--- Comment #12 from Matthew Krafczyk krafczyk.matthew@gmail.com --- So, I've done exactly that for my previous installations. I've checked and the windows/mono/mono-2.0 directory exists in my wine prefix and everything.
After talking to the openSUSE guy, it sounds like he just had a distro update and during the update it asked him if he wanted to install mono. Since it worked after the mono (and distro upgrade) installation, he assumed the improvement in the program was linked to mono.
Given the results from the file command that I mentioned earlier, is there any reason to believe at this point that the program is using anything mono related? I'm pretty sure at this point that mono has nothing to do with this.
In addition, I tried it on another machine, this time a debian installation with a radeon gpu but no luck. I guess this means it isn't graphics driver related.
Btw, thanks a lot for your help.
