Summary: Half Life 2: Episode 2 Product: Wine Version: 1.1.35 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: webmobster@gmail.com
No HUD in DirectX 9 mode, frequent crashes on DirectX 8 mode on Half Life 2 Episode 2 (it isn't meant to run in DirectX 8 mode so probably not a wine bug but also not a usable workaround), also other programs of the same source generation (Team fortress 2 and Portal). It appears to be linked to Nvidia driver version (version 180 supposedly works http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=2095&iVersionId=9421&...) but it is impossible to verify as my Linux kernel (2.6.31-16-generic Ubuntu 9.10 ) only supports 185 drivers and newer (except for the old 173 driver) which are all affected versions. I have tried drivers from 173, 185, 190, 195 and the 1.1.26 version of wine with a platinum rating, they are all affected.
