Hi Jeffz, thanks for your reply! Oh i missed the most obvious thing! i'm using wine 1.1.30 and i've also tried the earlier versions (and the Gothic patched one), i'm trying to run it with POL (i like the management options it offers) just 10 minutes ago i tried to disable the directx 9 in user.reg but the results was the same i didn't find yet the 1.1.31 in POL repository, now i'll give a look. I post the user.reg directx configuration so it can be more clear thanks again. Ciao. ....
