Tried to run LOTRO recently under 1.9.13, it "detected" I have DirectX11 and offered to run it instead. Loading screen worked, but everything went black after that.

Disable d3d11.dll in the Wine config screen and the game should fall back to DX9 or DX10 mode :)

As I said it offered to run it under DX11 :) I just choose no and it runs on DX9 very well. LOTRO is one of few games I have seen very few if any glitches under Wine. And it is awesome MMO too.
I installed the Windows version of Tomb Raider on Ubuntu 14.04.3 through Crossover 15.2...
While it runs with more FPS than the Feral version, I have the screen filled with a lot of graphical artifacts; macroblocks for to be specific... The more powerfull the card is, the more macroblocks I have.. Is that a driver issue? I know there is a REGistry key that solves the problem (StrictDrawOrdering-»enabled) , but the performance goes down by a lot.
