Game: "Gray Matter" Point-and-click adventure game developed by Wizarbox and released in 2010. GOG.com version.
Game settings: Run config.exe (located in the game folder) to adjust the settings. Vertical sync activated. Hardware cursor activated. Shadows and Mirrors set to High. Rendering set to Highest. Quality set to Highest.
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS 64bit. NVIDIA Driver Version: 535.161.07.
Wine: wine-9.4 development version. Default Wine configuration, unmodified. Clean Wine directory.
Description: The game launches, a new game can be started and the intro cinematic is played without any problem. However, when you actually start playing, the game crashes randomly after a few minutes. Sometimes the crash is preceded by graphics bugs with parts of the screen turning black.
Workaround: Installing DXVK using winetricks solves the issue.
