Used the predefined installation script for GOG-Sacrifice.

Installation went well after the second try. Not sure what made a difference. The first time just didn't go through.

Game starts up ok, splash screen is nice. In the initial game screen the "blue tunnel" is rendered nicely and fluidly. However the options listing (new game .. options ... quit etc.) is extremely small, like 10x smaller than should be by the resolution. Sorry for no screenshots, don't know how to take em. (The usual SS program doesn't work from within the game.)

I managed to pinpoint the box listing for a new game. Loading screen is great, fast, all good. Inside game, again, all terrain fluent and nicely generated, all sounds ok - except again the text boxes. Extremely small, unusable. There were also ocassionally some black boxes around the first character that comes along in the tutorial.

If I try running the game in Wine 1.6, the initial game screen loads ok in terms of boxes sizes. However, the "blue tunnel" and inside the actual game everything is extremely slowly renderred, with laggy movement etc. Not enjoyable enough to play.

Any idea what's so different between the two wine versions? Should I try and install all the iterations in between, hoping to find one with just the right setup?

Ping me with needed system info if you are able to give a hint how to solve this. Thank you!

The game will not install concern. But impossible to run in full screen or network play.
