--- Comment #2 from Béla Gyebrószki gyebro69@gmail.com --- Still present in wine-1.7.50-194-g99ecebe
I tried the game in Virtualbox, but the game didn't offer to choose between software and hardware renderer, it always used the software method and I don't have native Windows installed to test with.
Setting compatibility mode to Windows 98 in Wine doesn't help, the game still crashes.
