The issue has not been resolved in wine-1.2.2 with Linux Mint. To test I ran the program with wine in standard desktop mode, which blacked out the screen, as it did before. Then I enabled virtual desktop for 800x600 screen resolution and it gave the same d3d error. Graphics settings: | | Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse X Allow window manager to decorate X Allow window manager to control | | Emulate a virtual desktop Vertex Shader: Hardware X Allow pixel shader 96dpi screen resolution
