Summary: Hardwar: The screen often goes black in Direct3D mode. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.27 Platform: PC URL: http://www.filefront.com/3777156/Hardwar-Demo/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: zoonsworld@yahoo.co.uk
I'm running the Hardwar demo patched to version UIM.06(the patch upgrades the demo to retail status). The screen will go completely black in cockpit view depending on which way you point your craft. It occurs most often during the games night phase(the game simulates day and night).
I've found that adding and setting the registry string value: 'RenderTargetLockMode' to 'textex' in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/ will stop the screen going completely black. Instead it will darken slightly.
I'm running the game with a GeForce 2 mx graphics card and have tried various graphical settings in the game without any luck.
