Created an attachment (id=31127) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31127) screenshot
It's been mentioned in a few bugs, but I don't see a bug for it, so here we go.
First, make sure bug 11354 is fixed (e.g., that you're using git / 1.3.5 / applied that patch manually).
Then, create a character and choose city Neriak, then launch into game. Go to the city, and move the camera around. Compare to the attached screenshot.
This is on an nvidia GeForce 480.
The buildings in the city should look like boring old off-white stucco, but instead they look like a distorted funhouse mirror, with hundreds of distorted reflections of your character.
To work around this, turn on Shader 3.0 in options (click on EQII logo in lower left -> Options -> Performance -> Shader 3.0) and restart the game. According to the mouseover text, this requires cards with "600 PS instruction slots".
