------- Additional Comments From alex@thehandofagony.com 2006-26-07 11:01 ------- The game needs to be started from the Settlers 2 root directory (the one with bin/, data/, uninstall.exe etc.). In this directory, run it with 'wine bin/s2dng'. Does it work for you now? It works much better in Wine 0.9.17, by the way.
Although the menu works, it hangs when starting a game. I managed to get around this by setting the overall graphics detail to 'low', but when the game started, much of the view was black.
I have changed the bug report to reflect these issues, as although the initial reported bug is invalid, these issues also prevent the game from working properly, and they seem to be related to shaders (at least the problem with black areas).
To sum things up * The gameplay does not start unless graphics detail is set to 'Low' * Much of the screen is covered with black
