Lately I had a load of issues trying to get Stalker to work under wine. At first, Got nothing a blank screen.
Did some googling, and didn’t come up with much. A few cryptic messages about using -nointro and -nodistort in the CLI.
After a while I gave up. And then another week passed and I decided the reward is too great but long story short, I want to include my own method here. Mostly so I don’t forget how I did got it to work smoothly.
