What works
Again, installation, and installation of the 1.1 patch, works perfectly. If the CD is not present when attempting to start the game, the 'No CD present' popup works just fine.
What does not
Again, the game itself does not start, at all, and there is no obvious indication as to why.

Additional Comments
The wine processes start, and invoke the game executable, but the processes just stop and exit very quickly - maybe two seconds. Again, the major difference between Zeus and other, functioning, software that I spot is this line in the debug output: warn:seh:setup_exception_record exception outside of stack limits in thread 0009 eip 200091d6 esp 0016919c stack 0x232000-0x330000

Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
EDIT: Newer versions of wine (tested 1.7.37) do NOT need the following notes.
(Tested under wine 1.3.18) Fresh installation with virtual desktop enabled. Note that the size of the virtual desktop can be set in "Wine Configuration" in the "Graphics" tab.
The first time it is launched, Zeus starts into fullscreen mode with resolution 800x600.
1) If the size of the virtual desktop is larger than 800x600 you'll see a black screen. Try to select windowed mode (F5 key).
2) If the size of virtual desktop is 800x600 then you'll not
see the black screen but F5 key doesn't switch the game into windowed
mode.
3) If the size of virtual desktop is 1024x768 and you see a
black screen press F7 key (this will change the game resolution to 1024x768
fitting the whole wine virtual desktop).
4) If the size of virtual desktop is 1280x1024 or larger then you can use F6 or F7 and then F5 keys to
play in windowed mode at the two resolutions supported by the game (=800x600 and 1024x768).
These solutions can be used with Pharaoh (and its expansion) too.
EDIT: Newer versions of wine (tested 1.7.37) do NOT need the following.
Throughout wine version there have been mixed results when running the game fullscreen or changing resolution and sometimes even windowed mode. To avoid all these problems, you can run the program in a virtual desktop.
On the terminal, type:
winecfg
1)Adding the application on winecfg
First of all, we should add the application to the list so that
changes on wine settings don't affect any other applications. Click on
"Add application..." and navigate to the Zeus executable.
