Unreal Tournament bright screen.

[solidsnake204]

I have Unreal Tournament (Game of the Year Edition) installed and runs mostly fine under Wine.

But I get these two annoying problems.

One is that every now and then the game speeds up and I'm walking faster than usual for a few seconds.

Another problem is when I exit the game, my screen is left very bright, like a white overlay. I can only fix this if I log off and on again or restart the computer.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, I have a 1.8GHz Pentium Dual Core Processor, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA 9500GT 1GB using the NVIDIA Driver version 180.

I am using Wine 1.0.1 and it's configured like this:
Applications Tab
Windows Version: Windows XP

Libraries Tab
No DLL overrides

Graphics Tab
Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving their window - Disabled
Allow the window manager to decorate the windows - Enabled
Allow the window manager to control the windows - Enabled
Emulate a virtual desktop - Disabled
Vertex Shader Support: Hardware
Allow Pixel Shader - Enabled
Screen Resolution: 96 dpi

Audio Tab
ALSA Driver checked, other options unchecked.
Hardware Acceleration: Full
Default sample rate: 44100
Default bits per sample: 16
Driver emulation - Disabled

This is the terminal output when I ran UT from the terminal:
fixme:process:GetProcessWorkingSetSize (0xffffffff,0x32f39c,0x32f398): stub

In the UnrealTournament.ini file, under the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section, I have added the following lines:
FrameRateLimit=60
SwapInterval=1

There is a Linux-native client for Unreal Tournament.

There is a Linux-native client for Unreal Tournament.

I recommend it. It comes on the store bought cd but I had problems with some servers. Upgrading to the latest (3369 I think) solved that problem. You can download it from their site.

Haven't had a problem since.

I've downloaded the Linux setup for it...

...but it seems to require the original CD ROM? Which I don't have.

I've lost the CD-ROM, I only have the game files which I backed up.
