Bug ID: 58515 Summary: Street Chaves only displays a black screen (regression) Product: Wine Version: 10.11 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: denilsonsa@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Wine versions up to 9.7 were able to render the game graphics correctly. Now I tested again on Wine version 10.11 and all I get is a black screen.
The game seems to be working, because I can blindly press "Z" to confirm, then "5" to insert credits (and hear the sound effect), and "1" to start, an "Z" a couple of times to select my character and advance to the actual fight… After all of this, I can hear the in-game music and the in-game sound effects of the fight. I just can't see any of it due to being pure black.
How to reproduce?
1. Get the game archive from https://archive.org/details/street-chaves-1.5-a 2. Unpack it anywhere, and run `wine Chaves.exe` 3. After a few moments, a black window without any decoration will show up.
Having no decorations is normal expected behavior. Having it completely black is a bug/regression.
Tests?
The game works fine under "Proton Experimental" on the Steam Deck, but I don't know exactly what is the Wine version.
It also works fine under "Proton 10.0-1 (beta)".
It does NOT work (black screen) under Wine 10.11 on Manjaro Linux.
It does NOT work (black screen) under wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, which is the default Wine runner for Lutris, installed from Flatpak. https://lutris.net/games/street-chaves/
Other Wine versions are untested.
If you are testing other versions, please be aware that older versions had a problem with keyboard input. You could see graphics on the screen, but you couldn't progress any further. This has been solved in bug 52738.
