Hello.

I created a script to install a RTS from winXP-era called Cultures 2 Gates of the Asgard. The script itself works (the instalator window flickers for some reason though) but once you run the game it does not render right. Instead of the game filling the entire screen, it only makes a small window and the rest of screen is your desktop in a shape of an reversed "L". But once you press the Print Screen button on your keyboard the game window goes to normal fullscreen.

The script (no dependencies I could think of so I left the section where I would normally write them down blank):

And here is the debugger output:

I suggest :

  • Wine 2.03 -> 2.22 (usually better)
  • POL_Call POL_Install_directmusic
