Is it your intention that the reviews are primarily a place to review how the game performs with Barrel/Wine? Is that an appropriate place to list added steps for trouble free installation? I wasn't sure if they were meant to review the game itself or how the game runs with Barrel.
Well, the reviews should show the general experience the user had playing the game on his Mac. So I wouldn't expect to see a good review if the game had 5 FPS, but if a game performed well, it would make sense that a user would rate it 5 stars and comment on what a good game it was, if you understand what I mean. Both are acceptable.
I'll hold off on a review (do those upload yet?) until I hear from you about the best way to communicate the info I'm talking about here for other users.
Yes, they do upload fine. There is just no interface for showing them yet.
I did upload the wrapper. I keep forgetting the term you use for them! I'll remember eventually... Creating the account and doing that worked fine. I noticed some options there but I don't see how to get back to them now. It seems like once you upload the option to do so and the rest that goes with it disappears? I forget now what options I saw there with the login. Maybe they only apply when there doing that?
"Recipes", as the wrapper is not actually uploaded anywhere. Just information on how you made it run. You can go to the preferences by going to the application's menu at the top and clicking "Barrel > Preferences"
The only thing I had to do before running it, it was to install via winetricks the dx9. Which brings me to my question: The game's installer offered the option to install dx9 included in the game media, but I didn't check it during install. Do you recommend (generally) to choose the dx9 bundled in the game's media or is it better to skip it and install it via winetricks ?
Thanks a lot! You should generally avoid installing the native windows directx libraries, if possible. A game will generally perform better with wine's internal .dll's if they successfully work. Of course, if the game doesn't work with wine's libraries, you should then try native ones.
