[Bug 13760] New: Rome Total War reports insufficient video memory at maximum quality

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13760

Summary: Rome Total War reports insufficient video memory at
                    maximum quality
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When running Rome Total War game, if fails to load the battle scene and exits
with the following message in console:

Generic Error:
Insufficient video memory to load requested texture set.

Under Windows it works well on the same machine and the same settings. The
video card has 500 Mb video memory.

After setting to low quality, the game works well also.

What video card do you have with how much memory?
What does Wine report the amount of memory as? (Enable d3d debug channel and
search for "of texture ram".)

You still haven't answered Vitaliy's question - what video card do you have?

You can override the autodetection and set it yourself. [1] I'm not a wined3d
expert, but I believe the autodetection is conservative. Since there are 6800GS
cards with less than 512 MB of video ram, it sets it as such.

Well anyway I think i could be better if it could auto detect the actual RAM
size (probably get this info from Linux?).

Yes that would be nice, but can you try setting the registry key and see if
that helps?

Can you please specify what I should place in the registry to change the video
memory size?

I've created HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\VideoMemorySize 
as dword parameter and set it to 512(dec). But wine stile thinks I have 256 Mb
video memory. Probably I did something wrong.

No, it's because that registry setting / wiki description is misleading. The
registry key sets the amount of texture memory, which probably is not be the
same as the amount of memory set in directx.c.

Created an attachment (id=14370)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14370)
patch to override video card memory autodetection

Please try this patch. You can leave the VideoMemorySize registry key as it is.

If you run with WINEDEBUG=+d3d, it should say:
"Use 512MB for vidmem"

What are you patching? Wine already has an override for this. You have to use
string parameter not a dwork for registry. You will be better of reading what
the wiki page says right at the top.

Closing won't fix. There is no reliable way to get video memory size for _ALL_
cards on _ALL_ platforms.

I've changed the registry key. It now says that there 512 Mb of RAM when
started in debug mode, but still exits with error message when starting a
battle:

Insufficient video memory to load requested texture set.

So this bug should be reopened.

Does this demo have the same issue
http://www.gamershell.com/download_10207.shtml ?

Or do you have another link to a demo, which has the same issue?

With this demo the same issue: it reports insufficient video memory for
textures, but I was unable to start the demo with any settings, even at the
lowest quality.

Still in Wine 1.1.7.

Also some units displayed in low detalization even if the level of unit
detaliozation is set to high/highest (although the gameplay becomes
significantly slower).

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.20 or newer) wine?
