[edit] Issues
- The installer does not work with Cedega version 4.2.1 & 4.2 but does work with 4.1.1
- The EULA is not displayed with default settings. You will need to copy two dlls into the ~/.cedega/Evil Genius/c_drive/windows/system32/ directory. These are riched20.dll and riched32.dll Note: This is only needed to make the EULA show up. The installer works fine if you do not place these dlls in the system32 directory.
- The game has screen size problems if you use a display resolution of 1152x786 you will be unable to move your cursor to the left part of the screen. This does not happen with 1024x786. I have not tested with any higher resolutions.
- The game does not start with any version of Cedega below 4.2.
- After you select "Play Demo" the game starts but it will have texture issues. It seems as if someone switched the lights off but game characters seem to display ok.
[edit] Full Game
- On a quick check, Issues are similar, needs 4.1.1 to install. Runs with 4.4, but is unplayable due to graphical oddness. I'll check more if i find time.
- I tried installing it with Cedega 5.0 and 4.1.1 in it but it will not even install
