What works
Everything, except that which does not work.
What does not
Minimizing the game at all will cause the screen to go completely black. This problem started occurring with the release of Wine 0.9.42. Additionally, this game runs far slower on Wine than it does on Windows. Hosting can be troublesome, as when hosting, players will be unable to join later in the game.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Hosting a LAN game.
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
Would suggest not to use Sidenet with this program as some of its DLL overrides introduce bugs to the running of Battlezone 2.

I needed to set WINEDEBUG="-all" to get this game past the initial Activision bink movie. The installer, and updater (1.2) both worked fine after setting Windows Version to "Windows 98" in winecfg.
After loading, the main menu (pre-game) is very jerky (2 fps perhaps). Once in game, the fps is very smooth (smoother than this game runs under Windows XP actually - no stutter!).
The shadows and other transparent textures seem to be misaligned, and the sound is a bit poppy, but other than that, most things seem to work pretty well.
It might be worth checking out the 1.3 patch at some point. www.visi.com/~nathan/bz2/bz2_13.html
