Hi there

I build wine 1.1.27 from source as usual and noticed Fear2 doesnt run anymore, it freeze right at the start with a black screen and i'm unable to get any console output since it freeze the whole x session I have to ctrl+alt+backspace to kill the x server. I am on Fedora 11 x86_64, Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX+, 185.18.31 Driver. Moved back to 1.1.26 and it worked again.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in Advance

edit to first post: Trine is very laggy now, most other games i've tested work without problems.

When the whole session is freezed or the system crashes that indicates a driver bug insead of a Wine issue. Frequently Wine changes unmask such bugs. I would try to see if the 190.x Nvidia beta drivers fix these issues already. At least they bring big performance improvements.
