What works

All that I could test so far. Weirdly enough, only works if I have all the settings on max. I can even alt-tab out and back into the game.

 Installs normally, Wine has no problems with ejecting the cds, etc.

What does not

Nothing so far. Have played it for maybe ten hours so far.

Workarounds

What was not tested

  • Multiplayer.

Additional Comments

I only have one minor bug: sometimes, the cursor from the desktop remains visible. Quickly resolved with an alt-tab switch.

HowTo / Notes

Multiplayer via Directplay
Mentioned in a comment by zsolty_szasz:

Multiplayer can work, but requires some setup first.

The problem is with the current DirectPlay implementation. Read here how to set it up: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames

To get multiplayer working for games that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8, place the following DLLs:
dplayx.dll, dpnet.dll, dpnhpast.dll and dpwsockx.dll in this archive in WINE's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) with WINECFG.

HOWTO
In case of any problems be sure to see the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/Infinity_Engine_Games

2015-01-31 Admin note: the following was extracted from a user comment made in 2008 and may not be relevant to current Wine.

cd into the BG-install directory then cd there into temp/

now

"ln -s default.tot default.tot"

which creates a cirular symlink from default.tot to default.tot
