--- Comment #1 from Sitting Bull fernando.lagrange@club-internet.fr --- Are you using any kind of winetrick install script and/or PlayOnLinux usage ?
Please find hereunder my remarks and feedbacks.
[…] I don't have Windows installed on my machine so can't tell how the game behaves under real Windows when it is started in windowed mode, therefore I'm leaving this bug unconfirmed until someone can confirm that the problem exists under Windows too.
I do not see this behavior with a Windows 7 box with latest BB EL patches, see http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2742: starting videos are shown with sound and game can be played without any problem.
By default the game would start in windowed mode and with cinematics enabled. When starting the game in Wine the splash screen is shown then I can hear the music from the menu, but no visible window is created, the game is running somewhere in the background and I can't switch to the game window.
Can you please explain more the « splash screen is shown » part ? Are you talking about « launcher » that allows you to choose between 4 options before entering game.
I tested this bug under Gnome 3, XFCE 4.10 and Openbox window managers, the problem exists in Wine 1.4.1, 1.6.1 too. Disabling gameoverlayrenderer or native d3dx9 dlls won't help.
I have to change the settings in ~/BloodBowlLegendary/Config.xml to enable full screen mode that lets the game start, except for a crash which would be the subject of my next bug report. […]
I cannot see this behavior with an Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS box without any winetrick. :-S
Reading this bug report, I realized that I was playing the game in windowed mode, even if I could not see it. I mean that configuration file has windowed mode set and screen resolution corresponding to my entire screen. So that game is not shown into a window but as if it were full screen.
