HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

 Admin note: the instructions below are extremely old and may not apply to current Wine. Follow at your own risk.


Be sure to use Wine version 0.9.16 if you are using the CD (you can join a multiplayer game without the CD).

When start the game, the screen is black. Switch to another program (Alt + Tab) and then back to the game, and it should appear.

Elements such as taskbars designed to cover other applications are not hidden when Warlrods Battlecry is run in full-screen. This can be fixed by not allowing the window manager to control Wine applications (can be changed in winecfg), or by changing the taskbar's options so that windows are allowed to cover it.

Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working, place the DLLs in this archive in Wine's windows/system32 directory. Then, start winecfg and add dll overrides (native, builtin) for the following DLLs: dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast and dpwsockx.
NOTE: the game freezes when exiting a multiplayer game.
