Debug output from Sniper Elite

When playing Sniper Elite, there is a clipping issue in certain consistent
parts of the map where the floor allows the player as well as AI opponents to
fall through and keep falling infintely below the map seeing nothing but the
skybox of the map.  Because oppenents fall through the floor and are not killed
this makes the game unplayabe beyond the first level. Debug output attached.

Confirming this issue as well, using the Steam release of this title, running
with wine-1.1.42  -- the collision detection problems with earlier wine
releases seems very much better with 1.1.42 --- but as said, once you start the
2nd mission this 'fall through the floor' business becomes apparent. I'm trying
to work out if it's related to the map environment, or whether it's a totally
random/sporadic happening.

It happens in specific places on the map. Also in multiplayer, but in this mode
the game is still playable, because you don't fall down endless, just a little
and you can jump out of the "hole".

Indeed, confirming this is the case with 1.1.42 & 1.1.43 as well..although I do
still fall a long way, it is at least possible to get out of the "hole" as you
put it (I call it "SkyboxLand" ;) ... perhaps the positional data being fed to
the process from the server-side helps here?...strange indeed..

Back in single player mode, second mission, I actually stumbled upon a small
line of ingress that lets me get past the point where falling thru the floor
occurs. In this area of the map, I found the collision detection -very- flaky
and it was possible to look thru textures (walls objects etc) & into the skybox
area just
about everywhere...it's possible to move into stationary objects/buildings here
and then fall thru the floor - most frustrating ;)

If you know the location of these "holes", you can avoid them. But in the
second mission you have to protect german resistance members. They must live,
or you fail the mission. In my case, at least one of them falls through the
floor every time. Does anyone have a save file with second mission
accomplished?

Next clue: once I tried to run Sniper Elite on virtual Windows XP (VirtualBox +
3D enabled). Performace was poor, a few fps. But I was able to check if it
works. Guess what: holes were there too, at exact same places.

The bug is fixed. Tested with Wine 1.3.2, probably fixed in 1.2 already.

Indeed, it has been fixed in Wine-1.2-rc2, by the following commit:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=7d5666e084da03fad7f97ab235...

Now the game should receive a much better rating on Appdb.
