Bug ID: 56972 Summary: Warlords III: Darklords Rising shows empty screen in virtual desktop Product: Wine Version: 9.13 Hardware: x86-64 URL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2916220/Warlords_II I_Darklords_Rising/ OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: regression Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: win32u Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: gyebro69@gmail.com CC: rbernon@codeweavers.com Regression SHA1: 03e43434c2bcf6424d60ee9dc1f595aa18714eef Distribution: ArchLinux
I bumped into this bug while checking whether bug #53716 still occurs in recent Wine (yes it does).
Reproduced with the Steam and GOG.com versions.
When initiating a single-player game from the launcher, the sounds of the intro video can be heard but only the empty virtual desktop can be seen. The screen remains empty when the game enters the main menu. Nether in fullscreen mode the game starts properly: switches the desktop to low resolution, the game icon is present in the taskbar but can't be activated.
The problem is present since commit 03e43434c2bcf6424d60ee9dc1f595aa18714eef (win32u: Introduce a new window surface helper to set window shape.)
