Created attachment 59440
  --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=59440
Logs of the command : "wine csgo.exe"

Detected when I tried to start CS:GO on Steam Windows (started also with wine).
With the logs, it seems to be an D3D error about format.

Config :
- Xubuntu 16.04 x86
- Nvidia GT 430 (Driver : Nvidia Official Binary, V 387.12)

I assume this test was done with the development version of Wine, correct? You
could check if it works with Wine Staging. It ships an experimental stub
implementation of nvapi.

Yes, it was the development version. I installed the Staging, now it work
correctly, no error message !
When a new version of Wine development will be realeased ?

Thanks for your reply

Thanks for testing. There is no fixed date when specific features will be
merged, I would suggest to use Wine Staging in the meantime. So far most Wine
devs thought that there aren't any applications which depend on it, but this
bug shows that this is apparently not the case. Since npapi is Nvidia specific,
a workaround with the dev version would probably be to fake a different graphic
card vendor.

This should probably be marked STAGED with
https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/tree/master/patches/nvapi-Stub_...
(or duplicate of bug 35062 and use that one as a bug for missing nvapi support.
Although I'm not sure if that would qualify as a meta bug, which should be
avoided).

Since it seems unlikely that the two bugs require the same set of features (in
particular this looks like it may be happy with just a stub), I've elected to
mark this one STAGED instead.

If it's worth anything, I don't think it's likely nvapi is going to happen in
Wine. I'd recommend the "VideoPciVendorID" workaround for people stuck with
NVIDIA hardware.

Overriding VideoPciDeviceID and VideoPciVendorID makes the game advance a bit
further (wine 3.3) but still fails

Overriding helps for Call of Duty: Black Ops II fails on launch with "DirectX
encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions."
