im trying to run worms world party with wine cvs 04/13/01
after manually instaling by installing on a windows machine then copying 
acorss to my machine (it uses installshield which crashes under wine), the 
game launches

it is really really horribly flickery, and quite slow. its a directdraw 
game, but as far as i can tell its not making any attempt to change to the 
resolution it wants. im pretty sure the game is in 8bit colout, btu when i 
run x in 8bit colour, wine looks really messed up.

anyway, i can get to the menu system (ignoreing the epillepsy-inducing 
flickering). teh problem is, i cant actually click on anything. the mouse 
moves around the window fine, but none of the buttons respond. this is 
quite a problem as the game doesnt have keyboard input for the menu so i 
cant actually start playing.

ive tried with dga, without dga, with mousegrab and without, in a desktop 
and without, etc etc etc but nothing makes a difference

i get a few errrors when the game starts up -

then it says "fixme:gdi:GetObjectType Magic 113d not implemented" about a 
million times, interspersed with the odd directsound stuffup.


any help is greatly appreciated
