version 10.0.10586.0 - 32 Bit (x86) from this website. Put it in C:\windows\syswow64\ and added an override in winecfg.

> Widescreen patching is working and highly recommended

> To avoid fullscreen resizes between game and menu you can either emulate fullscreen window in winecfg or enable the games windowed mode

It is recommend to use Wine 1.8  

1. To enable movie playing, you need to install additional libraries: 

   $ winetricks amstream quartz dsound

2. Pressing the ESC button during play to get the menu the game is not shown full screen anymore. To fix that I changed a few settings in the Wine configuration (tab Graphics)
- Enabled:
    Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows
    Allow the window manager to decorate the windows
- Disabled:
    Allow the window manager to control the windows 

Emulate a virtual desktop (is default)
