Summary: The Sims 3 Textures go Black and sometimes Abnormal patterns. Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: markh789@gmail.com
When playing The Sims 3, your figures, objects walls, floors, cars, grass and plants go either Black or have abnormal textures.
I have no idea what to post in the attachment, if you could please direct me to what I have to then I will do so.
The only way to fix this is to set your texture details to the lowest possible, though my Graphics card (GeForce 8500 GT) should be able to support highest possible details, as it did on Windows.
Here is an example of what someone posted: http://i43.tinypic.com/2mpwiuh.png
The couch appears to have some kind of outfit design on it.
Also, Shaders 2.0 don't work (in-game known as advanced rendering).
Apparently this is due to memory leaks, though when I applied memory leak patches I still got the same results. (Which is bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=20484 and bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=20483 - applied in that order).
