Are you using any kind of winetrick install script and/or PlayOnLinux usage ?
Nope, fresh wineprefix, only native d3dx9_36/d3dx9_28 and xact_jun2010 were installed.
Please find hereunder my remarks and feedbacks.
[…] I don't have Windows installed on my machine so can't tell how the game behaves under real Windows when it is started in windowed mode, therefore I'm leaving this bug unconfirmed until someone can confirm that the problem exists under Windows too.
I do not see this behavior with a Windows 7 box with latest BB EL patches, see http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2742: starting videos are shown with sound and game can be played without any problem.
By default the game would start in windowed mode and with cinematics enabled. When starting the game in Wine the splash screen is shown then I can hear the music from the menu, but no visible window is created, the game is running somewhere in the background and I can't switch to the game window.
Can you please explain more the « splash screen is shown » part ? Are you talking about « launcher » that allows you to choose between 4 options before entering game.
A splash image is shown in the middle of the screen (640x400 px). I don't see any launcher here. I tested with the Steam version.
