Change

SET M2UseShaders "1"

to

SET M2UseShaders "0"


and see what happens.

[Espionage724]

M2USeShaders isn't used in patch 3.0.3 anymore. M2UseShaders, pixelshaders, vertexshaders are not used but are replaced by one command called "fixedfunction" which if 1, disables all pixelshader, shader, vertexshader stuff. I tried it on and off and black boxes still exist :(

[Eviljim]

Doesnt look like fixedfunction is used either..



Notes from the 3.0.3 patch that may affect you:

Bug Fixes

o Fixed an issue that was affecting terrain rendering on GeForce 3 and 4 Ti cards. Those that added the command Set fixedfunction 1 to their config.wtf file should remove it to avoid a decrease in performance.

[Espionage724]

I can't recall me having this problem when I was using normal wine instead of crossovers but then again crossovers made me an automatic config.wtf file. I will try to delete it and start fresh.

[Espionage724]

Nope still broken.....

I'm having the same problem on my Lenovo S10 netbook with Intel GMA 950 chipset.
