Bug #: 28903 Summary: Oddworld: screen stays frozen with the menu screen Product: Wine Version: 1.3.31 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/47163/40000/fileinfo/Oddworl d:-Abe%27s-Exoddus-Demo OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, regression Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com CC: hverbeet@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Regression SHA1: 8330558e125c9073068ffbd7741f1128c17c1e08
This bug affects (at least) the first 2 games from the Oddworld series: Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus. The games were released around 1997/98.
The problem (in the full game, Steam version here): various intro videos/splash screens are displayed correctly after starting the game. Finally the main menu appears, but the screen stays frozen (not refreshing) at this point. The game is still running, audio and keyboard work, but all I can see is the frozen main menu.
In the demo, the game starts with a black screen, and the screen stays that way: normally, various splash screens should be displayed, then the menu should appear, but you can only see a black screen. The game is running fine, you can hear the sound effects, keyboard also works.
The result of the regression test:
8330558e125c9073068ffbd7741f1128c17c1e08 is the first bad commit commit 8330558e125c9073068ffbd7741f1128c17c1e08 Author: Henri Verbeet hverbeet@codeweavers.com Date: Mon Oct 24 21:24:37 2011 +0200

The patch cannot be reverted on the current git (wine-1.3.31-106-gda6363e), but git checkout 8330558e125c9073068ffbd7741f1128c17c1e08 >> frozen screen git reset --hard HEAD^ >> the game starts correctly
Nothing interesting in the terminal.
