Hi Lukasz, i can't confirm this. NFS4 works for me. Tested under 1.1.27, 1.1.35 and also 1.1.35-364-g9dc584d.
You tested it wrong way, but I didn't give any steps to reproduce so I'm here to blame. Anyhow I run NFS4 with hardware acceleration and not on software renderer. I admit it works with software renderer as you've said. But try this steps and you won't run NFS4 on Wine higher than 1.1.26:
1. winecfg -> Win version: Win 98 2. wine setup.exe -> Full install 3. winecfg -> Win version: Win XP 4. download unofficial patch from http://www.hsscoring.com/download/NFS_HS_SP_Setup_(V3.0_beta_1.63) 5. run it and select only "EA's 4.50 Patch" and "NoCollision & NoCD" from "Patched nfshs.exe file" 6. wine 3DSetup.exe -> choose Software Renderer 7. regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed High Stakes -> set "Thrash Driver" to "d3d" 8. Copy d3da.dll (92.0KB) from "C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Need For Speed High Stakes/3dSetup" to "C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Need For Speed High Stakes" 9. wine nfshs.exe
It works on Wine 1.1.26 and not in 1.1.35
