What works
The demo is perfectly playable in a single player mode, multiplayer seems to work too.
What does not
There is some serious problem with window management. If the game window looses focus for some reason, the game pauses, hides its window, and then it's impossible to bring the window back to continue playing.
This problem also prevents changing screen resolution in game options. A workaround is to edit Scripts/PersistentSymbols.ini manually.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Network play was not tested extensively, due to small number of hosts and players online.

From now on, please submit only tests that contain multiplayer tests. Single player is known to run well. You may still submit your test for single player, if there are special instructions to follow for certain platforms, under special circumstances etc...

for those who have problems with non-existant Z-buffer. The Serious Sam engine doesn't seem to specify that it really needs a Z-buffer and hopes for the standard Z-buffer depth of 16 bits. This is not quite correct behaviour and doesn't work with wine-0.9.57 and upwards.
To fix this open the ingame console and type:
gap_iDepthBits=24
ApplyVideoMode()

EDIT: The demo works perfectly for me (wine-0.9.58)
