1 year ago @fhuewhd We've been looking into ways to mitigate it from multiple angles since Wine refuses to fix the issue on their end that we flagged up with them. My recommendation would be to use the test menu level select, not the debug menu. If you don't have access to this, open your Bionicle.ini and check the section under [Misc]. Look for a line CheatMenu=LEGOTester, if you do not see this present, add it and save your ini. You should see a level select appear instead of the usual front end when you launch the game.
I can't get level 2 to work, which seems to be usual with Wine (playing the Rebuilt version on Linux with Wine 7.0).
Anyone know, is there a workable way to skip ahead to level 3?
Using "Warp to area" and "Change character" from the debug menu doesn't quite do it. If I do that, Pohatu appears with an 8-dot-long health bar and a bunch of masks that I'm not sure should be there yet (in fact, the same masks are there if you warp to the beginning of Level 2 and switch to Gali), and the dots from the Earth Elemental are still there, and after fighting a few Rahi, the game crashes in a very weird way - the "camera angle" suddenly tips up into the sky and sticks there, so it's just a sky with clouds moving and a black polygon of some sort sticking up at the bottom of the screen. Picking "Quit Game" at this point is followed by it crashing with message "Unhandled exception 80000000 at 7bc52b80".
