Remove OpenAL library from game directory
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Original\ War/OpenAL32.dll
Voiceovers in cutscenes missing, fixed by removing OpenAL32.dll
Real classic. The only problem is no audio in cinematics (had to remove OpenAL32.dll) and cannot play mods
Had to remove OpenAL32.dll from game's folder, cause cinimatics use it
Proton 5.0-9, no problems at all with widescreen resolution, worked perfectly with patch 3.0.8.246 (released 10.07.2020)
Game displays only in letterbox, couldn't fix it with tweaking options.
Game is letterboxed for some reason instead of fullscreen
Played through the entire american campaign - worked flawlessly. No problems encountered.
Update about the Russian intro: It's an ASCII art demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpp054kbCLM), not a normal video. Videos work, but not this. But if I run in Wine with no configuration this intro works too, so I guess it's related to proton and/or proton config after all (I'm the same person who wrote the last 2 reports on this game).
The game itself has some critical bugs (I'm assuming this was worse before the current maintainer started patching it): The Russian campaign intro doesn't work, and it has crashed for me once after completing a mission and not choosing to continue to the next. Both of these issues and others have been reported by Windows users: https://www.bugs.owsupport.com/originalwar/issues/222 https://www.bugs.owsupport.com/originalwar/issues/171 (though this issue is marked as fixed and was supposed to happen only in directdraw mode). Direct Draw is apparently mostly unmaintained and 16 bit, and kept only for backwards compatibility with older hardware. Original War runs in OpenGL (either 2.1 or 3.0 with "Single resolution" disabled).
Works flawlessly with default settings (OpenGL 3.0). Direct Draw didn't work, but there's no reason to use it.
UnknownWhen you start the game in launcher first time it may throw an access violation error, when you start it second time it works flawlessly. Intros in russian campaign are not displayed, but i am not sure whether it's game fault or Proton fault. I run it with OpenGL 3.0 renderer.
UnknownUnknownPlayed through 2 first missions, everything worked perfect
