Hi, i am testing wine about every 3 days from current git. Warcraft 3 cant run for me if i am using option "-opengl", with direct3d (default) it is working without any problems, but it is slower. If you want i can do testing every second day (after some changes in CVS) and report problems, but i cant every time find patch which is responsible for that. I think opengl rewriting should be done internaly, not merging half of work into current CVS, because it broke so much apps.

Here's a common problem. I tested Warcraft 3 with 0.9.25 from compile,
new wine prefix, game install, patch, start, battle.net all this
weekend and it worked fine. Not everyone receives the same experience.
I'm the maintainer so I do know when it regresses for me and usually I
fix it right then because I can. And I have been able to keep track
the git almost daily so problems with Warcraft 3 have actually
remained minimal (er I would say non-existant ... but). I cannot fix
other problems unless I receive proper reports. I have no idea what
Mirek's problem is and he definately has not reported it the proper
way.

I do know of an open bug where there is a weird packaging/build
problem or nvidia+X.org 7.1 problem that prevents Warcraft 3 from
starting on ubuntu 6.10. So I actually downloaded it installed the
distro on my hard drive, which is why I did the above test with
Warcraft 3. So when I did all that just to research a problem, it
simply worked fine on my install of ubuntu. So I lack enough
information to progress on it. Could this be Mirek's problem --
possibly. Should we have held up 0.9.25 for a rather obscure problem?
Heck no. Even more reason, most people don't test tree snapshots, so
the only way we know of some problems is when we make a release, and
that's probably why we have releases every two weeks; so that Wine
gets widespread testing.
