The patch works well! Now it starts without errors but then it crashes when exiting!
GyB i can't reproduce the thing you're saying. Menù works well for me and i have no flashes...
Anyway, if this can help you, i've encountered your problem in old wine versions, in particular wine < 1.1.25, where there was no "something very funny..." bug, but playing was still hard with those flashes.
Okay, if the patch works for you, that's fine.
For the sake of completeness: - I tested with the demo version as I don't have the full version of the game - patch applied on Wine 1.5.8 (no PlayonLinux here) - Fedora 17 (x86), Gnome 3.4.2, X.Org X Server 1.12.2 - Nvidia 250 gfx card, proprietary driver 295.59 - ALSA 1.0.25 (Pulseaudio is not running) - gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)
one more note: also tested with the open source Nouveau driver: the originally reported problems (error messages on startup and crash on exit) don't occur in vanilla Wine 1.5.8. On the other hand, the game is unplayable with Nouveau, because models and text are not drawn correctly.
