Summary: Homeworld 2: Shadows and High-Quality Hyperspace Effect are disabled Product: Wine Version: 1.3.7 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: megatog615@gmail.com
Even with the Shadows and High-Quality Hyperspace Effect enabled through the options menu in Homeworld 2, either effect is not seen in the actual gameplay.
From some research via Google, it appears both effects use the stencil
capabilities of the graphics driver. I'm assuming the game is failing to detect the correct capabilities of the graphics card.
