Bug ID: 45742 Summary: Sniper Elite V2 has no sound Product: Wine Version: 3.9 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: noonetinone@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Some time between the 3.0 code freeze and version 3.9 Sniper Elite: V2 has lost sound. The game was last known to have sound in wine staging version 2.21. The last of the years staging patches. Sadly the game also has some other issues not related to sound. In my testing of wine releases, early 3.x builds are unable to run the game at all. The latest bleeding edge versions 3.12 & 3.14 have the problem of missing textures for objects and walls, thus making the main menu unusable.
All that being said, I think the more serious issue and one that had really bother me personally is the audio difficulties. Missing sound completely is one that affects other titles.
I will keep testing earlier wine releases and try to get as close to version 2.21 as I can. More info is forth- coming.
