Bug ID: 56118 Summary: Police Quest: SWAT 2 - missing UI elements Product: Wine Version: 9.0-rc2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: matheus.venturini@acad.ufsm.br Distribution: ---
Created attachment 75784 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=75784 SWAT 2 on Wine 9.0 RC2 (notice the black bar below main window)
SWAT 2 creates a big "parent" window and many "children" windows inside it, where components of the game's GUI are rendered. Because of an incomplete implementation of the SHAppBarMessage function (from the shellapi.h header) certain child windows can appear completely black.
This can be seen in a 2008 AppDB report for the game: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=15352&... I experienced the exact same bug as reported here (the action and gear panels become black and you can't actually play the game), but it only happened the first time I ran the game and I can't get it to happen again. On the other hand, the bottom panel, where dialogue and tips are displayed, does not show up at all for me (see attached picture).
