Dungeon Siege II

What works

Main menu, character, movies, sound and the game mostly.

What does not

In game menus are glitchy; Info dialogs don't have back backgrounds (making them near impossible to read), the only some item images show up in the inventory, the background of the inventory is on and off and the main character portrait doesn't show up.

As said before, enemies do not fall after they die; they just stand and look at the selected character.

Some spells act odd. The fireball spell doesn't hit the enemy, it just shoots downwards at the ground. I didn't test higher level spells.

Additional Comments

1. Download the native mfc42.dll and place it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

2. Install it using the command

wine Setup.exe

(Make sure that you properly described your cd-rom letter in the winecfg---> drives button) 

2b. If you have for e.g. 4CD version and have problems with installation process (installer don't recognizes second cd in the drive) try to copy all 4 CD into one folder and then install. It installs but there can be some errors with game's working.

Another way is to make CD images and then push the install button.

3. Open up your terminal and use the command and type in Dunegon Siege 2 game folder

wine DungeonSiege2.exe

and you are ready to play.

When the intro video's(Microsoft games, dungeon siege 2 etc.) don't work fluently, try to return to the desktop and shut down some no needed process's.
