I absolutely love WoG, but I would like to have it working om my computer.
I use fedora as my operating system and run WoG Using wine.
On other distributions WoG runs fine, but I like fedora for my own reasons.
using the 64bit version of fedora, WoG runs horribly slow (I think about 2-3 fps)
So I have now the 32bit version of fedora (Not only because of WoG).

Now when running wog, trough the command line output I found out it now runs at about 60 fps, but now I have a new problem.
The screen flickers all the time. There is a whole lot of black, all the images are streched out.
everywhere where there should be text I can read the whole alfabet (In alfabetic order)

I have attached some screenshot so you can have a better grasp of what I am talking about
1.png: loading screen
2.png: main screen (where you can choose wich chapter to play)
3.png: level selection (first chapter)

Video drivers are installed.
the 1.30 update didnt change anything
happens both in the demo and full version
tried reinstalling
other games run fine

Thanks in advance.

Which window manager are you using? If you're using compiz, turn it off, and just use KWin or whatever the default is.

window mangaer didnt matter.
I tried metacity,kwin,compiz,enlightenment,fluxbox and openbox.

But its not a problem anymore. I tried the linux beta, and it works perfect :D
