I took a break for 20040213, but here's the latest edition of my testing efforts. Same rules still apply in my selection efforts: All games tested are freely available as demos or F/OSS games on the Internet and they don't work right.
Since my last report: - Bugzilla bug #2011 on Austerlitz was closed - 2 patches were generated by Jason Edmeades - 3 Bugs Filed - - #2056 - Dominions II Demo Does Not Do Full Screen Correctly - - #2128 - Remote Assault Demo Fails To Run - - #2129 - Austerlitz Demo Generates Unhandled Exception
Austerlitz Summary ------------------ http://www.breakawaygames.com/downloads/austerlitz_demo.exe
With Jason's patches for bug #2011, Austerlitz runs but has revealed more bugs. There's a screen drawing/refresh error and it's possible to cause an unhandled exception. Full report here: http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/Austerlitz/austerlitz-20040309.html
Dominions II Summary -------------------- http://www.shrapnelgames.com/downloads/dominions2demo_install.exe
Dominions II still has problems with full-screen mode where the KDE kicker bar is visible over the game and the mouse insistently returns to to the center of the screen when moved. Full report here: http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/DominionsII/dominionsII-20040309.html
Remote Assault Summary ---------------------- http://www.shrapnelgames.com/downloads/rad50.exe
Remote Assault fails to run. I believe this is a downgrade of it's previous position. I owe a +loaddll,+relay log to the bug report. Full report here: http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/RemoteAssault/remoteassault-20040309.html
The War Engine Summary ---------------------- http://www.shrapnelgames.com/downloads/TWEDemo.exe
It hangs on execution and I havn't figured out where to start filing bugs. Hopefully I'll figure out something better to do with when the next version of Wine is released.

If you're interested:
Half-Life - works well with wineoss but dies with winealsa. A bug was filed, info submitted but no feedback yet. I may try another cvsupdate and see what happens.
Soldier of Fortune - runs okay, a little slow but that may be due to the sound problem. With Wineoss no sound at all. If you Alt-tab away you get sound!
Soldier of Fortune II - wants CD inserted for check. When that is done it doesn't see the CD. The drive is setup correctly because installs work.

Sound like copy protection...
I'll look at 1434 and see what's going on then.
SOF II worked under Winex some time ago so it will run but they must do something different. I'll check the message but I thought it couldn't even find the CD to check.
