--- Comment #11 from Rencer rencer@euromail.hu --- After this failed demo experiment, I deleted the prefix and recreated it differently. Now I tried out as I done before; creating the prefix as I mention in my previous post. After that it is finished I installed the full game. Than I installed the demo, surprisingly this way the demo runs too, with music. And with the exact same graphical glitch... So the demo gives the same result, this graphic-glitch.
There is one thing that I accidentally figured out this time, helps or not but here it is:
The game seems to works regardless that the graphics is glitched! I'm talking about the full game now!
I figured out when I move my mouse around, the mouse cursor changes to a different icon at certain points: where menu elements are, it become a little pointing hand icon. I know the game very well, I remember where are the menus. So I clicked on the menus without seeing them and started a new game. It changes to the town generation/loading screen, which is works: I see the red progress bar and the text above it "Building the town..." Than when it finishes the graphics glithes again, but if I wait enought I hear the ambient background sounds. So the game looks like it is working fine in the background, even if the graphics is messed up. Maybe that is why I don't get anything in the log.txt or errlog.txt; there is no error. At least not in the game?
Now I think this is definetely not a regression on my hand, but PROGRESSION by Manjaro, NVidia, Wine or whomever cause the problem. Few years ago worked, same ancient old hardware, and now it is not. Only softwares changed. Wine also. Several times. Progression killed my working PC; continuous pointless updates even on a very old harware. This is absolute nonsense to me.
I can't figure it out what coused it. Wine? VGA driver? Something else in the system? I have no clue, because so many things updated so many times. Wine, Kernel, VGA driver, everything.
Maybe, if it is related to drivers, kernels or what, so here is the system that I use right now. (This is the ONLY working boot option!): VGA Driver with the latest LTS Kernel 6.6.65-1 is linux66-nvidia-470xx 470.256.02-38
I also kept an old LTS Kernel (6.1.119-1) just for safty. But Manjaro changed everything system-wide so much with that latest Kernel, that it is no longer possible to boot into old Kernels. It was stopped working 2 major system updates before. Before that system update I can boot into any of the old Kernels that I kept. How friggin cool is that? Anyway, the VGA driver with this older Kernel is/was: linux61-nvidia-470xx 470.256.02-32 Sadly, there is no way that I can try out the game, to see that with that version of VGA driver and kernel the game works or not. I really doubt that, because this old kernel and driver also updated continuously. Of course, why not...
I just can't get it why countless other programs, games, utilities still works, also new things works, but Zafehouse just not. Or it is, but I can't see anyting. I know it wasn't easy to make it works even back than. But at least it was doable. I really hope someone can figure it out this time.
