--- Comment #9 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- The problem here is that the avi files from the game are compressed in RLE but they don't have a palette. So wine allocates a 0 colors palette and uses it blindly.
Actually I think this was done on purpose and Windows probably rejects such videos too. I think that because when I make wine msrle codec to report error in such situations the video is correctly played as if the application is doing the work.
