Selected Test Results

What works

Almost everything.

NOTE: I initially had some issues with movement "stuttering" which appears to be a problem with the latest version of X.org included with ubuntu 9.10. Going to the ubuntu keyboard settings and turning off key repeat is a workaround that solved this issue.

What does not

Mouse turning appears jumpy. This may be related to the keyboard "stutter" issue. Turning using the keyboard is smooth.

What was not tested

Additional Comments

Generally works well. Playability is sorely affected by the mouse 'stutter', however. (turning a corner can become vey tricky when a small turn flicks to a U turn). A workaround for that is needed, or an update to the X server.

HowTo / Notes

Note about setting game resolution

Information courtesy of Dan.

"There seems to be an issue currently with the ingame resolution options. If you change them, then click apply, it will reset the resolution back to before you changed it and tell you to restart. When you restart, the resolution won't have changed. To get it to change you have to set it to the correct resolution, apply, set it again, and then quit the game with the options menu still open."

Possible Fix for shaders (specific to NVidia cards)

Information courtesy of Tremblay:

In the registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\OpenGL, have the string value DisabledExtensions set to:

GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object GL_NV_register_combiners GL_NV_register_combiners2 GL_NV_register_combiners3 GL_NV_texture_shader GL_NV_texture_shader2

(basically list each extensions with a space between each)

I can then set the in-game shader option higher than low with bumpmaps.

I think you *could* leave out GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object, I put it there because it helps World of Warcraft.

Jeff has offered another work around:

Run 'CohUpdater.exe -usetexenvcombine' to run in a low graphics mode that allows use of the costume selector and mission architect.  Beats adding / removing the registry keys, and it'll usually retain your old graphics settings.  Just make sure you don't have any level of antialiasing enabled (2x, 4x, etc) otherwise there'll be graphical wackiness
