that might be a problem. The game seems to be constantly switching between
software and hardware processing :/.

everything I did so far is catching the segfault in winedbg and hit disas. That
is enough to guess the functions in the vtable and the number of parameters.No
windows code involved.

guess I will just try to send my stub version and see what happens ;)
btw. at least here the function is loaded via GetProcAddress so the comment to
your patch might have been wrong as well.
