Summary: Lord of the Rings Online Hardware Pixel shader enabled exits the game on startup. Product: Wine Version: 1.3.2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: charles.tersteeg@gmail.com
before September 7th with LOTRO: Seige of Mirkwood, enabling the hardware pixel shader allowed the following graphics: really cool transparent water and distant character models to be seen.
after the game updated on the 8th, the hardware pixel shader needed to be disabled else the game would exit upon startup.
with the hardware pixel shader disabled, the following negative effects are noticed:
water is no longer transparent cool looking. distant character models appear grey until they move closer. upon death, the screen turns white for graphics (i've never seen this before).
i don't know how to get logs or back traces. with some direction, i'd be happy to add this.
