Summary: Soulbringer: crash in D3D Hardware mode Product: Wine Version: 1.3.5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: emanuele.emalele@gmail.com
As stated in bug 11616 the game SEEMS to work but only in Software low detailed mode: when speaking about 'mode' I'm referring to an internal game mode selection.
The game has four execution mode they can be chosen by a menu during launch. Please note that I do not know the truly meaning of the mode itself but I reported them as the game name themselves.
Here follows the Wine report:
Wine 1.2 report ->
Exec game mode: DirectDraw6 HAL -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: D3D7 HAL -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: D3D7 T&L HAL -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: D3D7 RGB -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: Software -> not working, black screen and return to desktop
Wine 1.3.5 report ->
Exec game mode: DirectDraw6 HAL -> black screen, return to desktop but music in background so it seems that the game has launched Exec game mode: D3D7 HAL -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: D3D7 T&L HAL -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: D3D7 RGB -> not working, black screen and return to desktop Exec game mode: Software -> IF I install native DCOM98 with winetricks -> the game works perfectly Exec game mode: Software -> IF I DO NOT install native DCOM98 with winetricks -> the game has a similar behaviour as DirectDraw6 HAL but in this case I have music and only a part of the first game menu's screen instead of black screen
I opened an issue to you as per point 6.6 of the Wiki Wine FAQ about DCOM; anyway the best solution of course it's a fix of the hardware D3D mode. Please note that I've tried D3D mode both with Vertex Shader hardware On and Off.
Thank you and please ask me anything you may need to solve the problem.
