--- Comment #4 from Maki Makitk@gmail.com 2008-12-01 21:48:06 --- Problem still persists in wine 1.1.9, although rather than giving a dialog of the crash, the crash just freezes Wine. I am able to minimize the game window, ending up in 640x480 resolution, but the game simply freezes within seconds of getting to the diplomat screen.
In addition, a sound annoyance is found within the screen with the voice soundbytes on all campaigns. Whenever the soundfile for the explanation of the mission, the tutorial voice, and voices for the units in-game and other system voices are played, they will sound off a heavy 'white noise' as if the soundfile was trying to play a small bit of data interwoven with the audio file or was otherwise corrupt. The whole file does play, but it's quite an annoyance to constantly be interrupted with rather painful white noise.
