eiii: I do not get that far. The game stops on the start screen (after the into movies), without getting to a menu. I use SoulbringeVCnoeax.exe. When I use the other exe files nothing happens at all. Is there a way to change the rendering mode from outside of the game?
The game comes with a launcher (I think it's just named "Launcher.exe") that I believe needs
winetricks mfc42 to work.
In that utility, if you go to the "Video" tab, you'll be able to select the game's renderer.
Let us know how that works. Good luck!
muntdefems: Well... partially. It worked with a couple of games but it didn't with the one I was interested in the most: Pid. Interestingly, the games with which the gamepad worked well were games that came with installers, while Pid I got it in a Groupees bundle as a simple zipfile. Is it just bad luck, or can this have something to do with the gamepad not working?
Hmm. It's likely that the installers may have come with scripts that properly configured the game to recognize your gamepad. Have you tried another gamepad? Possibly one that supports DirectInput?
