Tomb Raider: Legend

What works

• Installation.
• Playing the game.
• Sounds.
• Music.
• Logo-animations.
• In-game movies.

What does not

• Switching workspaces when game is run in Wine's full-screen mode, caused it to get paused and auto-minimized (bug #37937).

• Enabling the Next Generation content the performance to greatly degrade, as can be seen by the extremely slow movements.

• It is not possible to change the setting of Fullscreen Anti-Aliasing: The option is simply greyed out. (Bug #34625?).

Workarounds

• To get rid of problems in Wine's full-screen mode, I had to run the game in Wine's virtual-desktop mode.

  I ran the game using the following command in the CLI:

  $ wine explorer /desktop=,800x600 trl.exe

What was not tested

• Everything else.
• Playing the demo through the end.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

• The noisy effect which was formerly seen (lines, dots), looked somewhat like bug #38760 or bug #40518. However, it was actually a long-standing bug in Mesa (bug #13728), and has been fixed!

• If it was not for the sluggish performance, I would have rated it gold.
