World Of Goo Tips

The C4P recipe I have provided enables Emulated Virtual Desktop by default.

Here's why;

The stand-alone release of this title seemingly defaults to a resolution of 800x600.
Not all system setups support this mode when using fullscreen. Also, the game seems
to have a limitation with respect to how it will honor Emulated Virtual Desktop if you
alter the config file detailed below and don't define the same resolution for the
Desktop Size setting in the Wine Configuration tool, you may get unexpected results.


If you wish to run the standalone version with Emulated Virtual Desktop enabled but
at a higher screen resolution, edit the following file (linux path shown);

 ~/.cxgames/World Of Goo/drive_c/Program Files/WorldOfGoo/properties/config.txt

Open that file in a plaintext editor and change the lines ;


<param name="screen_width" value="800"/>
<param name="screen_height" value="600"/>


Change the screen width/height to suit your requirements.

Note: If you change these values to something that's not 4:3 aspect...for
example 1400x900, you will also need to change the following line ;

<param name="refreshrate" value="60" />

For a 1400x900 desktop window, the appropriate value is likely 50 or 51.
It is likely you will need to set desktop size to the same resolution value
of 1400x900 as well...see below...you will know if you need to do this, as
the bottom half of the game screen will be 'cut off' if the values don't match.

2. The game does runs fine in fullscreen @ 1680x1050 on this machine.

  To try this, just disable Emulated Virtual Desktop in Wine Configuration {*}

Start cxsetup (Manage Bottles) -> highlight the bottle -> Control Panel -> Wine Configuration

Click Launch Selected Item -> the winecfg GUI will appear -> Click on the Graphics tab

There you will see the checkbox that enables you to turn Emulated Virtual Desktop ON/OFF

Below that, you will see where you can change the Desktop Size setting (if needed).

Cheers!
