Summary: Batman: Arkham Asylum demo slow frame rate Product: Wine Version: 1.3.0 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.batmanarkhamasylum.com/demo OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
One has to jump through the following hoops to run the demo (props to the appdb howto):
wget cdn2.netops.eidosinteractive.com/batmanarkhamasylum/BMDemo_installer.exe rm -rf .wine sh winetricks gecko dotnet20 sh winetricks dotnet30 sh winetricks gfw wine BMDemo_installer.exe cd .wine/drive_c/users/$USERNAME/My\ Documents mkdir -p "Eidos/Batman Arkham Asylum Demo/BmGame/Config" cd "Eidos/Batman Arkham Asylum Demo/BmGame/Config" wget www.glio.net/UserEngine.ini wget www.glio.net/UserInput.ini wget www.glio.net/UserGame.ini cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Eidos/Batman\ Arkham\ Asylum\ Demo/ wine Binaries/ShippingPC-BmGame.exe
The game runs, but slowly (on my e8400, it ran at 10-20fps at the default settings during the initial combat scene). http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10355716-1.html suggests it can do a lot better.
