Are you using any kind of winetrick install script and/or PlayOnLinux usage ?

Please find hereunder my remarks and feedbacks.

I do not see this behavior with a Windows 7 box with latest BB EL patches, see
<http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2742>: starting videos
are shown with sound and game can be played without any problem.

Can you please explain more the « splash screen is shown » part ?
Are you talking about « launcher » that allows you to choose between 4 options
before entering game.

I cannot see this behavior with an Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS box without any
winetrick. :-S

Reading this bug report, I realized that I was playing the game in windowed
mode, even if I could not see it. I mean that configuration file has windowed
mode set and screen resolution corresponding to my entire screen. So that game
is not shown into a window but as if it were full screen.
