Bug ID: 52546 Summary: Alt-tabbing out and back into Freelancer causes a black screen Product: Wine Version: 6.22 Hardware: x86-64 URL: https://archive.org/download/Freelancer_201807/Freelan cer.iso OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dinput Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: sashok.olen@gmail.com CC: rbernon@codeweavers.com Regression SHA1: 53fcfe3834da3c43838cd26bdeb4fdb335542627 Distribution: ---
How to reproduce: 1) Acquire a copy of Freelancer (I've attached a link from archive.org in the bug description) 2) Obtain the necessary files to make the game work, such as an official game patch (flpatch.exe), and unofficial community patch (jflp.exe) and a NoCD executable, links to which are all available in the source code of this Lutris installer (https://lutris.net/games/install/11013/view) 3) Install the game and apply the patches/nocd 4) Launch the game 5) Press "alt-tab" 6) Return to the game through alt-tab or whatever way your DE allows In wine-6.21 release, the game image will successfully get restored and shown, while on 53fcfe3834da3c43838cd26bdeb4fdb335542627 and later (including Wine 7.2), instead, a black window is shown. Reverting this commit against a later version (wine built against commit 0dc34ad87a20996fc63de7f1fd4c9064b53edf3f) fixes the issue. However, reverting it against 6.22 is not possible due to conflicts.
