[Bug 25821] New: Anarchy only renders if something else needs rendering at that position

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25821

Summary: Anarchy only renders if something else needs rendering
                    at that position
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.11
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Anarchy online will not render. However if I place a terminal with top running
in it behind the window, that section of the game window will update whenever
the top program updates.

Similarly, a higher framerate can be achieved on another part of the screen by
using a program with a higher output rate (Such as AO's own output)

Ubuntu lucid 64-bit, 1.3.11 patched

Moving the window (With wobbly windows) or moving to the cube allow me to see
the game in full speed, so I presume this is actually a problem with Xorg
mainly.

Does anyone know why this is doing what it is (Or at least know a cheap hack to
render the window in real time)? Other than opening a giant terminal behind the
game with it's own output pumped in there.

Above is a video explaining the bug much better (recordmydesktop has a bug so
I've only been able to open this file in vlc or totem, youtube doesn't even
handle it correctly)

As you can see, the terminator window behind AO is running top at the right
side (With -d 1.0 for a 1 second refresh rate) and AO is pushing it's own
output to the upper left terminal.

This is causing two distinct areas of the screen. The game renders at maximum
quality (What I would like more often) when moving it with wobbly windows,
using the cube, or doing anything else in compiz

I presume the game is properly rendering, but Xorg is not being properly told
to update the screen unless some other application requests it.

This bug is the same behavior that I'm seeing after changes in D3D resolved the
"crash on start" described here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25655

Although the "crash on start" appears to have been fixed and I presume it works
on some systems, I'm now seeing the behavior described in this bug on Mac OS X
10.6.

While this does need fixing, as per your comment in the other bug, I'll compile
wine 1.2.2 with patches cause I can't wait to get back into the game :P

Can someone help me understand a little of the WineD3D stuff?  It's quite over
my head.  The endless "fixme" messages that I'm seeing come from the
buffer_PreLoad() function in dlls/wined3d/buffer.c but I don't see any
significant changes in that file between 1.2.2 and current head.

Inside buffer_PreLoad(), decl_changed is set by buffer_find_decl(), and
buffer_find_decl() is virtually unchanged since 1.2.2.  What would cause the
condition in buffer_PreLoad() where decl_changed would be changed to TRUE?

Per this comment: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25206#c75 I found that

winetricks orm=backbuffer

causes this problem to go away.  I still get endless "fixme:d3d:buffer_PreLoad
Too many declaration changes or converting dynamic buffer, stopping converting"
errors getting dumped to my terminal, but the rendering no longer requires me
to damage the window to get rendering to work.

As of 1.3.22 winetricks orm=backbuffer results in no rendering but returning to
the default setting of winetricks orm=fbo seems to allow the game to render
normally.  Can anyone else confirm?  If so I'm guessing this bug can be closed?

Using wine 1.3.21, with a new .wine directory (so I guess default setting for
rendering), rendering is fine.
