What works

Interacting with objects

Interacting with creatures

Importing creatures

Sound

What does not

Applets still can't connect to the main program (OLE32/MFC problems)

Workarounds

Wine 3.3 is finally able again to at least start Creatures 2.

You still have to run the game in Xephyr, because of the 16bit color requirements and you have to make sure Wine is using GDI as its DirectDraw implementation (OpenGL will just crash the application)

What was not tested

All the applets (since they can't connect)

Hardware tested

Graphics:

  • GPU: AMD
  • Driver: open source
