--- Comment #18 from Alex Henrie alexhenrie24@gmail.com --- I found that to be able to start, Homeworld 2 on Wine requires either the -nopbuffer flag or the Staging patch from Bug 11436.
However, I can't tell if that Staging patch fixes the high-quality effects too because I don't know what to look for to tell whether or not they are working.
