Summary: Huge flicker problem when playing Dragon Age fullscreen with ATI card Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: rig9919hd@gmail.com
I am trying to play Dragon Age Origins using ATI Catalyst driver with Radeon HD 4870.
I will just list the combinations of settings and their results rather than try explaining whats happening.
TEST 1 winecfg: desktop emulation on 1600x900 in-game graphics: fullscreen on, 1600x900 command used to launch: wine daorigins.exe result: launches fine and things are ok until I alt-tab (to hide the taskbar, because it still has focus) to give full focus to the game window and then massive flicker occurs with weird color changes. unplayable
TEST 2 winecfg: desktop emulation on 1600x900 in-game graphics: fullscreen off, 1600x900 command used to launch: wine daorigins.exe result: everything's fine, but not ideal because when mouse goes to bottom of screen while playing, taskbar pops up if
TEST 3 winecfg: desktop emulation off in-game graphics: fullscreen on, 1600x900 command used to launch: wine daorigins.exe result: huge flicker problem, unplayable
TEST 4 winecfg: desktop emulation off in-game graphics: fullscreen on, 1024x768 command used to launch: wine daorigins.exe result: playable but not ideal because my screen is 1600x900
TEST 5 winecfg: desktop emulation off in-game graphics: fullscreen on, 1600x900 command used to launch: startx `which wine` daorigins.exe -- :1 result: huge flicker, unplayable
TEST 6 winecfg: desktop emulation on, 1600x900 in-game graphics: fullscreen on, 1600x900 command used to launch: startx `which wine` daorigins.exe -- :1 result: best result so far, no flicker, good resolution, but about 20 pixels are cut off the bottom because of desktop emulation being on
It seems like anytime the game is played at "real fullscreen" the flicker problem occurs.

It's not bug 22383 because StrictDrawOrdering=enabled does not fix it. Bug 23081 is not the same either because the entire screen flickers and becomes corrupt, not just the shadow under the character. Bug 23730 does not match either because the mouse does not have to be moving for the screen to flicker. Once the game has total fullscreen focus at my full resolution of 1600x900 (with no wine desktop emulation, and no taskbar visible) the screen goes haywire. Here is an error I've just noticed:
ERROR: Could Not Find D3DKMTEscape in gdi32.dll Could Not Find D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromHdc in gdi32.dll

(It'd be interesting to hear if switching to an nvidia card fixes it, but it's probably unreasonable to ask you to borrow one and try it.)

In my case the mouse works just fine and the movies are not the only thing affected. Actual gameplay video is flickering.

Is this still an issue in 1.6-rc2 or higher or is this abandoned ?

--- Comment #6 from Felix Yan felixonmars@gmail.com --- I also get this occasionally, but with Nvidia card (9600 GT) and the binary driver. Wine version is 1.7.19.

--- Comment #7 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.51 or newer) wine?
