Bug #: 31844
           Summary: CitiesXL (all versions) needs native D3DXCreateSphere
                    (purist)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.12
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3dx9
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

crashes on startup with 'winetricks alldlls=builtin'; the log says

fixme:d3dx:D3DXCreateSphere Case of adjacency != NULL not implemented.
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x4544d2

This also affects the gamefly download version of CitiesXL 2011 and
reportedly also CitiesXL 2012.

'winetricks d3dx9_36=native' works around the problem, and lets you
get past the intro movie.  (The demo then puts up a dialog saying the
beta is over.)
