Summary: Silent Hunter III: Fires and smoke visible only with view zoomed far out. Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: knan-wine@anduin.net
In the game, ongoing fire and smoke effects are usually not visible, only when you switch to external camera and zoom far out. I'll attach two screenshots to illustrate.
There's a fixme triggered in d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present that looks suspicious, but might be a red herring. Will attach a plain log as well.
Visible engine smoke is rather important in order to spot ships.
