--- Comment #5 from Radosław Ciechowski wilczur102@o2.pl 2009-01-13 11:55:11 --- I can confirm this bug, however I manage to get main character rendering working. First of all I tested diffrent OffscreenRenderingModes. With backbuffer game doesnt start, with pbuffer game starts but there are lots of graphic glitches including main character rendering but also many others graphic bugs, with fbo its almost perfect, but main character rendering is broken. Next thing I tried was switching UseGLSL to disabled. When I did that game doesnt start, but when I switched it back to enabled (without changing other settings) game starts and main character rendering works !
I think I know what could be possible reason of that. Game has no options to change graphic details, also there is no option to do it from launcher etc. however some graphic settings are stored in .ini files (home/user_name/My Games/Rise of the Argonauts/LiquidGame/Config) so probably game changed some settings when I tried to run it with UseGLSL set to disabled. In order to have main character rendering working you have to set permission of .ini files to "read only" so game wont change it again.
I guess it might be only 1 setting or maybe just few settings that are resposible for broken rendering of main character. If someone could compare the .ini files and find which setting is resposible for that it that could be helpful for solving the problem. I could do it myself but I dont have enough time now.
So conclusion: bug exists I can confirm it (Wine 1.1.11, Nvidia GeForce GTX 260, 180.22 drivers - latest stable drivers), but if you want to play the game just do what I did and it will be working.
