--- Comment #49 from Andrew Fenn andrewfenn@gmail.com 2008-08-20 05:02:14 --- Created an attachment (id=15500) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15500) How spore is randomly brighter on startup (if text is grey, no UI shows)
I think that another problem exists somewhere as the user interface doesn't load every time.
You can tell when it is not going to load as the text of the first screen looks grey instead of black. (see attachment) Everything looks brighter then it should be and the EA logo doesn't load.
This happens a lot but mysteriously I have noticed it happens less after compiling and installing wine? Anyway, it's purely random if the UI shows up or not.
From my testing if you don't use the -safe option the UI won't show at all.
