The main bug introduced by this patch was fixed a while ago. Are you sure the problem is still the same? I cannot see any GetDC failures in the log fwiw.
Are we certain that's the issue here?
Frank Engelhardt wrote this a while ago:
However, I was able to fix this issue by simply deleting the "Game.prefs" file, which is located somewhere in the [USER]/Local Settings/Application Data directory.
Can you see if that is still the case? If this doesn't help, can you try to revert the patch manually to make sure it is still the cause of the failure?
That was the first thing I tried. It didn't work. Even with a fresh wine prefix, only build 3189 runs for me. The more recent builds have the black screen problem.
