Bug ID: 51752 Summary: Sacred Underworld. Black screen after campaign start Product: Wine Version: 6.17 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: werner@armbian.de Distribution: ---
Created attachment 70647 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=70647 terminal output from start until campaign start
I have the GOG version of Sacred Gold installed and once I start the Underworld campaign the screen fading black - like if there was a cut scene - and never comes back. The game still runs in background as noticeable by sound (foot steps when moving, enemies...).
It has been years since I played Underworld on a Windows machine but if I remember correctly the character also does not spawn at the Underworld starting point but close to the in the Ancaria starting points - depending on chosen class - before the screen fades black which is odd as well.
The Sacred Ancaria campaign itself plays perfectly fine. Finished it a couple of times to unlock Niob difficulty.
This issue happens on both version 2.28 and 2.29.14 unofficial. Tested on both Ubuntu Focal wine-development package (version 5.5.something IIRC) and winehq-development 6.17.
I tried tinkering with the settings of both wine (tried Windows7 and XP mode and fullscreen emulation) and of Sacred (turn fullscreen on/of, play videos and so so) but did not change anything.
Not sure which information could be useful so I try to give as much as possible. I am running Linux Mint 20.2 Uma Cinnamon on mainline Linux (currently 5.14.y), however I had this issue with Hirsute kernel (5.11.y) as well. For graphics drivers I use oibaf/graphics-drivers/ PPA. I run the latest linux-firmware by using the Ubuntu impish package which at the moment is version 1.199.
My machine is a Levono Yoga 7 with AMD Ryzen 7 4800U processor.
I chose "blocker" as severity since not being able to play a whole campaign at all is kind a severe I guess.
Thank your for reading.
Cheers Werner
