I was playing Sacred 2 Gold on FreeBSD 10.3 using 32 bit wine 1.9.8-devel. Yesterday I updated the version to 1.9.13-devel and this game didn't start, nor the first Sacred did. I've tried to force reinstall winetricks libraries, but it didn't help.

Other games have been working fine since the wine upgrade, so it's not a general issue.

I removed the prefixes and I'll try to install these two games again. Has anyone else tried them on 1.9.13-devel?

Thanks for the info! Yeah it wouldn't start until I winetricks'd dotnet40.

I just tried my main rig after I got home, full screen worked fine after some weirdness where it put me in an off center 1024x768 first.

Maybe it doesn't like the older nVidia drivers or lower resolution of my laptop display.

Game: Battle Realms + Winter of the Wolf
Installer MD5: c3f1596701053bb4a455b46f7cfd964b setup_battle_realms_complete_2.0.0.9.exe
WineHQ AppDB link: GOG version
Codeweavers link: Retail version

Distro: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Kernel version: 3.2.0-104 (32bit)
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 4670
Graphics driver & version: Proprietary (fglrx)
Wine version(s) tested: Wine 1.6

Install notes: Just install & play. I had to set Direct3D OffscreenRenderingMode to "pbuffer" using regedit.
How well does it run: Almost perfect
Details: Everything in the game showed upside down until I changed OffscreenRenderingMode to "pbuffer" (was previously set to "backbuffer"). Tested with virtual desktop enabled. Game works without, showing fullscreen, but Unity UI annoyingly overlaps it on the edges.

I started having the same freeze problem the next time i tried to play, and there's no Wine debug output when it happens, so I tried some other things. When I turn off "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows" in winecfg, then full screen works consistently. So It may just be some issue with Unity,

I'm done now, I just get obsessive trying to figure out things like this. :P

Replacement thread is up and available to post in. New thread as I was hitting the character limit. FYI, I still need to actually review all the links.

Any new entries should be posted over there, e.g. Sword of the Stars: The Pit - Gold Edition and Battle Realms + Winter of the Wolf.

I am going to request this thread to be locked, but not for a while. Which is part of why I would like to have all the existing entries cross-posted over to the new thread. However I realize that's quite tedious & annoying to do.

Thanks for the reply.
I had that specific PhysX version installed, but it didn't help. I tried to update it using winetricks, but it didn't help either.

I have deleted the prefix. I'll try with a clean prefix when I have the time.

Yes, but you lose fancy URLs, etc that way.

Did anyone try GOG releases of DA: Origins and Dead Space in Wine?

Both seem to run very well so far using Wine Staging 1.9.14, have only played DA:O for about an hour so far though & DS for about 20min

Sounds good!

I'm playing DA: Origins now (Wine staging 1.9.14), and it works well, I only had to install physx. There is one issue though. Once I Alt+Tab out of the application and go back, it becomes all black, and I need to force quit it. Did you experience anything like that?
