FreeSpace 2 Tips

The GOG.com release of this game installs cleanly into it's own bottle,
using the winXP bottle profile. At the end of the installation do not
launch the game -- just exit the installer instead.

This title requires two native fullscreen resolutions - 640x480 and 1024x768.
If you have a widescreen or 16:9/10 display type or otherwise cannot use these
fullscreen 4:3 aspect resolutions, you will have to run things in windowed mode
(Emulate a virtual desktop) for the game to start/run.

To do this, use cxsetup to configure the bottle, and then use winecfg to configure
wine to run in windowed mode ('Emulate a virtual desktop');


0. Start  cxsetup

1. Highlight the bottle you installed the game into

2. Click on 'Configure' => 'Control Panel' => 'winecfg' -- the Wine Configuration GUI will appear





3. Now click on 'Graphics' tab => tick  'Emulate a virtual desktop'





4. After enabling virtual desktop mode, you will see 'Desktop size' element becomes active => change this to 640 x 480





5. Click on 'Apply' => 'Ok' => 'Ok"
6. Exit  cxsetup


Note: The game will automatically resize the window to 1024x768 once the
intro movie has completed (or you hit the Esc key to bypass the intro).
