Created an attachment (id=13804) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=13804) Whiteness in Sim City 4 Deluxe city view
Sim City 4 installs and runs in software rendering mode but has severe graphical glitches in hardware rendering mode. In hardware mode fog/smoke is rendered in a blocky manner and the entire terrain is white so it is very difficult to distinguish anything. In addition, rendering performance is very slow in hardware mode. In software mode the game is very responsive. I have encountered this problem in release candidates 1-4. I was unable to install it at all using one of the 9.5x versions so overall there has been improvement.
I have attached a screenshot of the city view which is most affected by the glitch. The cityscape is supposed to be mostly green and brown. Region view has blocky fog but no whiteness.
