Bug ID: 46735 Summary: The Sims 2 demo needs Direct3DShaderValidatorCreate9() implementation Product: Wine Version: 0.9.35. Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: z.figura12@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Split off from bug 8051. To summarize, the game calls d3d9.Direct3DShaderValidatorCreate9(), which is a completely undocumented internal function that returns an an unknown interface. It expects a valid interface pointer to be returned, and expects certain calls on unknown methods to succeed.
