Summary: Menu doesn't render in Thief The Dark Project in readtex mode Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC URL: http://www.thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=293 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: alexd4@inbox.lv
When going to menu by pressing ESC from the actual game level, menu doesn't render (neither in full screen or desktop mode) when RTL mode is readtex. Screen is not updated at all despite you can hear menu music and sound effects as mouse passes clickable menu items. I get it on Geforce 2 mx and Geforce6100 and reportedly it also happens on some other nvidia cards.
Also happens immediately if directdrawrenderer is set to opengl (without it menu works before starting level, apparently because it's rendered by gdi).
In other games readtex seems to work fine for me, so probably this indicates some bug in wined3d triggered by readtex mode.
Demo is available.
Also affects system shock 2 (also Looking Glass Studio, probably shares engine code) and, probably also Thief 2 - The Metal Age (I didn't check but it has almost same engine).
