--- Comment #5 from Chris Wales chris@chrobis.com 2009-07-25 11:42:47 --- D'oh! Data is:
OS: openSUSE 11.1, x86 Graphics card: NVidia GeForce FX 5200 (256MB) NVidia Driver: 173.14.18
Wine version: 1.1.26 Compiz/3D: Off
The game (and demo) include a file called "sfc.ini" in which one can change settings such as resolution, use of a z-buffer etc. Details of how to modify those are here:

I've tried running the game at 800x600 (default), 1024x768 and 1280x1024 - in all cases, the same distortions appear.
The graphics hardware (and the rest of it!) is all much newer than than game itself, and easily surpasses the required specs at the time.
I've tried running the game under different modes (Win 98 upwards) - again, same results.
