# CHANGELOG
# [Dadu042] (2020-04-23 13-00)
#   Initial script.
#
# KNOWN ISSUES :
#  - Wine amd64 5.0, 5.2: the splash screen does appear, then freeze, then quit.
#  - Wine amd64 3.0.3, 4.21: the splash screen does appear, then freeze, then error window about VC++ runtime (game.dat: abnormal program termination).
#    Tried: dsound, override msvcp71 and msvcr71, audio driver not Alsa, d3dx9_43 + compiler, GLSL, FBO.
#    Tried 32 bits: dotnet40, vcrun2005
#    The fix: create the file 'options.ini'. Trick found (and tested) on Pcgamingwiki.com https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Battle_for_Middle-earth_II
#
# KNOWN ISSUES (FIXED):
