Created attachment 78659 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=78659 Wine 10.8 console log
Empire Earth, and its demo, cannot restore from being minimised (alt-tab out of the game). The screen either remains black, or the mouse pointer appears with distorted graphics behind it (like seen in Bug 35882).
Also, tabbing out again sometimes keeps the black screen visible, sometimes it doesn't.
Either way the game has to be killed to restore normality. It's not clear if the game itself has locked up, or just the graphics.
Workaround is to start the game in a virtual desktop. The game escapes the VD when starting a campaign, but it can be minimised and restored.
NOISE WARNING: when starting the demo for the first time the music was deafening! Lower your volume just in case.
