If by that you mean setting OffScreeenRenderingMode as specified at
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys , changing settings makes no
difference.

First - install Mono (instead .NET) via winetricks, then try run
"Videosetup.exe" in Sabouteur directory. And then run "Saboteur.exe".

After installing mono2010 and running wine VideoSetup.exe I get

Method '<Module>:Direct3DCreate9 (uint)' in assembly
'C:\windows\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D\1.0.2902.0__31bf3856ad364e35\Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll'
contains native code that cannot be executed by Mono in modules loaded from
byte arrays. The assembly was probably created using C++/CLI.

So ...unable to continue... is NOT bug in wine. Try install Mono2008. Mono2010
does not work.

You're right, mono2008 does allow me to configure the video settings. However
starting up the game still fails.

What about DirectX? Try download standalone files through winetricks, you can
look at my settings of D3D in win. register in appdb test results - blue-ray
disc version of Saboteur (little mistake from me, I have DVD version) .

I have GT440, that's similar card as yours I think, and if I set all efects to
low, the game is playable, but I have problem with keyboard - it seems it´s
pushed the key "down arrow" all the time, mice seems to be ok.
Sound is crappy or no sound, but I think it´s pulseaudio issue - sound is
faster and distorted from ver. 1.4 of wine in all games I have....I´m waiting
for wine 1.5 but if the sound issue will be still the same, I will try wine
1.3.28.

Sorry for my english, I´m from Czechia..

Hm, GT220 is similar to GT440..GT210 has only 64bit memory bus, don´t know if
it will be enough for saboteur in linux.

Actually the game box lists geforce 7800 gtx as a minimum requirement, so that
may very well be the case. It fails to start even with minimum detail.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years.
Is this still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine?
