Avencast: Rise of the Mage

On September 19, 2010, in playable games, by Necron99

STATUS: playable Steam Store Page: click here
Wine Version: 1.3.12
Windowed: no Full-screen: yes

Another game that started working after switching to an NVIDIA graphics card.

WINE CONFIGURATION:
No wine library overrides were required.

RUNNING THE GAME:
The game launches in fullscreen – see below for video issues – otherwise everything else appears to run fine.

PROBLEMS NOTED:

  • FAILED TO PLAY WMV title video + no codec etc… will have to look into getting WMV support. I went to the Avencast forums and found out there is a config utility not shown in Steam.  c:/Program files/Steam/steamapps/common/avencast/Options.exe. You can disable videos from there to avoid the errors.
  • ATI Cards cause character model artifacting and “frozen” models.
  • The game freezes if it loses focus

If you have anything to add to this game test, please feel free to comment. Do post your Wine Version, Linux Flavour and graphics card drivers = NVIDIA or ATI! Help each other out and be nice to one another :)
