Blitzkrieg II

What works

• Installation (v1.0).
• Patching (downloaded v1.5 patch), after changing some file permissions.
• Menus
• Playing single-player campaign

What does not

Does not execute without a "no-CD" cracked .EXE, due to Starforce copy protection.

Text elements, most 2D textures, and 3D textures do not display, making the game unusable.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Multi-player, changing game settings.

Additional Comments

The following files must be set to Owner: Access: "Read and write" for the 1.5 patch to succeed. Directory: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Blitzkrieg 2/EXE/bin/ FontGen.exe dbindex.exe B2_MAPEDITOR.EXE GAME.EXE protect.dll When executing, the splash logo "Blitzkrieg II" displays. Then, the program appears to load for a second or two, but hangs (freezes) at a low resolution. -- this can be circumvented by selecting "Emulate a virtual desktop" and "Allow DirectX apps to spot mouse leaving their window" in Wine Configuration.
