--- Comment #8 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2010-01-17 16:13:58 --- I now tried out the French demo. From the little testing I did, it seems to behave much like the German retail version. What's new is that in wine-1.1.36, Ankh2 becomes playable at the lowest in-game settings -- except for one issue: all inventory items are black, so 1.1.24 is still better. The lowest settings are: - no full screen effects (seems to cause black Deck 13 logo); - middle level of details (high seems to cause black characters) - low or no shadows (works best in Ankh1, higher levels cause incorrect background textures in Ankh1). "UseGLSL"="disabled" or disabling the pixel shader was not needed anymore! I'll retest the other Deck13 apps I own when I'll have time again.
So the short summary that's awaiting confirmation is that this issue may be fixed except for the black inventory items which is a regression.
