--- Comment #4 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2012-08-05 02:30:37 CDT --- It is still present in Wine 1.5.9. In 1.5.10 the game hits bug #31407 for me.
I noticed that on my current system (Fedora 17, Nvidia 304.32 drivers), the previously mentioned workaround (ddr=gdi) no longer works for some reason.
