not working under actual wine

be aware that you might have to downgrade wine.
It didn't work with the actual wine (04/2017) but with an old version (in my case to 1.7.17, just out of a mood) it worked fluently.

Have you tested multiple wineprefixes? I haven't experienced any issues myself. If you believe there is a regression, please look into it and report it!

well, I would have deleted my previous post right after posting, but I couldn't find a button for that.

No, I didn't use any wineprefix.
I installed it via PoL (yeah, that was one of the reasons why I wanned to delete my poste on winehq), trying scripted and non-scripted ways, and the best I got was a black screen but with game sound and mouse klick feedback and everything (but sometimes it also crashed while installation). So I searched for solutions for hours and days. and then somehow, based on some recommendations from Anno1604 (wasn't it called like that? anyway), I came to the idea to try other wine versions. I chose 1.7.17 and it worked just fine. If I just had tried that while installing, I would have finished quite a few missions more by now!

Since you do have the only "support" for the gog version (my original Gold Edition ist recently out of reach), I thought I might be doing well in posting my experience here, assuming that it should be the same with direct wine installation.

What do you mean about the regression? how should I look into that and report it? Since it is an old game and not supportet under win10 either I shouldn't be surprised that some DLLs from actual wine versions might be different.

PlayOnLinux is not officially supported. Please don't post unless you have tested with vanilla Wine as well.

And, FYI, PlayOnLinux's "virtual drives" are just another word for wineprefixes.
