--- Comment #24 from Alexey Loukianov mooroon2@mail.ru 2011-11-30 01:43:14 CST --- Basing on the info people are posting on various forums I suspect that this bug is somehow related to the OpenGL implementation nVIDIA offers in their drivers for mobile GPU series. I've seen reports from people running Windows + mobile nVIDIA GPU posted on Steam forums about the game crashing at start complaining on failed calls to SetPixelFormat and/or GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex. Unfortunately I hadn't seen any posts from people affected by this problem stating that they had been able to solve it.
Knowing the above and looking at the comments on this bug report makes me believe that most likely this problem is driver-related and not a Wine bug. Still, it isn't confirmed for sure and we've got at least one person who reported this problem to happen with desktop-series nVIDIA GPU (Thomas Luquet with his GTX460). Therefor, despite real status most likely is "NOTABUG" I think that this report should be kept open for a while with "Unconfirmed" status until someone would be able to prove if this is a bug in nVIDIA driver or not.
