During race, Colin McRae Rally 2.0 draws neither road nor other background (see attached picture), i.e. the game is unplayable.
This affects both the commercial and the demo version, available from http://downloads.gamezone.com/demosfiles/t1582.htm http://cdn.gamezone.com/pub/gamezone/16/0/86/cmr2pcdemo.zip
This may be a driver issue. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with the Intel XOrg video driver.
This could as well be a "Wine's DirectX6 not good enough" issue. The in-game graphics selection menu displays no other "choice" than "DirectDraw HAL", i.e. only DirectX6 is recognized.
Indeed, during install, a requester says "your machine is not ... for DirectX7". The DirectX7a installer is distributed with the game. So this could be a DirectX7 detection issue.
Alas, the game's configuration (Configuration/*.rcf) is a binary file, so I cannot change the graphics driver.
Default trace output is attached. It contains a lot of fixme:d3d_surface:surface_convert_format Cannot find a conversion function from format WINED3DFMT_DXT5 to WINED3DFMT_A4R4G4B4 with XxYx16bit or fixme:d3d_surface:surface_convert_format Cannot find a conversion function from format WINED3DFMT_DXT5 to WINED3DFMT_A8R8G8B8 with a XxYx32bit resolution setting. Could that be related to the missing background?
