What can I/we do to help fix it?
Incidentally, other 3D games I play work just fine (those that don't use Wine).
Edit 1: if this is down to Apple, has this been reported to Apple as a bug yet?
Edit 2: it does appear that the AMD/ATI driver has been updated in 10.8.2 (but not the NVidia driver). Oddly, people are reporting that it supports OpenGL extensions that were not supported before - so in theory I guess it should be better, if it worked..

happens on Intel and nvidia GPUs too... Crossover is broken as well... seems anything that uses Wine is broken.

officially supported clients are always easier to use and usually less problematic... no matter how they port it. Cider doesn't seem to be having an issue with the update (its a fork off Wine from many years ago so is quite a bit different)... its something either in Wine itself, or with libXplugin for X11 support, which Cider doesn't use, but all other usage of Wine does.

In the case of VirtualBox, the author(s) are releasing an update to fix it. We can only hope for the same from WineHQ. |
I'd like to know their fix... but VirtualBox actually uses some Wine code for their DirectX handling so it could be the same root problem.
