What works
Game installs and runs. Added live another live (alternate start) mod, confirm mod is working
(skip annoyingly long start sequence and be able to test the game further).
Sound seems to work fine.
Fullscreen mode.
Borderless windowed mode.
What does not
Rendering speed is extremely slow. To get a playable FPS I had to set it down to the lowest possible settings and
run it at 800x450 resolution (lowest). Only at these settings is game responsive.
Constant and serious graphical artefacts on characters (including player character).
Please note that the same hardware (NVidia GTX1050Ti) runs the game easily at max settings with numerous graphics mods under windows 7.
Workarounds
Set xaudio2_7.dll to native(wine).
What was not tested
Playing for more than a few minutes.
Bethesda Mod installer (but nobody uses that anyway right).
Using a mod management tool like ModOrganizer.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
With the 3.0-rc3 (the latest version available prebuilt for Ubuntu) the game shows definite progress since previous versions.
While not playable yet, I have high hopes that it may be when 3.0 is released stable.
Oldrim is becoming progressively harder to make work on Linux due to 32-bit memory constraints and
the fact that the wine versions it runs best under can no longer run Steam. Getting the 64-bit version
running smoothly under Wine would be a godsend.
