--- Comment #16 from Rico kgbricola@web.de 2012-09-07 03:22:20 CDT --- Well, yeah compiling libX11 without libxcb support isn't easy these days. But I think the gateway (X11-xcb) is broken. It would prove, if your problem and my problem have the same source, nothing more, which till now is just a guess. As it seems the problem is not in wine, it is in libX11 and thus technically UPSTREAM. We take this bug to cover information about the problem and to catch dupes.
I think building without xcb won't help anyone, besides you cold try the game and it may work. As of #14 there it looks like are some real problems with the way the gateway works.
I think there are 2 solutions for us: 1. fix libX11-xcb gateway (doesn't seem to be easy) 2. use xcb directly (not sure if that is better, but we may give it a try)
For users: 1. use wine-1.5.9 2. use wine git & revert the problematic changes 3. use WINEDEBUG=+synchronous or LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT (both may or may not work)
