The installation and making it work is almost identical to Syberia except that you need to install one extra item.
Make sure you inserted CD-Rom 1
Start Crossover Games Setup
Go to add-remove tab
Select install software
Select Install other game
next, next, next
On the question install into select new bottle, name it syberia2 and set it to win98
Press next, give it a few moments and the Syberia installer will appear over the Crossover installation wizard
Select install, next a few times, select full install and let it install
Halfway through it will ask for CD-Rom 2, on the Crossover installation wizard press eject CD, yes your sure, insert CD-Rom 2, make sure its mounted and continue the install
Once the installation is complete it will ask for CD-Rom 1, again eject using the Crossover installation wizard and insert CD-Rom 1 again, make sure its mounted and press ok and finish
Press finish in the Crossover installation wizard and go back to Crossover Games setup
Select manage bottle
Select syberia2 and select install software
Select show all service packs and dependencies
Select Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Redistributable press next and install it, then head back to the main Crossover Games setup.
Select syberia2 and click configure
Select control panel, winecfg, graphics, select emulate virtual desktop and set the size to 1024 x 768 and close the configuration.
After this the game will start and run as expected, you will only notice that at the main menu the sound will hang, but it is only at the main menu, everywhere else it works just fine, so try to ignore it for the few seconds that your there. Also when the games fades out and into a new screen your whole desktop will fade.
The game will requier CD-Rom 1 mounted to run.
The reason to set the virtual desktop is the same was with Syberia, that if you dont and you run it fullscreen you might experience game lockups which in my case even made my whole system lockup. You wont experience any of these issues in a virtual desktop setting.
