--- Comment #8 from Stefan Dösinger stefan@codeweavers.com --- DirectDrawRenderer=gdi will only work for games that do not need Direct3D. If you want to work around this bug with a game that needs d3d you'll either have to rebuild Wine with the hack from bug 42002 (attachment 56443) or build mesa with the fix from fd.o bug 99116 (https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/134178/).
It'd be great if you could confirm that either patch fixes this issue so we know for sure if it is the same problem as bug 42002.
