[Bug 19155] New: Ankh2: main character, NPC and other things black without UseGLSL=disabled

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19155

Summary: Ankh2: main character, NPC and other things black
                    without UseGLSL=disabled
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

With default Wine settings, that is without UseGLSL="disabled", the app
exhibits several related defects:

- The characters (Assil etc.) are drawn completely black.
- The intro displays black blocks on (correct) dark blue blackground instead of
the Deck13 logo in white and yellow.
- The game's first scene (alley/Gasse) is completely black except for the
passage to the illuminated main street. With "disabled", it's merely very dark
and Assil is visible (dark), which seems normal for this scene.

OTOH, The app seems to merit gold rating with UseGLSL=disabled, but it's too
early to tell after mere 10 minutes testing.
Alas, in both cases, there's a white square as background to the mouse pointer,
but that's another issue.

The logs are similar in both cases (not attached) and don't show anything not
already known from other apps (>1 backbuffer etc.) that work well.

Observed on nVidia Mac OSX 10.5.7, XQuartz 2.3.3.2 and Wine compiled myself
with nothing but Xcode 3.

For me turning off GLSL doesn't help.
The only think that makes the game work is turn of PixelShader support in
winecfg.

Jack Keane (from same publisher: Deck 13) is also affected:

The switch to Shader Model 2.0 in Wine past wine-1.1.24 makes things even
worse. Ankh2 is unplayable since, as there are too many visual glitches in the
scenes,  the menu and the intro, everything is extremely dark, except for the
fonts, while a continuous stream of GL_INVALID_OPERATION glDrawElements @
drawprim.c;
scrolls by.

Andi,
For me, turning off PixelShader support in winecfg as you suggest does not help
at all.  It is really only UseGLSL=disabled that makes a difference.
Strange.
What is your graphics HW? Mine is NVidia 9400M in "early 2009" Mac mini.

Confirming this for Jack Keane, another app from Deck13/10tacle.
Using with wine-1.1.34 on MacOS 10.5.8 with NVidia 9400M mac mini.

Does the demo 
http://download2.microapp.com/ankh2/Ankh2-DEMO-Setup-FR.exe
show the problem?

I now tried out the French demo. From the little testing I did, it seems to
behave much like the German retail version. What's new is that in wine-1.1.36,
Ankh2 becomes playable at the lowest in-game settings -- except for one issue:
all inventory items are black, so 1.1.24 is still better. The lowest settings
are:
- no full screen effects (seems to cause black Deck 13 logo);
- middle level of details (high seems to cause black characters)
- low or no shadows (works best in Ankh1, higher levels cause
  incorrect background textures in Ankh1).
"UseGLSL"="disabled" or disabling the pixel shader was not needed anymore!
I'll retest the other Deck13 apps I own when I'll have time again.

So the short summary that's awaiting confirmation is that this issue may be
fixed except for the black inventory items which is a regression.

Testing with 1.1.39, UseGLSL=disabled is not needed anymore.  Ankh2 (and Jack
Keane) present correct graphics when setting the low/middle level of detail and
no full screen effects as indicated in comment #8.

Also, the inventory items at the top of the screen are displayed correctly. 
Closing.

OTOH, with UseGLSL=disabled, the graphics are the same, except the inventory
items are black.
