Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In

What works

• Installation.
• Playing the game.
• In-game movie.
• Sounds.

What does not

• Impossible to move the mouse freely either in the main menu of the game or in-game: The mouse pointer seems to be confined to a region and cannot move beyond. (Maybe bug #30123 or #6971 ?).

• When run in Wine's full-screen mode, the game window automatically minimizes when the workspace is changed. (Bug #37937). It is then impossible to restore/activate it! (A fatal error occurs: "Couldn't flip. DirectX error message: DDERR_SURFACELOST").

Workarounds

• To solve the problem of confined mouse pointer, mouse-warping needs to be forced:

  $ wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Wine\DirectInput" /v MouseWarpOverride /t REG_SZ /d force /f
  

• To prevent the game window from auto-minimizing, run the game under Wine's virtual-desktop mode:

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

What was not tested

• Everything else.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

• I am not sure if in-game music is supposed to play. If it is, then I heard nothing. (As noted above, sound works.)

• The following messages appear on the console, and except for the last line, the messages pertaining to "ddraw:d3d_device7_SetClipStatus" are repeated several times:
