Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR)

On November 9, 2010, in playable games, by Necron99

 

STATUS:Playable Steam Store Page: click here
Wine Version: 1.3.6
Windowed: YES Full-screen:NO<
- -

NOTES:
I had to run KOTOR in Windowed mode in Wine to get it to work. I used winecfg to emulate a virtual-desktop.  You can run the game without virtual desktop mode – though ATI cards seem to have problems. When I try this the game plays in a window anyway…

IN-GAME SETTINGS:
I set the game video resolution to 1024×768 – anything higher caused the screen to go blank for me, though the cursor was visible. This happened even with higher Wine desktop size settings. (ATI Card)
– I also had to turn off “Frame Buffer Effects” and “Soft Shadows” or else the screen flickered so badly it was unplayable.

On my new NVIDIA card I could enable the frame buffer effects + Anti-Aliasing, though soft shadows was not available…

RUNNING THE GAME:
Star Wars: KOTR launches from the Steam client in windowed mode just fine and all videos play though to menus. I started a quick character and was playing in no time. Everything appears to work 100% with the above in-game settings.

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 :)
