Selected Test Results

What works

Everything! The game launches properly, all cut-scenes and movies are well displayed. No problems with sound, either.

Tips:
- Full-window mode may collide with some desktops or window managers. Emulated desktop with set dimensions is recommended, but not mandatory.
- Game requires Windows Media Player (WMP), otherwise the initial Ubisoft logo movie will not load on game launch and the game will freeze. WMP9 and WMP10 can be installed via Winetricks (packages wmp9 and wmp10, respectively).

What does not

Upon game launch, screen brightness is suddenly reduced and will persist in that state until the game is properly launched once more or the computer rebooted.

Workarounds

What was not tested

The majority of graphics and gameplay settings. Also, I did not follow the story too far.
