Bug #: 34878 Summary: Games requiring DirectDrawRenderer set to GDI (winetricks ddr=gdi) are black screen after 1.7.2 Product: Wine Version: 1.7.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: brymaster@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Games normally requiring winetricks ddr=gdi workaround (because of garbage/distorted video with ddr=opengl) are only showing a black screen since Wine 1.7.2. Example games are Age of Empires 1, 2 and C&C Red Alert 2.
Tested with both X11 and winemac driver, same results. Running OS X 10.8.5 with Nvidia 9400M.
A few notes:
- Running the games with X11 and ddr=opengl in a windowed virtual desktop at 800x600 will work to display video, but not in normal fullscreen.
- Unable to run the game windowed with winemac driver. It always forces it to fullscreen, so I can't check to see if it'll run in a windowed virtual desktop with ddr=opengl.

Sorry no regression test yet.
