I installed Hard Reset last week so I could test it in PlayOnLinux.

I figured it out. Sometimes Linux doesn't make any sense, specially with Windows programs.
Anyways, when I originally installed Hard Reset I tested it in a Virtual Desktop.
After it runs successfully I will then try it fullscreen. For some reason, after updating PlayOnLinux, the fullscreen would error each time. Even after all the steps mentioned above.

So I tried installing and running it in Virtual Desktop again.... it worked!
Then I ran it in fullscreen and it runs GREAT!
Such a strange bug....

Wow. That is odd. This one for sure could be filed as a bug report. Go ahead and do that, so that if there is something that one of the devs can fix, they will (if its not already being fixed for the all new POL5)

Well, I tried running it in Winetricks too and received the same problem.
I bet if I had just tried Hard Reset in fullscreen mode with PlayOnLinux 4.1.9 initially, I would have had this problem too.
So I don't think its PlayOnLinux at all.
When I looked it up on WineHQ's several people claimed that it ran perfectly like in my experience.
I guess worse case is you play it in Windowed mode in a virtual desktop and match your monitor resolution to appear like fullscreen.

Yeah. Some of the AppDB posts are very ambiguous.

True, but I always go there first before installing a game. It usually helps me to know what to expect and what packages do and do not work.

Same here. Its a very good reference to see what others have done and what may or may not be required.

I had a strange problem last night when playing Hard Reset...
Its running great and I'm killing lots of robots when I started to noticed textures being completely black. A I continue they get worse... to the point where one of the robots is totally black... no textures at all.
I'll show you...
How do I post a screenshot?

The fix? I just quit the game and re-launched.

To post a screenshot, you will have to host it somewhere like google drive or something, then post the link with the reply box's image feature.

or use url and /url in brackets. POLs forums and most of the site accepts BB code.

Ok, thats what I thought... I'll try it later
Thanks

That small robot has no textures at all.
In the first screenshot, all of the black surfaces are supposed to have textures

I finished off a HUGE boss and the next level was running a little bit slow. Or should I say choppy.
So I logged into Openbox, launched PlayOnLinux, launched Hard Reset and it ran perfectly!
