[Bug 59078] New: 3 low-res GOG-Games don't work being extremely scaled (i.e. blurred) without able to change options
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59078 Bug ID: 59078 Summary: 3 low-res GOG-Games don't work being extremely scaled (i.e. blurred) without able to change options Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: jmb_tux(a)gmx.net Distribution: --- I have tested more than 40 Windows games working perfectly with Wine 10 using Xubuntu 25.10 STS lately - so I am not experienced with Wine and just use standard way. Three Games: - Worms Revolution Gold Edition - Vertical Drop Heroes HD - Tower 57 are not working at all, as the display shows less than 1/4 of the screen being extremely blurred. So all show the same problem and all have low res grphics. I am using 4k screen with DPI factor 256 and I thought changing one or both - scaling and resolution - would do the job. But the small part of the game output visible does not even change in any way when using FHD (1920x1080) res. Is this a known problem or can you give infos/links about this problem? I think "Worms Revolution" is a game which should work as it is really famous for a reason. Unfortunately GOG is only providing support for the OS given - so in that case for Windows - which I would not use. I discussed about trying to support Wine, too - but at least concerning the support they have orders which does not help gamers. I am an experienced Unix administratior form Sciences and IT industry and if I can help, I can provide further info if one could guide about the important parameters. Unfortunately I am not yet prepared to use development versions of Wine an I am astonished that it is not more important to give the latest stable version. Wine HW did a great job as e.g. Atari Reacharged can not work except for "Blach Widow Recharged" with Wine 9 (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS based) while all work flawlessly with Wine 10. If you can give hint to further information, I would be happy. As my tries getting info like AppDB did not work for me at all.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59078 --- Comment #2 from JMB9 <jmb_tux(a)gmx.net> --- I add a 4th game with same problem and give some details: Title Developer & Publisher Release ----------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------- Worms Revolution Gold Edition Team17 & Digital Ltd 12.10.2012 Vertical Drop Heroes HD Nerdook_Productions_Digerati 20.05.2014 Tower 57 Pixelwerk & 11 bit studios 16.11.2017 Twinkle Star Sprites SNK CORPORATION & Dotemu 25.11.1996 All four currently bought on GOG in the tested version on Wine 10 using Xubuntu 25.10 STS (as the games are all old (8-29 years old, it would not be expected that latest development version will show different results - except a general problem with old games was fixed lately). Maybe there is some info how one may play them with Wine ... As such a blurred part shown on th entire 4k screen is not normal, it may be due to low res graphics on older games - but it is striking that all games show the same small part even though they don't share the same game engine. And thus one can not look for graphics options etc. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59078 --- Comment #5 from JMB9 <jmb_tux@gmx.net> --- I found a 5th game with the same problem: Title Developer & Publisher Release ----------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------- PixelJunk Monsters HD Double Eleven Ltd. 26.08.2013 as the 5 others games being GOG version freshly downloaded. --- Concerning the 2 questions: 1) X11 or Wayland: I test it on X11 - as Wayland is currently not able to support my workflow - and I am using Xubuntu 25.10 STS to at least have Wine 10 as the latest stable version. - Maybe I will use Xubuntu (i.e. X11 like I use now) and Kubuntu 26.04 LTS when released to get latest stable Wine and with Kubuntu I could look at Wayland ... but I think Wine will make more trouble than X11. What I saw some months ago Kwin does not work proper ... - With more experience with Wine, I may try to get latest development version to better help with bug reports. As I have seen that Worms Revolution got support, I am not able to test it with latest Wine Dev. - would be interest to look at that ... at least with Xubuntu 26.04 LTS. ---- 2) Does it exist demo showing the problem? Well, it starts with full screen showing only the left upper part of the normal screen - so I can not reach for changing otions - so a screen video does not show anything - but I could try getting screenshots of the 5 games having the same or at least similar problem - if this would help. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
