--- Comment #26 from Tomek Kaźmierczak tomek-k@wp.eu 2012-02-02 13:46:47 CST --- Fixed in 1.4-rc1 (was still present in 1.3.37). Now it's possible to run the game in hardware accelerated mode.
The performance of WineD3D is terribly poor, however - the game runs smoothly in SW mode, even with highest gfx settings. In order for it to be playable in HW mode, one has to turn off almost all gfx options and play in the lowest screen resolution. But this is not related to this bug report.
As for me, the bug can be finally closed.
