Hello all, time for a new script ;)
This time I wrote a script for Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic.
There's a trick to make it responsive, wineserver must be given a lower priority(!)
Other than that nothing really special...
Enjoy!

Hi there, what do you mean "wineserver must be given a lower priority"? I bought the game from GOG and used the script but the game is not "responsive" - I can't click anywhere on the game, like to click "new campaign". Thanks in advance for help.

Hi,
I mean what's line 110 of above script.
The script in the repository no longer uses that trick, since in my later tests, going thru the launcher instead of running the game directly seems to have fixed the issue for me.
Maybe I've just been lucky.

I re-added the old way starting the game to the official script as an "alternate" shortcut, do you have better results with this one?

I always open from the launcher and not desktop shortcuts. "Alternate" shortcut in the launcher worked perfectly. Thank you so much for the quick response and action. Let me know if I can help in any way diagnosing what the problem is on my machine with the other shortcut.

Cool :)

I'll leave this alternate shortcut around for the time being then.
