Summary: Black screen in Everquest 2 (lighting issue?) Product: Wine Version: 1.3.3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: morindhal@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=30991) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=30991) My lspci output
In some zones in Everquest 2 the entire game world goes black but the game UI remains uneffected and you can still play, you just can't see anything that happens outside what little info you can get from your game UI.
The effected zones for me are: VP (Veeshan's Peak) Lavastorm Icy Keep KP (Kylong Plains, outside of Karnor's Castle) Nektropos Forest
This does not always happen except for in Lavastorm and some times it helps to change your in game graphics settings, and some times it does not help.
As it is pretty far into the game and no loss of functionality exists (other than the fact that you can't see what you are fighting) getting a console output is challenging, if someone goes through how with me step by step I'd be willing to give it a shot though.
Since I am the first to bugreport this (as far as I can see) it may be driver related, I am using a Intel GM45 graphics chipset.
Ps. As long as you are not the tank you can put autofollow on someone and make it through most zones without actually seeing anything, it's just really annoying.
