I've just tried this out on CX 11. I'm using crossover_11.0.2-1_i386.deb .
I see the Capitalism 2 splash screen, then nothing at all but the soundtrack plays, then when the music finishes, a black fullscreen window begins to initialise, immediately followed by the error message:
Cannot attach flipping surface (DDERR_CANNOTATTACHSURFACE)
I've tried it in a winXP bottle with both the included DirectX 8a and the DirectX runtime modern. Both have the same result.
This is such an old game that it can run on DirectX 8. Surely Wine is almost good enough for this. Am I missing any dependencies other than DirectX?
