So far I am having trouble getting either of these to work. I am using a 32-bit wine prefix. Attempting to run the .exe always fails, resulting in the screen resolution becoming 640x480 upon SOF.EXE throwing the error. Anyone have any insight on this?

clarry: As expected, GOG haven't fixed the GL extension string bug in SoF2 (I didn't seem to be affected in SoF1). So you need patch it yourself:

dd if=/dev/zero of=SoF2.exe bs=1 count=1 seek=987627 conv=notrunc

sha256sum SoF2.exe (after tweaking):
2729b68fe5a36d44a8816e3dfd1f47d2089b5f9aea573785a9450d100312e049 SoF2.exe
This is very helpful, but unfortunately I don't know my way around hex editors like I should. Is there a pre-patched .exe available for download somewhere? I googled it but I'm not finding anything.

Also, for anyone who is interested, the way I got SOF 1 to work was by going to the following link and reading comment 22. Until NVIDIA issues a fix for this, this workaround seems to be effective.

clarry: I posted this in another thread, give it a try and tell me if it works for you.

It does! Thanks for that, clarry! Now I am off to figure out how to get the resolution to 1920x1080. :)

For anyone else with this issue, I can confirm the fix in this thread did the trick. No hex editor needed - just run the dd command above.
