    Stronghold Crusader works quite well on my A110 under Wine - a good game but...

    Could anyone advise how to make it preserve the aspect ratio (i.e. not stretch to 1024x600 but keep to 800x600 with some remaining space on side/sides)? Now it stretches, wouldn't say it looks terrible but still...

    Run winecfg, select the graphics tab, and turn on virtual desktop.

    Already tried that, it works OK - but is there a way to have the same effect in fullscreen mode (with empty space to the side/sides)?

    As far as I know there's no way apart the virtual desktop 'cause the stronghold crusader 3d engine stretch the 2d graphics in fullscreen mode... indeeed with a virtual desktop you simulate a "normal" 800x600 desktop...

    @Vdromuz
    It should run finely with wine version 1.0 that can be found in the repositories...
    Anyway take a look here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=14081
