Summary: Flickering/Flashing Menu Screen in Steam games
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: leviwins@aim.com
I am experiencing issues with all Steam games that involves the menu screen to
flicker and appear every second for a split second during gameplay. The game
loads up and runs perfectly fine, but the menu screen flashes over the gameplay
ever second, making it hard to play. At first I figured it was my refresh rate,
so I set it to 60 in the game and the game launchers command line, but the
problem still persisted. I tried running the game in a virtual desktop, but
that caused my computer to freeze. I then tried running it windowed, but the
problem still proceeds.
I am using wine-1.0.0 and Ubuntu 8.04. I've had this problem with DOD: Source,
Half-Life, and Deathmatch Classic. I haven't ever experienced this problem
before, so I'm quite sure that it is Wine.
I have:
1 gig of ram
1.8 Ghz Processor
ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 128 MB graphics card
