[Bug 31338] New: Max Payne 2 shows white screen and nothing else

Bug #: 31338 Summary: Max Payne 2 shows white screen and nothing else Product: Wine Version: 1.5.9 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: michael@araneidae.co.uk Classification: Unclassified

When starting Max Payne 2 (The Fall of Max Payne) from Steam after the video mode selection and the initial logo the entire screen goes white and stays white. The Steam in-game popup appears at the bottom right, but there is no text, only white boxes, and when the game gets to what is presumably the initial menu all that is visible apart from the white screen is three small greyish rectangles. Nothing appears to work.

Does the downloadable (non-steam) demo also show this problem? ( http://www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne2/downloads/MaxPayne2DemoSetup.exe )

What video card and drivers?

Good point, forgot (ought to be on the bug list form!)

HD 6950 with Radeon drivers (lib32-ati-dri 8.0.4-1 and allies) on Arch.

Will try the demo tomorrow and report.

I've annotate the point at which I launched the game. These three lines catch my eye:

those lines are present for me as well.

Did the game work for you with previous Wine versions? Could you try lowering gfx details, disable some of the effects in the launcher to see if that makes a difference?

Well, that's interesting: the demo works perfectly!

(Something goes wrong when the game exits, it churns out

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

messages until I kill it with `wineserver -k`, but that's an unrelated issue.)

(In reply to comment #5)

Yes, my run transcript below shows them as well, so red herring.

Did the game work for you with previous Wine versions?

Bought it on steam last weekend (in the sale), so never tried it before.

So what on earth is the Steam version doing wrong? My steam runs in a different prefix, guess I need to also try installing the demo under the same prefix and see what happens.

Here's the run transcript (with endless repetitions of the last line elided):

--- Comment #7 from Michael Abbott michael@araneidae.co.uk 2012-07-28 02:52:47 CDT --- Ok, now trying installing the MP2 demo in the same prefix I use for running Steam. The installer gives me a popup saying:

Your system does not have AGP Acceleration enabled.

Note that I did *not* get this when installing the demo in a fresh prefix, so this is very fishy, in particular it's nothing to do with what's installed on my system, it must be something local to the wine prefix.

However, the demo still works and the steam version doesn't. So there's something different about the Steam version of the game...

You could reinstall the steam version again in a new prefix as nor the demo or the steam version are working in the "broken" prefix.

No, that's not what I'm saying. Here's a little matrix:

Fresh prefix, demo: Works perfectly (except for a weirdness on shutdown)

Steam prefix, demo: Works perfectly, but installer complains about missing "AGP acceleration"

Steam prefix, steam version: Doesn't work

Fresh prefix (well, actually, the same one I already installed the demo in), steam version: Fails with white screen as before.

This is the last attempt if you dont count my last reply (very old mesa and wine). Can we just assume worksforme since none seem to reply into this.

Best to go for that for me: haven't tried for what will be coming up for four years now...

--- Comment #19 from Wylda wylda@volny.cz --- I have just DVD version and it works without any issues.

Last AppDB marks it silver for wine-1.6-rc5. Steam version was successfully tested under wine-1.7.49-143-gcfbc37c in Comment #15.

Assuming fixed. Please re-open if the problem persist for you.
