--- Comment #13 from Louis Lenders xerox_xerox2000@yahoo.co.uk 2007-09-13 02:01:20 --- It looks like this bug is gone with the newest ATI-driver 8.41 + Rodericks ColenBrander "ATI-card fix" here:http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-September/043815.html
There are some other drawbacks while starting the game, but it looks like this bug could soon be abandoned. For now i suggest to leave it open, and once things have stabilized a bit i'll close it.
