           Summary: eRacer demo: no text displayed
           Product: Wine

terminal output

Text is missing from the game. Neither menu options nor in-game HUD are
displayed.

The game was developed by Rage Software in 2001. Some other titles released at
that time from this developer are also affected, e.g. Eurofighter Typhoon.
Hostile Waters is another game developed by Rage. When using the default gfx
options offered by the launcher, text in the game is shown correctly. However
there is a compatibility option in the launcher, named 'Use Compatible Upload'
(disabled by default). 
No idea what does this option do, but enabling it results in the same problem
as with eRacer: text is missing in the game.
Unfortunately this option is not used by either eRacer or Eurofighter Typhoon
so there is no way to work around the problem.

Steps to reproduce the problem with the demo:
1. Install the demo as usual.
2. Before starting the game remove/rename intro.avi located in eRacer/Gui/Avi
directory. Start the game by eracer.exe
3. You can see that the menu is displayed without any text.
