Test Results

Old test results

The test results for this version are very old, and as such they may not represent the current state of Wine. Please consider submitting a new test report.

Selected Test Results

What works

Playing the game (campaign, skirmish)

EAX (on wine-staging) works well, meaning 3D positional audio when using headphones

What does not

The main menu / game runs at less than 1 FPS, like a slideshow, due to CSMT (Wine bug 44260). See below for a workaround.

Workarounds

Due to Wine bug 44260, the game will have horrible performance with CSMT on (~1 FPS, basically a slideshow). You must disable CSMT in the registry / winecfg when running the game.

After CSMT was disabled, the game ran perfectly smooth.

Note: this issue was only reported on NVIDIA GPUs with proprietary drivers, it's possible you might not need this workaround.

What was not tested

Multiplayer

Hardware tested

Graphics:

GPU: Nvidia
Driver: proprietary

HowTo / Notes

Disable CSMT

When you find your game to be performing poorly (you will notice on the main menu), follow these steps to disable CSMT:

run regedit e.g. by typing wine regedit
travel to HKEY_CURRENT_USER ? Software ? Wine
Right-click 'Wine' and select 'New' and 'Key' and name it 'Direct3D'
Within 'Direct3D', create a new DWORD value, name it 'csmt'
Set it to 0

More info about registry keys can be found here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Useful...

Game fails to start

If the game fails to start, try running 'DKII-DX.exe' instead.
