Summary: Simcity 3000: irrecoverable black screen, even with virtual desktop Product: Wine Version: 1.3.19 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: spoon0042@hotmail.com
Simcity 3000 causes an irrecoverable black screen, even when started with a virtual desktop the entire screen goes black and I haven't found a way to fix it short of killing the X server. The cursor still works however. It worked in 1.3.16; regression testing found the following:

wined3d: Forward surface refcounts to the container.
This will prevent textures from being released if one of its surfaces is still in use by the stateblock. We have similar constructions in d3d8 and d3d9, but those won't prevent the wined3d texture from being released.

--- Comment #1 from Piotr Pawlow pp@siedziba.pl 2011-05-06 14:15:43 CDT --- I found the same commit bisecting regression with Painkiller. The game works fine on Wine 1.3.18, but on 1.3.19 the screen goes black, and at first sight it seems the only way to recover is to restart X server. Fortunately, on closer inspection the black screen effect is caused by gamma being set to 0, so something like this from the text mode makes everything visible again:
DISPLAY=:0 xgamma -gamma 1.0
I don't know if this will help with Simcity (I don't have this game), but it's worth a try.

--- Comment #2 from Piotr Pawlow pp@siedziba.pl 2011-05-06 16:12:28 CDT --- I downloaded demo version of Simcity 3000 (link in AppDB), and I can confirm the black screen issue. Restoring gamma works, and then I can play the demo without problems.
The issue with Painkiller, which I mentioned earlier, is that it also crashes, so I filled a separate bug report (bug #27079).

--- Comment #6 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2011-05-10 09:37:54 CDT --- Piotr, thank you for finding out about the gamma! I confirm it with Simcity 3000 (not unlimited).
I feared an XOrg/kernel bug when I had to use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, now it appears every user app can change the gamma and turn the whole screen black, incl. mouse.
Star Fury (demo) -- see bug #27087 -- is also affected by the gamma issue. It uses DirectX7 AFAICT. What's noteworthy about it is that with Wine-1.2.2, a sliding gamma appears to be used to produce a fade-in effect (3 times before it gets to the menu). With 1.3.16, it simply hangs.
That means the gamma functionality was lost even before the above regression introduced the black screen. Anybody with a fast machine to perform regression testing on the downloadable Star Fury demo? My hope is that fixing the gamma might eliminate both regressions.
Is Simcity a DirectX7 app too? Star Fury is incredibly slow (in the menu & credits, never got farther than that). So is SC3 -- bug #26932.

--- Comment #9 from Michael McGuire spoon0042@hotmail.com 2011-06-01 17:41:22 CDT --- Too bad I can't edit. It works for me, but: I still get a ton of: fixme:d3d_surface:surface_init Trying to create a render target that isn't in the default pool. Then I think on exit these show up: fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_decref Device released with resources still bound, acceptable but unexpected. and then a bunch of: fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_decref Leftover resource 0xwhatever with type WINED3DRTYPE_SURFACE (0x1). And finally this: err:d3d:wined3d_device_decref Context array not freed!
Not sure if any of that is relevant since it still does seem to work just fine.
