Sweet, that is definitely encouraging to find out ... what version of Wine are you running? I notice that FreeBSD ports only has 0.9.36, but the web site shows 0.9.38 as being hte latest release ... could it be a difference between those two versions?
I think that it should work great under 0.9.36 too. But I always use latest Wine git tree - that is, latest version of Wine compiled from source. And yes, 0.9.38 is the latest release.
I've CC'd in the FreeBSD ports maintainer ... last update to ports was a week or so ago, not sure if he's aware of it "working very bad" ... :(
I'm pretty sure he is. There is problems with FreeBSD that needs to be resolved by FreeBSD community - i.e. by people who knows FreeBSD and have time, will and neccessary skills to help. Problems will never resolve magically themself. Unfortunatelly most (all?) Wine developers know little or nothing about FreeBSD and cannot solve these problems. And I know nothing about FreeBSD too - I even never used it... You may want to search for FreeBSD related bugs in bugzilla to understand current problems with Wine and FreeBSD better.
