Summary: Animated mouse pointer invisible in 3D mode in Ice Cream Tycoon Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc4 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.reflexive.com/IceCreamTycoon.html OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: markk@clara.co.uk
Ice Cream Tycoon is a business/simulation game. This bug applies to both the retail CD-ROM and the downloadable version at http://www.reflexive.com/IceCreamTycoon.html (click "DOWNLOAD NOW!").
There are two options in Ice Cream Tycoon: - 3D mode. It's not clear what this does, maybe when enabled it uses Direct3D for output instead of DirectDraw??? - H/W cursor. When this is enabled, the program uses an animated coloured mouse pointer instead of the Windows default.
Download and run the installer from the URL above. You can either choose to have the installer run the game or start ICT.exe manually. Starting ICT.exe shows this console output, perhaps related to the time-limited play DRM feature? fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 2d1400 fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 74080
Click Play Game. When the game starts, notice that the pointer is invisible. It's actually there though; e.g. you can move the mouse to highlight the Skip button at the bottom right and click it to skip the intro sequence. Click Cancel when asked to enter a company name. Click the Options button (metal cog). There are options for H/W cursor and 3D mode, both enabled by default. When 3D mode is enabled, the pointer is invisible if H/W cursor is enabled. If you un-check the H/W cursor box, the mouse pointer (standard Windows pointer) appears. If you uncheck 3D mode and leave H/W cursor checked, the custom (coloured and animated) mouse pointer appears.
It might not be relevant, but this console output appears when you enable 3D mode: err:ddraw:PixelFormat_WineD3DtoDD Can't translate this Pixelformat 58 err:ddraw:PixelFormat_WineD3DtoDD Can't translate this Pixelformat 64
