Steam Version

All,

Thought I would give the Steam version a go (Seeing as I couldn't get the StarFarce version to work) and I'm afraid it's not good news.

From the off, the game will not run in a windowed environment for me no matter the operating system.

When windowed, the game will load until it reaches the first video, blank screens, single noise then nothing. If you hit any key or moue you will hear that single noise over and over again with no progress.

Think this one is over my tiny brain.

Any ideas?

I'm sorry Don, but I don't know what the details in that link mean.

Sorry!

That's ok ... it was mostly a bookmark pointer ; it details
that the issue you are seeing, is some kind of winebug that
will be likely present in crossover as well. It also details
a work-around, but that said if you apply the workaround, I've
no idea how the game itself will run ; I don't have this title.

You can try setting the workaround by {custom} crosstie ..see;

The 'ddr2gdi.tie' is the default setting ; the 'ddr2opengl.tie'
is the one you should install/apply to the bottle.

Note that is this is a Steam installation of Cossacks II you
should NOT use the above tie(s) as the setting will then
apply to -all- the games you have installed in that Steam
bottle - another approach is required..
