--- Comment #6 from Ken Thomases <ken at codeweavers.com> ---
Thanks for the log.  I'm not sure there's any bug here.  It seems the game is
just badly written.

There's a function it can call to query what display modes are available.  It
doesn't use that.  Instead, it seems to have a list of modes it is interested
in checking and it just tries changing the display mode to each in turn to see
if it succeeds.  If it does, it switches back to the original mode before
trying the next.  So, it's flipping back and forth between display modes "on
purpose".

The only concern I have is whether the Mac driver is failing to recognize some
of the display modes supported by your system.  The game tries these
resolutions and the Mac driver reports that they are unsupported:

960x720
1152x864
1280x960
1280x1024
1600x1024
1600x1200
1920x1080
1920x1200

Do you have reason to believe that those resolutions should be supported by
your system?  If you open the Displays pane of System Preferences and select
"Resolution: Scaled", are any of the resolutions listed above available?
