What works

The installer works perfectly, as does the intro. Sound works fine too.

What does not

As soon as the game required keyboard input, it fails as keyboard input for some reason doesn't work, but mouse input works. There's no debugging output indicating anything related to keyboard failure.

HowTo / Notes

Keyboard input

You can fix the keyboard input using a lib/wine/dinput.dll.so file from wine version 0.9.16 or using a hack mentioned in the comments to bug #8854

Fullscreen mode crash / black box issue

If you are running the game in fullscreen mode ("Emulate virtual desktop" winecfg option NOT checked) and are getting black box with a subsequent crash, check the logs. Most likely you'll find an error line like this in the log:

- If you get an error like "No matching mode found 320x200x8!"

It means you have to configure your X server to enable the 320x200 mode (if your video adapter supports it) using your graphics driver software or by modifying X config file(s)

Try OpenXCom instead
by Ezequiel Ferriol on Sunday June 22nd 2014, 13:39

I tried for years to make this game work via Wine, and failed miserably over and over again.
But finally OpenXCom is released.
OpenXCom is an open-source clone of the original UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com: UFO Defense in USA), licensed under the GPL and written in C++ / SDL. It was originally founded by SupSuper in February 2009, and has since grown into a small development team surrounded by a very supporting community.
But they didn't limit themselves to clone the original game; they also included a THRONG of improvements (including modding capabilities).
OpenXCom is absolutely free, though possession of an original copy of XCOM: UFO Defense Collector's Edition is required. OpenXCom is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
