I also experience those glitches in MM7 and MM8 (GOG.com versions of the
games), using Nvidia binary drivers 325.15, so can confirm the bug.

As of wine-1.7.8, Might and Magic VII has been fixed for me, but Might and
Magic VIII remains the same.

The bug is still present in Might and Magic VIII, in wine-1.7.11, using the
FOSS radeon driver of Linux 3.12.9

Note for the screenshots uploaded by Dmitry: the large blotch (like on his MM7
cap) appears in D3D accelerated mode, the small, non-transparent blotch (like
on his MM8 cap) appears in software 3D mode.

You really shouldnt use that old wine...is the patch offical does it have
changelog anywhere?

Is this bug valid against more recent wine?

The patch is a community fix for the game itself, not for wine. This is an old
game from a company that went bankrupt a while a go.

As for wine, that was what I had installed with the distro at that time.

I will test the game with a recent wine tomorrow and see if the bug is still
there.

Note: with a test I did before with wine 1.8.x it seemed to be fixed.
