Unreal II: The Awakening

What works

Everything that I tested.

What does not

UnrealEd, but it has its own Wine AppDB entry.

For some reason the keyboard input seems to be shifted for me - the game thinks that 'd' is 'f', s' is 'd' etc. It's easily worked around by going into the key bind menu and remapping your keys. Entering things into the console seems to output the correct keys, however.

Also, it might take a few tries for it to capture the keyboard. After starting the game it might not register pressing the escape key, but alt-tabbing back into it usually fixes it.

Additional Comments

Works perfectly, albeit with a few annoyances. If you don't run this on a virtual desktop, it will by default launch with 800x600 resolution in fullscreen, something Linux doesn't appreciate. Furthermore, it applies gamma correction to the game which sometimes persists after you exit the game (this problem also happens on Windows), and in case that happens, you can run UnrealEd and close it, it should reset it. The performance is also very smooth. Using the Community Edition.
