Selected Test Results

What works

Requires native devenum.dll and quartz.dll library overrides.

Requires winSPMBT Options to use Windowed mode with GDI.

Installs and runs in Wine 0.9.43, but the mouse cursor does not show, however the buttons underneath do highlight and operate correctly.

Map editor appears to work but has the same mouse problem as the game.

What does not

Mouse cursor does not work in stock wine 0.9.43 with devenum.dll and quartz.dll library overrides.

This problem was fixed using a patch similar to the mouse patch that works in Dark Age of Camelot.

With the patched version, the game runs well, mouse and sound work. There appears to be other similar mouse patches in Bugzilla - none of those were tested.

Additional Comments

With the stock Wine 0.9.43 and the two DLL overrides, I rated it Bronze due to the missing mouse cursor. However, once the mouse-hak patch is applied, the mouse works and the game is quite playable, which would move it to Silver or Gold status.
