[Bug 15226] New: Cursor in Red Alert disappears randomly
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15226 Summary: Cursor in Red Alert disappears randomly Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: toni.spets(a)gmail.com The (software?) cursor in Command & Conquer: Red Alert disappears randomly. This can be accomplished by moving the cursor fast when clicking some menu buttons or it happens randomly in game or menu. Might take many tries. Some assumptions: Not SMP related, happens on both dual core and single core. Not related to DirectDrawRenderer, both GDI and OpenGL has the same problem. Tested with todays git. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The problem is over a year old and the Wine versions from back then don't tend to compile so nicely on todays tools. Also in the comments someone reported disabling double buffering helped when it could still be disabled.

Ah, I think I wasn't clear enough. The cursor did disappear with as old version as 0.9.10. I haven't found a working version.

Altough the cursor came back when I blindly opened other menu levels so it might have smaller impact on it. In Red Alert the cursor will not restore. Reminding that the easiest way to test this is to shake your mouse horizontally when opening a sub menu in main menu (like Multiplayer) during the screen redraw stutter and repeating it until the cursor disappears. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Can you run this with WINEDEBUG=+cursor,+icon and post the log please?
Red Alert was a DOS game and the Windows port of it used a software cursor of it's own and hides the real system cursor completely.

I don't see anything in there that would indicate the cursor/icon patches will help, but if you are in the mood you can give them a shot, I've uploaded them here: http://glest.codemonger.org/files/wine/cursor-work-20090723.tbz2 About 1% into the log file, it calls SetCursor(NULL) to disable it (and again about 60% of the way through). So, as you said, it would appear they draw their own mouse cursor after a certain phase into running the program (before that, they are just using OEM cursors). I will say that something is definitely wrong because when the program closes, it attempts to destroy each icon twice, I presume this is from CURSORICON_FreeModuleIcons, but I don't know why it would try to delete them twice. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Also it seems to depend on if the process is assigned only single-core affinity or not. So this is also related to the ddraw and/or thread implementation of Wine. My guess is that if the game thread order somehow get mixed and start to draw in a different order (cursor before scene) it effectively disappears. cnc-ddraw is still a work in progress. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15226 --- Comment #26 from Toni Spets <toni.spets(a)iki.fi> 2011-04-03 11:09:49 CDT --- By analyzing the game binary using different sources from the Internet I have come to a conclusion (and a binary patch) that the threading in the game itself gets messed up and some condition is never cleared that the cursor should be visible. What the patch does is that it never allows the game to reach the condition when it would hide the cursor when going to draw it (I don't know why it hides it before drawing). So, the binary fix for Red Alert 3.03 (patcher) is at http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc/ra/patches/ra303_fix_cursor_bug.exe and the relevant source for the patch data is at http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc/ra/patches/source/ra303_fix_cursor_bug.h if you want to patch the exe by hand. The underlying cause is somewhere in the directdraw and thread implementation of Wine, locking or something. It might be impossible to trace. To build this patch I used the original ra95.dat from 3.03 patch zip, OllyDbg on Wine and a .map file that was extracted from some 2.00 version of the game that had debugging symbols enabled which helped to find the correct class and method to dig. I know this bugzilla is for Wine bugs and should be strictly about fixing Wine but I thought like with cnc-ddraw that providing the information users are looking for right here is good service. So the bottom line is that this issue happens on Windows too if the ddraw implemention is replaced by cnc-ddraw which points to a conclusion the problem is about ddraw and Windows thread synchronization working together correctly. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
