           Summary: America's Army 3.0 goes black after about ten minutes
                    of play
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc7
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

I installed Steam with
 rm -rf ~/.wine
 sh winetricks sandbox gecko corefonts steam 
After disabling in-game notifications and chat in the Steam settings as usual,
I downloaded AA3 with Steam successfully.

Running crashed immediately because it needed msvcp80.dll;
 winetricks vcrun2005
worked around that.  

It then crashed quickly anyway (bug 19885);
running it outside Steam with
 cd ~"/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/america's army
3/Binaries"
 wine AA3Game.exe 
worked around that.

It then started, but screen went black right after game prompted for username.
Setting a virtual desktop in winecfg worked around that.

It then ran fine for ten minutes, and then seemed to hang.
There were still sounds, so it wasn't completely hung.
This happened both times I tried it.
There was nothing suspicious on the console.

(The game suffers from The Mouse Bug, so you have to scrub the mouse around
to compensate.  I haven't tried any patches or settings for this yet.
Tips for newbies: in the third part of the initial obstacle course,
you can't turn, you have to sidestep and backstep to get through the maze.
In the weapons training, use Space to pick up the weapon.)
