Additional Comments

Everything flickers and flashes to the point of being unplayable. Don't bother trying to get this working. Someone made a guide, but the site is now unreachable. Someone else tried to upload a bz2 file that fixes the flashing, but jackass didn't check to see if it was corrupted. HUGE waste of time.

HowTo / Notes

Lack of fonts on first notification screen and more

One of problems that one might except while playing Dark Souls under wine is wrong order of rendering of stuff on screen. It might cause no fonts, textures or object appearing on screen.

To fix it you should add a new "String Value" called "StrictDrawOrdering" inside

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D

and set it to "enabled"

With it, wine will (as name suggests) draw object on screen in a correct order(or at least more correct than before).

To go past crash during a "New Game" first cutscene it might be needed to disable "winegstreamer.dll" in winecfg "Libraries" card

CSMT

As CSMT can be used to improve performance and mitigate some problems, it's experimental and shouldn't be used to submit any bugreports or test data

Patch to try

Can anyone test if this patch helps a bit with vanishing textures/models(StrictDrawOrdering still needs to be enabled)?
