What does not

Additional Comments

DirectX was not installed. The game was run in "DirectX 7" mode. Running it in "DirectX 9" mode causes the game to crash. Bug #25433 was found to exist and the application had to be terminated. To prevent the application from crashing/hanging after launch (following the logo movies), Uncheck "Load Textures On Demand" from the "Video" tab in the configuration window. Alternatively, either set `use_ondemand_textures = 0' or `use_ondemand_textures_mt = 0' in the configuration file (`rgl_config.txt'). To prevent the problem of illegible characters and in-game objects, `d3dx9_42.dll' had to be dropped in the game directory, and set to "native". It is disturbing to know that the game had worked well in Wine v. 1.7.13, without using the above DLL.

HowTo / Notes

Low FPS Solution
If you're getting low FPS with Warband, try the following: Enable single threading. Open the "~/.wine/drive_c/users/your_user_name/My Documents/Mount&Blade Warband/rgl_config.txt" (change the path to reflect your Warband installation) configuration file and set "force_single_threading" attribute to 1.
