Bug ID: 36031 Summary: 9700M incorrectly detected as 9400 Product: Wine Version: 1.7.16 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: funkydude87@hotmail.co.uk
Running the Battle.net client and attempting to launch WoW. Using the nouveau drivers under 64bit Ubuntu 14.04 and getting a warning message:
OS: Windows XP x64 service pack 2 Card: Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT
It is a warning that my system is below the minimum recommendations. When launching the game, certain graphical features are disabled that are otherwise enabled under Windows.
This is a laptop with a Geforce 9700M GT, it thinks I'm running a 9400 desktop card. It also thinks I'm running XP SP2, not sure if that's correct or should be SP3.
lspci result of my card in linux: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G96M [GeForce 9700M GT] (rev a1)

--- Comment #2 from Henri Verbeet hverbeet@gmail.com --- That's essentially the same GPU, though probably clocked differently, etc. (See also http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/) Just to verify though, glxinfo does report that as "NV96", right?
I doubt the slight difference in the reported card is causing this issue though, it's more likely that the GL driver doesn't implement some feature that we need to implement some D3D feature, and WoW warns because of that. I.e., I think it's more likely that this is about the reported D3D device caps than about the name.
Common issues there are missing support for floating point textures or S3TC texture compression, although I can't say if that's the case in this specific instance. Does the application create any kind of log file with more detailed information about what it thinks is missing? If not, perhaps the first 1000 or so lines of a WINEDEBUG="+tid,+d3d" log could be helpful.

--- Comment #3 from funkydude funkydude87@hotmail.co.uk --- Some features say "unsupported for graphics related reasons", others say "requires a GPU with shader model 3 support".
I'll look into a winelog and check glxinfo.
Can't it be fixed to correctly recognize the card though?

Not easily. That's mostly because Nouveau doesn't distinguish between those cards, and we depend on it to get our information. Perhaps that GLX_MESA_query_renderer can help in the future by matching on PCI ID, but it will probably be a while before we support that, and even then it's not clear we really want to go there.

--- Comment #5 from funkydude funkydude87@hotmail.co.uk --- So this isn't just a matter of a modification like this ticket? http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35486
Browsing directx.c I don't see any mention of an nvidia 9700, as if it's missing.

--- Comment #6 from funkydude funkydude87@hotmail.co.uk --- I'm also confused how this could be an issue with nouveau providing you the wrong info but I can see it identified correctly in Linux itself using nouveau... but I am a total noob at these things. :)

I'm afraid so. I'm not sure what else to reply, beyond repeating comment 4.
But card detecting aside, I think that the issue you're really trying to solve is some features being disabled in the game, and it's likely to be an unrelated issue. Perhaps a WINEDEBUG="+seh,+tid,+d3d" log will contain some helpful information.

--- Comment #13 from funkydude funkydude87@hotmail.co.uk --- Where does one place that variable to enable that enhanced logging?
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36031
--- Comment #14 from Henri Verbeet hverbeet@gmail.com --- At the start of the command line. So e.g.:
WINEDEBUG="+seh,+tid,+d3d" wine Wow.exe >> trace.log 2>&1
The resulting log file may be large, so you'll probably want to compress it with e.g. xz before attaching it here.

There should be better support now. Its just that OP isnt too responsive.

After reading all bug I'm not sure http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=5f4c496480d2b07711e37185de... really fixes this or not. But I will let someone else decide. Since OP didn't answer comment 14 and no longer has the required hardware it could also be abandoned.

It does, sort of. If you have a version of Mesa with GLX_MESA_query_renderer, and a GeForce 9700M with 10de:064a as PCI ID, it will match that entry in gpu_description_table[]. It won't help if you have a GeForce 9700M with a different PCI device ID. (Provided those exist.)

There was nothing to answer. It took 2 years for my original request to be serviced. I pointed out the problem in comment 7, then was told I was wrong, then 2 years later apparently I was right? :-)
The original warning WoW was printing was a hardcoded warning for detecting cards below the minimum spec. It was detecting the card as 9400, hence I requested that be resolved. It is highly unlikely any form of feature detection was actually taking place for displaying that warning.
The point is moot now. Even if the card is correctly detected now, I doubt that it will pass WoW's latest minimum specs heh.

Henri asked for a log in comment 12, you didn't know how to do in comment 13, he explained in comment 14, you did not reply to that, this is what I'm talking about. But this is just an unfruitful discussion, better resolve as fixed as other bugs related to detecting cards.

For what it's worth, with both Mesa 11.1.2 and Nvidia 340.93 drivers (tried separately) the 9700M is now correctly detected with this commit.
It won't solve the underlying issue with the reported missing features. What comes to mind is that WoW has both a DX and a GL renderer, or at least it used to have. There could be feature differences between these.
While I could try WoW through Wine, I have no way of comparing it with Windows. I can do some testing however.
