Bug ID: 53728
           Summary: "Escape from Tarkov" requires
                    "DISPLAYCONFIG_DEVICE_INFO_GET_TARGET_NAME" in
                    "DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo" stub
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified

Attachments for this report.
The video game "Escape from Tarkov" requires the
"DISPLAYCONFIG_DEVICE_INFO_GET_TARGET_NAME" type to be implemented in the
"DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo" function (dlls/user32/sysparams.c).
The game uses that to determine monitor names to list in the ingame settings
menu.
When it first introduced the use of that function, the lack of it in wine made
the whole menu freeze, forcing you to kill the game. That freeze was worked
around by the game developers on their end, since it also affected some Windows
users, but parts of the issue still remain when running the game in wine.
Monitor names in the monitor list in the settings menu are simply blank, making
it hard to figure out which entry in the list corresponds to which monitor. See
"eft_monitors_blank.png" in "attachments.tar.gz" for reference.
Creating a quick and dirty patch to make wine return a string and pretend the
function was executed successfully confirms it is using that function to get
monitor names and the returned string shows up in the list. See
"eft_monitors_names.png" and "dirty-monitor-name-workaround.patch" in
"attachments.tar.gz" for reference.
I should mention that in case other people wanna test the game, it is not free
and makes use of the BattlEye anticheat software, so in order to launch the
game with wine, it requires staging, a patch to load the Proton BattlEye
Runtime (found here, for example:
https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git/tree/master/wine-tkg-git/win...),
as well as the Proton BattlEye Runtime itself (can be found and installed via
Steam by Valve) and the necessary environment variable that points to the
Proton BattlEye Runtime ("PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME"="/path/to/runtime"). It also
needs "corefonts", "vcrun2019" and "dotnet48" installed via winetricks.
I hope those requirements won't prevent this issue from being looked into, but
if they do, I apologize. I was able to put together the quick and dirty patch
to confirm it is indeed just a missing or incomplete function, however I lack
the programming skills and low-level wine/windows knowledge to implement it
properly.
Thank you!
