Bug ID: 39560
           Summary: Thief Gold - Black screen when going underwater and
                    accessing inventory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.54
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux

Created attachment 52708

Wine output when running the game and reproducing the bugs listed.

-Background Info-
Thief Gold (with TFix patch) used to run exceptionally well (no
issues/bugs/graphical errors) around September 18, 2015 on Arch Linux (with
everything up to date, so I was using whatever wine and mesa versions were
available at the time). I went on a hiatus from playing the game until
yesterday (I still used my system and updated to the newer releases of things
like wine and mesa, etc) and now whenever my character goes underwater the
screen turns black, and when I try accessing the inventory it turns black also.

-Bug-
When going underwater my screen will turn black, if I surface back on top of
the water the game appears normal (this will continue). If I try accessing my
inventory, instead of the item showing the screen just turns black and it is
impossible to get the game looking like it did before.

-What I have tried to do-
I have tried reverting back to older versions of Wine AND mesa but the problem
persists. I am begininng to wonder whether it is something like an xorg server
update causing the problem, if that is possible.

Oh, I also wanted to provide some screenshots as examples. Here are two

The strange thing is that the screen turns black but the bubble/oxygen texture
is fine.

I am sorry for commenting again but I just realized I did not post my specs. I
am using an AMD 7950 with the RadeonSI drivers with Mesa 11.0.4.

Is it possible that you set the OffscreenRenderingMode registry key to
"backbuffer" since the last time you played the game? In any case, if that is
set please drop it.

What version of Wine did you go back to to retest? Try 1.7.50 or older if you
haven't tried already.

BTW, next time please attach the screenshots to the bug instead of linking to
an external site.

Hmm, I have used the setting "winetricks orm=backbuffer" to try to run another
game, but that was a long time ago.....I think. I did run that command though
at least once but not for trying to get this game working. If there is a way to
ensure it is not using backbuffer please let me know. I do not know how to drop
it. I tried wine-1.7.51 and wine-1.7.50. Wine-1.7.50 was available in Arch
repos in August 28th, that is as far as I went as I began playing this game
after August 28th (around September 18th and I was keeping Arch up to date) and
the game worked fine.

ATM, I applied an HD Mod patch for this game and it "solved" the issue for now,
textures are different but the issues I described in OP are not present. I
wouldn't really call that saving the problem though.

I'll remember about attachments, sorry.

Thank you for your support btw!

It's stored in the OffscreenRenderingMode registry key, just delete it with
regedit for example (look up http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys for the
exact path.)

So I take Wine 1.7.50 is also broken for you?

Yeah, it sounds like the mod is a workaround for your issue somehow. That
doesn't really help figuring out your problem though :/

Any update on this? Wine has published several new versions of itself since
last report.

I believe the issue no longer occurs on newer wine versions, I believe I tried
it on a release that came out in September of 2016 and it worked fine, it may
have even been earlier than that! I completely forgot about this bug report I
made!
