--- Comment #7 from Richard Thier u9vata@gmail.com --- I confirm that this bug exists. Everything happens quite literally the same way on my machine and it freezes the very same moment.
I think there is something that triggers the freeze as otherwise before Diego introduce himself I could see the scene characters being animated for a few moments...
Also the game does not freeze completely - just I cannot see what is happening. I can press "enter" several times and hear that diego explains the situation about the Gothic's world and when I finish that talk blindly not seeing anything I can hear that my character moves and bumps into obstacles and such...
So it seems that the gameplay is active after the freeze just I cannot see any change after the introduction of Diego... It actually happens AFTER he tells "I am Diego" and when my character tries to say "I am" and he answers "I don't care who you are".
I was thinking what if it is caused by some menus that might appear so I tried to disable menu effects in the INI file but it didn't help. Also I tried using the game without music and even without sound and it didn't helped if I turned these off in the INI of the game :-(
Either there is something that triggers this frozen screen or it is just triggered by having enough time passed and it is some kind of an accumulating issue that accumulates after throroughly 1-3 seconds always the same moment.
I cannot provide more information than it is already provided by inferrna, but I am using an open source radeon R300 driver on an old laptop and I tried wine versions 1.8 and 2.0 both as I had these two installed on my machine.
I might try to get a saved game at some other moment where there is no talk with Diego. If that works, it must be surely something like a triggered error and if that freezes right after 1-3 seconds I think it must be some general error that accumulates in that small amount of time until there is a complete freeze...
