--- Comment #33 from Roderick Colenbrander thunderbird2k@gmx.net 2008-08-16 10:58:22 --- The game seems to be asking for a pixel format with 8x multisampling support. On linux the nvidia drivers only offer upto 4x using GLX (nvidia-settings offers higher) while on windows the drivers offer at least upto 16x using WGL. The game doesn't check for other formats.
First of all it is stupid that the game expects 8x to be around. It could in theory also be a Wine bug as perhaps the call is less strict on Windows.
