--- Comment #49 from Jonathan Strander mblackwell1024@gmail.com 2013-03-13 23:04:33 CDT --- Aren't these really two separate bugs?
One is a graphical distortion (fixed by StrictDrawOrdering, which is a workaround not a fix of course), and the other is a crash.
Anyway, I've tested this now with 1.5.23 and 1.5.16 (in a clean prefix). 1.5.23 had graphical glitches (no matter the settings) and would display only the background after the initial loading and then appear to freeze (but not crash). 1.5.16 had slight graphical glitches during the initial load (the copyright credits to be precise), but the menu and game all played normally... as long as StrictDrawOrdering was enabled. Otherwise it had wild distortions.
On Ubuntu Linux 12.10, using an Intel Q9550 and a GTX 560Ti.
