--- Comment #5 from Bahd Grien badgreen@ymail.com 2009-06-03 10:23:09 --- Problem still exists with Wine 1.1.22. Upon attempting to run Freedom Force via Steam, a popup dialog box appears saying, "Installing Microsoft DirectX for Windows (Step 1 of 1), next another popup titled "Alert", saying "alert: init renderer," appears.
Upon clicking Ok, Freedom Force closes, and Winedbg does not start.
