Some gameplay of Dawn of War Soul Storm at 1920x1080 (fullscreen) on Ubuntu 12.10 64Bit with max graphics settings, via PlayOnLinux (wine).

Since THQ has died, I thought I would go through my THQ game's catalog and see what I could get up and running in Wine. Soul Storm is the first game to run, and play perfectly.

I'm surprised, even though it's an old game, it still runs superbly. I run the game at max graphics settings, everything is on and set to High. I play through the tutorial in this video, so you can be sure I've gone over all the necessary game mechanics. Everything works, and it looks like I'll be able to finish this game by playing it in Ubuntu!

I had to disable "Unredirect Fullscreen" in Compiz Config Settings Manager to record this game, otherwise the recording would flicker. I recorded the video with 60 frames per second, to try and make the video as smooth as possible.
