Why is this bug STILL considered minor?
There is NO workaround for ATI card owners to play this game at all, the appropriate rating would be GARBAGE (so, overall probably SILVER, as it works on *some* hardware). How can this keep getting a GOLD rating when it's impossible to use since its release for this portion of the wine user base?
Should we split off a new bug, so developers stop being confused?
Summed up: NVidia, old cards: works with UseGLSL=false, relying on NVidia extentions NVidia, new cards: works "out of the box"
ATI, *any* card: no known way to get it to work, UseGLSL=true with proprietary FGLRX drivers gets *close*, but doesn't show 2D elements (EULA, login) rendering the program useless (as we cannot get beyond the waterfall intro scenery)
I totally agree with this and I'd like to suggest another thing: as this Nvidia/not Nvidia card thing is related to a whole lot of other apps than this game alone, maybe it's about time to modify the submission forms in the appdb, forcing the submitter to specify his/hers graphics card manufacturer, model and, possibly, drivers. Given that, maybe producing an average rating of the app functionality within wine based on the card manufacturer would make thing much clearer.
