I was playing around with this patch yesterday on my system, and observed the
following with the base game (wine-1.8-rc2):
- A strange "rendering" pattern across the screen, depending on the angle of
the camera. Can't really describe it.
- If the camera is 'static', the rendering appears "frozen" (this occurred
even without this patch)
- Sims and animated objects are not visible, instead of flashing red.
After installing EP6 (updates base game to 2007), it got worst:
- The application silently crashes or sometimes displays "The application has
crashed and will now terminate" when trying to load a household, or the
tutorial household. On the upside, the objects can be seen textured
(previously, they were all white).
Results may vary depending on graphics card / drivers - Mine's a GTX 960 with
the latest NVIDIA driver from the Ubuntu repos. By the way, thanks swswine for
the discovery! I'd be happy to test this game further.
