--- Comment #20 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2010-12-15 03:41:08 CST --- in comment #13 I confirmed the crash. Now I can say it's gone in 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. Switching resolutions works (640/800/1024).
So I say: the crash bug is fixed.
Whether in full screen mode the intro images and animations are displayed or not depends on the previously stored resolutions: present in 1024x768, absent in 800x600 and 640x480.
In virtual desktop mode, they are almost always ok, but it seems the desktop size set in winecfg influences results. Starting with non-matching default desktop size does not work perfectly: rct2 may use the upper left 640x480 of a 800x600 Wine desktop window only and leave the remaining area in a splendid green.
What I've not tested again is: did the intros render in all resolutions prior to the offending commit?
