The gog.com version of this title, is a repack consisting
of 3 files..one .exe and 2 .bin files. Keep all 3 files
in the same location, point the cxgames installer at the
.exe file, and the installation proceeds smoothly - be
warned, the full installation requires some 5+gb of drive
space, so don't let that catch you out....
Once the installer completes, it launches a configuration
panel, which appears to be set to 'reasonable' defaults.
It chose the opengl driver, with the 2nd highest detail
settings for this amd64 4400 + gs8600 nvidia card - I
went with whatever it selected. It played the intro video
stuff fine, the user interface is all working (the game
seems to steal mouse focus), but the moment you loaded
a mission it'd crash...discovered it really didn't like
emulated desktop set ON in winecfg, which I routinely
do to avoid complications with twinview...then it worked
and hosed my twinview....what actually -works- here, is
to set windowed mode in the game itself, and it gives
the same result....
The joystick interface works in linux (!!)
