Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed

What works

The game installs and runs with a default Wine + Steam install (after disabling dwrite.dll and the in-game Steam overlay as usual). I watched the intro video and played a number of maps. The frame rate at 1920x1080 is quite good on my laptop's GTX660M graphics (Nvidia driver version was 340.65). I did experience a crash half-way through the main intro video on my first run, but have not been able to reproduce it.

What does not

The configuration utility, which apparently requires installing dotnet40 (which I didn't try). Note that you can download settings.xml from https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=45388 and edit it to your liking, and then save it as My Documents/SART/settings.xml in your prefix user directory. Hence the configuration utility isn't really important anyway.

Additional Comments

In case it matters, I always had winecfg set to Windows 7 for the prefix I used. The prefix was also 64-bit. Wine was built using the 1.7.33 tag without any patches. I also had some other games installed in the same prefix, although the prefix was free from hacks or DLL overrides, so I doubt those had any impact on the game working.

The game itself runs fine with the default settings.
If you want to change the settings, you have two options:

• Run winetricks dotnet40 to use the settings application
• Download the settings.xml from here and put it into My Documents/SART/settings.xml
