Hi! Thank you for the tips! actually I used winetricks to install the direct 9x stuff and with the registry settings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Wine/Direct3D DirectDrawRenderer opengl OffscreenRenderingMode fbo RenderTargetLockMode readtex StrictDrawOrdering enabled UseGLSL disabled It worked!!!! (Actually the last setting was very important because if it is the default enabled, then the game is producing the same weird result.) :) :) :) :) :)
