--- Comment #12 from Patrick Hoskins captlogic@gmail.com 2007-12-15 17:49:42 --- I also have the problem of 'flickering' display when the in-game rendering control is set to hardware. When run from the terminal I get a long stream of the following output repeated in time with the flicker it seems.
fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x1162e8): semi-stub err:d3d_surface:surface_prepare_system_memory Surface without memory or pbo has SFLAG_INSYSMEM set!
I'm using ubuntu gutsy with wine 9.51. My video is geforce fx5500 pci (not pci-e). I'm using the nvidia-glx-new driver.
I just installed simcity4 so I don't know if the problem existed in previous versions of wine.
