Darwinia

If Steam is not installed please use the following guide

When Steam is installed go to My Games, right click on darwinia and click install. Then say okay to any following windows.

Once Darwinia is downloaded open Wine File (in Fedora it is applications>system tools>Wine File) and browse to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOURUSERNAME\darwinia where YOURUSERNAME is your steam username.

Open preferences.txt and find the line that says

SoundLibrary = anyvalue where anyvalue can be anything (it should be DSP)

simply change the line to say

SoundLibrary = null

Additional Comments

Game crashes if Realtime Sound Effects enabled. Overriding `dsound` as "native then builtin" fixes this, and the sound in game works as expected.
