The VC++ runtime installation seems to work OK with alpha 6.7. Great work. :) Another thing that might be nice, is a wide screen resolution option during installation. But that's not very important as it can be configured afterwards.

I could write a guide, but it would be a lot simpler with some modifications on the installer. Sduibek, any possibility of getting the Visual C++ 6.0 runtime included with the installer? Another great improvement would be a "OSX/WINE friendly installation mode" that skips installing Sfall, and...

I think http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403 is the official source.

It was already pretty clear that they should be ignored, I just wanted to make sure since it's a different environment. :) I installed the package vcrun6 with Winetricks UI. I'm not quite sure what it contains, but it seemed to fix the issue. So now the only thing missing is Sfall, because...

I tested, and the installer seems to work fine now with the library installed. It's relatively easy to install it to WINE through Winetricks, but it'd of course be simpler if it was included in the installer. What about these errors? Any importance? Applying patch to master.dat... wine: could...

Oh wait. I have the WINE logs here. Sed is clearly missing a library, that should be an easy fix. Do you recon the errors with tpatch.exe or (GoTO.exe mean anything or should they be ignored as advised? wine: cannot find...

That sounds like a very plausible explanation. It could be that the sed.exe requires some library or runtime that doesn't exist in the WINE environment. The mentioned test installer would totally help in uncovering the issue.

Fog Of War. The darkness. The cave was completely lighted so I could see all the enemies from the start position. But that would probably have something to do with the missing variables. I'll have to check how the files install on a Windows machine, maybe there's an extraction error. The game...

The crash in game preferences happens even if I disable the hires patch completely, so that doesn't seem to be the reason. --EDIT-- I examined the crash a bit on a debugger, but all I can get is that a pointer seems to be zero, causing the crash. Initializing the pointer to readable memory...

Nope, the issues still remain. Sfall works though, because if I don't remove those files, I can pick different display modes. Dx9 mode doesn't actually have either of the mentioned issues (lazy updates, glitchy palette), but the video clips are horribly corrupted. Another issue, independent of...

Similar issues here too. I'd like to note (especially to Sduibek) that the current OSX version from GOG.com is built on WINE and is thus basically the same as the Windows version. This is apparantly because the OSX port is built for PowerPC architechture and doesn't run on new versions of OSX...
