Guys/GMs hello!

I was wondering if any of you have played soma on Linux (via wine)? If not i would like to share my experience,
and a couple of problems im trying to solve...
The wine desktop virtualization is able to run the full screen mode client of soma regardless of the color depth
your environment has (worked in either 16 or 24bit color depth for me). On the other hand, the window mode has
this pink-erratic behaviour if u are in a color depth different than 16bit. Thus, 16bit color depth setting is a must
have from the start of the X11 environment of your linux distro in case you want to play windowed mode.

A problem that is impossible for me to solve is that i'm loosing all the texts (any kind of chats, items' captions, notifications, etc) on the game everytime i click on an npc or quest log item, and the client has to be
restarted in order to get them visible again. If any1 knows how to solve that please share :-)


Sincerely,
Ark
