--- Comment #2 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2012-01-13 23:55:37 CST --- Still present in Wine-1.3.37 and with Nvidia driver 290.10.
The demo available on Steam is the same version as the full game and the problem can be reproduced with that: http://store.steampowered.com/app/31410/
Steps to reproduce the problem with the demo (Steam): 1. Install the demo via Steam. The game needs certain native components (see comment #1). You can install them via winetricks or let the Steam installscript do the job. 2. Set openal32.dll to native (bug #20799 ?) 3. In the launcher make sure that shadows are enabled. 4. Start a new game and begin driving. If you drive straight ahead you will soon cross some railway tracks and you can notice that the game begins to slow down noticeably. At some point the game may hang completely.
