--- Comment #3 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2011-09-18 13:13:06 CDT --- This is still a problem as of wine-1.3.28-308-gae80430: Freespace hangs after starting.
I came across a similar problem when trying to start Master of Orion 3: after launching the game the screen stays black, only the mouse pointer is visible. Unlike Freespace, MoO 3 doesn't hang, it keeps running, but nothing can be seen except for the mouse cursor. Bisecting led me to the same commit [7e3985e1fea60da73bae2b9465b94e5d110909fc].
A workaround for MoO3 (which doesn't help in the case of Freespace): - use a virtual desktop, sized 800x600 (that's the game's own resolution). - in fullscreen mode the desktop must be set to 800x600 before starting the game, otherwise the black screen issue can be observed.
Fedora 15, Gnome 3, Nvidia 250 / driver 280.13
