RE: White Footprints Graphical Corruption

I am running the latest, and am fully aware the drivers aren't up to snuff sometimes. It sucks, but I live with it.
Thanks a lot for your input though. I just tried settings shadows to low and it doesn't seem to affect the footprints. It'd be nice if there was simply a "disable footprints" option. At least I know NVIDIA users don't have this issue and I can focus more on the drivers.
As a side note, I tested these Wine versions for the footprints issue. The older ones work fine but the newer versions break footprints:
1.1.20 works
1.1.40 works
1.1.41 works
1.1.42 works
1.1.43 game-breaking bugs
1.1.44 game-breaking bugs
1.2-rc1 doesn't work
1.2-rc3 doesn't work
1.2-rc6 doesn't work
Not sure if the older versions use hacks that were later properly implemented, but I thought it was interesting to note for those that are running into the same issue.
