Bug ID: 37203
           Summary: Age of Empires II Conquerors 800x600 launch screen
                    black on wine versions later than 1.7.13
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.25
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

When launching Age of Empires II - The Conquerors using Wine versions later
than 1.7.13, the initial 800x600 launch screen is black. Selections can still
be made by blinding clicking.

I am using Wine on an up-to-date Arch Linux system, kernel version
3.16.1-1-ARCH. I was able to exactly replicate this behavior in Virtualbox
using an up-to-date Arch Linux install and a new, empty wine prefix. Launching
Age of Empires (non-Conquerors expansion) also launches with a black screen.

Downgrading from Wine version 1.7.25 to version 1.7.13 or earlier solves the
issue. The game launches and runs flawlessly under version 1.7.13.

I don't know how to debug in Linux. I uploaded 2 terminal message logs, working
and non-working. I have 2 strace logs, but they are too big to upload here or
at pastebin.com.

Someone else must look into this. But it's a bit weird it cannot open some
audio related file. So you are most likely missing some file or it's not
correctly linked or something like that.

When I have seen those sound underrun fixmes the audio has had some weird
noices.

Also the card recognize code seem to need something...

You could try if alt+tab into desktop and back could give picture (it does
sometimes). Also if using virtual desktop.

Out of ideas currently. Do you use own compiled wine? if so you should try to
look for the files it complains it cant open.

The audio errors may be because I created the files in Virtualbox. My
Virtualbox sound may not be set up correctly. Audio works fine on my real
system - at least under Wine 1.7.13 (I can't start a game in 1.7.25 due to the
black screen). Alt-tab provides no relief. I'm using the Arch distribution's
version and do not compile myself. Thanks for having a look.

Well you could try regression test.

http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting

but you need to build wine yourself. Which can be a bit complicate to setup.

Regression test would give more clear answer what has been changed and what's
most likely to cause the error.

I looked through the Regression testing documentation, but I'm afraid I'm still
too new at Linux to proceed. I'm not giving up though! Also, the latest Wine
1.7.26-1 still exhibits the same black screen behavior. I updated the  version
in this bug report.

I can confirm bug exists in Wine 1.7.43 here.

I've tried every Arch Linux release up until 1.7.43 too and they all have the
same issue. wine-stable-1.6.2 from the AUR works fine.

Have you tried 1.7.13? I managed to get that version working using Arch Time
Machine's archive.

If you have the time, it would be beneficial to try regression testing against
that version.

Edit: Nvm, I guess you must have used that version. 
I would regression between 1.7.13 / 1.7.14 myself, but my internet is dead
slow. :P

I tried with 1.7.38 and it works fine in 800x600, probably is a graphic card
issue, maybe this resolution is not supported, or maybe is a problem with
nvidia dirvers (it happened to me in the past using propietary drivers to have
this black screen). But I confirm that i can play wit mi intel + prime drivers
at 800x 600
