Summary: Everquest 2 Extended - much of world is black if shader model 3 selected? Product: Wine Version: 1.3.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
There was a required update to Everquest 2 Extended in the last couple days. Because the EQ2 installer doesn't work on Wine, you have to run the updater on Windows, then copy C:/ProgramData/Sony to wine.
With shader model 1, it behaves much as before, except for a blue waterfall problem in the character selection screen ( bug 24726 ).
With shader model 3, however, half the world looks black, even with d3dx9_36 installed to work around bug 24726.
Confusingly, the character selection screen seems to be drawn with shader model 3 even if you have sm1 selected, and as a result, its left side is all black.
