Bug #: 29700 Summary: C&C TiberianSun and RedAlert 2 game graphics rendering freezes when NOT moving the mouse. Product: Wine Version: 1.3.37 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pclaves@web.de Classification: Unclassified
When starting a game in C&C Tiberian Sun or RedAlert 2 (same Game Engine) the screen (or Window) is not refreshed unless the mouse is moved around. The Game is progressing (albeit slow), if the mouse is moved the screen is refreshed and the player units jump the the new positions.
Tested with Wine 1.3.37
This seems to be related to http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14438 but with the exact opposite effect. I tried the tricks from this report and the AppDb entry but the have no effect. The bug 14438 report metions that the DIB engine should have fixed that bug, but it apparently created a regression worse than the problem.
