Year 2005
Developer Studio II Software GmbH
Graphics API
Audio API


Installation

Installed via Steam using Proton 9.

Issues

  • Videos not playing:
 - Install Winetricks and use it to add LAVFilters for proper video playback.

Graphics Configuration

  • Added dgVoodoo2 wrapper with the following DLLs:
 * `D3DImm.dll`
 * `DDraw.dll`
  • Set DLL overrides in Wine configuration to ensure dgVoodoo2 is used.

Audio Configuration

  • Placed DSOAL in the game folder to restore EAX support.
  • Override `dsound` using Wine configuration.
  • Moved remaining DSOAL files to `APPDATA\Roaming` as required.

Tips

  • Always test after each change to isolate what improves compatibility.
  • Keep a backup of your working configuration in case updates break functionality.
