White armor

The picture shows the issue clear enough I think. The white glowing won't
appear on all objects. As far as I can tell now this are only parts of armor
that are reflecting light but I am not yet sure about this.

This is still an issue with wine-1.1.9
But there is a small workaround for this problem (the bfme2 expansion pack
only!). Apply patch 1.06 to bfme2 and patch 2.01 to bfme2 addon and get the
edain 3 mod
(http://modding-union.com/?lang=de&path=dledain2&file=edain2mod#kopf). Copy all
*.big files to the addon folder and the asset.dat to the bfme2 game folder and
overwrite it.
I did not experience the graphic glitches any longer.
I'm still trying to figure out the source of the problem.

Semi-Related side note: Turning of GLSL makes the armor look normal but somehow
messes up the models geometry, giving the units extremely crooked staves for
weapons (the battle wagon even gets tiny wings). Shall I open another bug for
this?

I tried it with wine-1.1.12 last night but I did not discover it.

I will try it again, though.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.25 or newer) wine?

I must add that disabling GLSL in the registry makes everything look normal for
me, performance is normal too (but I have a system far better than the
recommended one) BUT it makes the game extremely unstable... It crashes all the
time (so often that I could not finish the first campaign mission).
Using Wine 1.1.30 - OpenSUSE 11.1 - Nvidia 6800GT 128MB

I think I've made it stable now, and without that bug... Here's what I did:

1) I disabled GLSL in the registry.
2)Vertex shaders are set to "hardware", pixel shaders are enabled.
3) What seemed to do the trick was to lower some options:
Shadows: 1/5
Decal: disabled
Water shadows: 1/4
Effects: 2/5

With this I've been able to play for about an hour without problem, all the
graphics looked normal.

I got around this problem simply by turning off GLSL using Winetricks
"disableGLSL". Performance is normal, and I'm having no stablility issues.
Everything is truned all the way up graphics-wise in the game (even the shader
setting) and it looks great. This is with Wine 1.1.42. This is obviously some
kind of GLSL shader problem with Wine, with values either being returned
all-white or all-black on some texures. Without GLSL disabled the problem
diminishes as you turn down the shader setting from high to medium to low (but
there's no "off" setting in the game, drat!). The same problem happens with
some terrain in the game as well.

Florian, I was wondering how you got your Edain workaround to work however,
since a NO-CD crack is needed to run the game on Wine, but the Edain mod
doesn't support no-cd cracks (crashed and burned myself).

Thanks

I know Edain does not work with cracks.
At the time I did the workaround it was possible to play with the original cd.
It worked with properly configured drives in winecfg.
I don't have the game installed at the moment so I don't test it for now.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 650
days. Is this still an issue in current (1.4 or newer) wine?

Characters are not white anymore, it's fixed.
