--- Comment #7 from John Cooper loofers@gmail.com 2009-06-17 23:19:36 --- OK! awesome. After a bit of stupid frustration on my part, I got it fixed (via the OffscreenRenderingMode = backbuffer hack as mentioned).
What I was messing up was that I was making a KEY named OffscreenRenderingMode within the Direct3D key, rather than making OffscreenRenderingMode a STRING within the Direct3D key (folder). I'm including a screenshot of the key I created in regedit in case anyone is having the same problem and wants to see how to fix it. (wine regedit from a console, then create the "Direct3D" subkey in the "Wine" key, and create a string titled "OffscreenRenderingMode" within that key, modify it, and put in the value "backbuffer".
Since this fixed it, should i still install wine with debug symbols and get a crashdump without the registry change?
My kingdom for a regression testing tool that basically automates the process for me! :{
