--- Comment #29 from hardpenguin hardpenguin13@gmail.com --- @Gijs - can you please upload the screenshot of it working fine? The main menu does not count. One needs to start the gameplay: observe the in-game characters walk and enter the initial meeting.
I used the same game build as in my initial report: Airline Tycoon Evolution 1.03 in Polish. Wine 6.10 on Debian 10. The bug is still here, default fullscreen or Wine emulated virtual desktop. No fonts rendered.
I can also confirm that using DxWnd.exe to force the game to run in 16 bit mode solves the issue. Forcing the game to run in a window is not necessary.
