--- Comment #28 from Johan Palmqvist johan.palmqvist@home.se 2009-06-29 18:17:17 --- I got the game to run on Wine 1.1.24 and NVIDIA driver 185.18.14 by replacing Drivers/dx7z.dll with dx8z.dll (renamed to dx7z.dll) from the following archive:

It gives a lot of artifacts and gamma settings needs to be reset (I used nvidia-settings for that) to see anything. I got far enough to start driving and it would probably be fully playable if graphics was ok. Mouse and joystick input worked out of the box.
Many people seem to have problems with this game on newer Windows systems too so I'm not sure this will ever be playable on Wine without a rewritten dx7z.dll.
