--- Comment #3 from Béla Gyebrószki gyebro69@gmail.com --- That function in gdiplus.dll is still not implemented in Wine-10.0-rc4.
However what has improved a lot in Wine over the years is that the game no longer gets stuck on the "Building the town..." screen, but loads much faster.
On a 6-core Ryzen 5 CPU and with an old Wine-6.15 it takes more than 4 minutes to get past that screen. In 10.0-rc4 it is done in ~40 seconds. For comparison, with native gdiplus.dll it happens so fast that you hardly have time to read the text.
