Hi, I've now seen this same error twice. I'm playing the game and suddenly everything hangs. Ctrl-C kills the game and I'm back to the terminal. Before I report a bug I'm wondering if there are any settings in winecfg I should try? The game's setup program asks if I wanted to enable DirectX 8 features in the game. I could reinstall the game with those turned off it it's likely to be a contributing factor. Better if I can just disable them somehow. I see some reports of this error message in Bugzilla and also some reports that it's improved using OpenGL. How do I do that?
