--- Comment #20 from James proglottis@gmail.com 2008-04-17 00:27:14 --- Even with GLSL disabled I can still wait in the first training track for a few minutes and have things disappear. I even tried copying my game install to a fresh wine prefix. I suppose seen as some people have this working it's even more likely to be a driver problem, or at least a non-wine problem.
I know it worked in windows xp when I had it installed, on the same h/w. No idea what version drivers I had.
Right now I'm using the same as in my last post, "Nvidia driver 100.14.19 64bit (8500 GT) with xorg 1.3" but now with wine 0.9.59.
I might try down/up-grade my video drivers see if that brings any joy.
