Total Annihilation

What works

Just about everything.

What does not

Audio is a bit dicey--cuts out every now and then. However, I've found that if you let the between-mission narration complete, it seems to be more stable in the subsequent mission. I've had few problems with it.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Whole game from start to end. I played five Core missions through.

Additional Comments

32 bit install on 64 bit system. Installed DirectX9, directplay and directmusic. Game complains about incompatible version of DX--seems to be harmless. I wasn't able to make a working ISO out of disk1 because of the weird multi-session thing. Perhaps it can be done but I ran out of patience with it. Installer claims it fails due to being unable to find readme.txt--this was stated to be fixed a few versions of Wine ago, but I'm seeing it now. However installation hasn't failed, ignore the message and play! PS tried installing DX5 from the CD, don't bother. I'm also using Playonlinux 4.1.9.
