What works
Menu is fine, does not stutter. In game is great. Controls are great. Installed fine. Both patches 1.2 and 1.3 installed ok. Bink movies occasionally crash the game, but they work about 80% of the time. Located multiplayer servers, but did not join a game.
What does not
Sound does not work in the menu or in the game, only in the movies.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Netplay.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
Runs great for me, just need the sound to work to play it.

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
