Unfortunately neither of this games supports OpenGL (well there is a way for Flashpoint – I would have to use zeckensack's Glide wrapper – it works with this game (with glitches). zeckensack's Glide wrapper translates Glide to OpenGL. But is there a point in trying something like that?) “He e-mailed me privately” I am sorry, I must have messed up something – that message was meant as normal wine mailing list message, not as private message, thanks for posting it. Guess I better start using forum layout instead of gmail ;] Anyway thanks for answers – one more thing, should I use Windows 9x or NT based dlls? Probably those from XP but I had to ask...
