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.

I confirm that the patch proposed in bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8854#c48 resolves the issue with keyboard. (Tested on wine-git, cloned May 14th 2011)
