--- Comment #20 from bugzilla-dch00@sneakemail.com 2009-01-05 08:47:15 --- I'm running Wine 1.1.12 under Ubuntu 8.10 on a HP Pavilion a1600n AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core Processor 3800+ 2.00 GHz 1024MB of Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 6150LE graphics card (using the latest NVIDIA driver)
The "box around the cursor" problem is gone now, sort of. Instead of being a constant box around the cursor, The cursor is now clear, BUT, I get a flickering intermittent block that is a copy of the cursor and the surrounding area about two inches above and just to the right of the actual cursor. It's not always there. It's not there at ALL when the game starts, but very shortly after play begins it starts to show up, and within a minute or two it's flickering fairly regularly. transparent, you can see through it, so it doesn't make the game unplayable. Its just a constant flickering motion above and just to the right of wherever your cursor sits.
It's MUCH better than before though, this is only mildly annoying, but it IS playable. thank you.
