--- Comment #1 from Ole Laursen olau@hardworking.dk 2009-12-12 13:02:32 --- I've just tried 1.1.34, same problem. I'm on Ubuntu Karmic Koala by the way. If I disable sound, then it works. But of course for this particular game, they forgot to add subtitles if there's no sound. Argh. Still hoping you can fix it.
