Created attachment 62340 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=62340 Console output when running the Magic the Gathering demo with a virtual desktop
Hi, the Magic the Gathering demo (the one by Microprose) works fine in a 32 bit wine prefix on 3.16 devel with OS set to Win 95, but key parts of the interface disappear or are solid black if the program is run in a virtual desktop. While I am not totally sure this is the same issue that affects all of the Microprose Magic the Gathering games, in practice the issue and the symptoms are identical. You can download the demo here: https://archive.org/details/mtgdemo I'm on Kubuntu 17.10 64 bit, using the official WineHQ repository.
To reproduce this: Run mtgdemo.exe, which extracts to a folder. In the extracted folder, run DUEL.EXE in a 32 bit wine prefix with OS set to Win95. You'll see a screen without any black boxes or blobs on it- most importantly, the large Magic card on the left is visible.
Click exit.
Set DUEL.EXE to a virtual desktop- 1024x768 shows this issue. The card that was visible without the virtual desktop is now a giant black blob. Should you try to play the game, other graphical glitches will happen- cards disappear and only re-appear when you go to the next turn or right-click on the playing field, choose Duel Options, and then press OK.
