Summary: Ballance hangs on rendering a specific effect Product: Wine Version: 0.9.22. Platform: PC URL: ftp://ftp.avault.com/demos/ballance_demo.exe OS/Version: BSDI Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: daniel.skorka@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de
Both the demo (see download) as well as the full version suffer from this. In this game, you control a ball. When this ball runs into a powerup that gives you another ball, the powerup is shown to burst (it is represented as a soap bubble). At least, this is what happens under Windows. In wine, the beginning of this animation is rendered, then the game hangs. There is an odd workaround: When this happens, change focus to the terminal from which you started the game. Hit CTRL-C and return to the game window. The game continues normally.
