[Bug 17398] New: Giants: Citizen Kabuto - shadows appear as flickering pixel patterns

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17398

Summary: Giants: Citizen Kabuto - shadows appear as flickering
                    pixel patterns
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.9
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.giantswd.org/?file=2
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Object shadows flicker a lot to a point of being distracting because they are
drawn as semi-transparent meshes of pixels instead of solid blobs. The
flickering occurs because the mesh patterns keep changing whenever the player's
camera rotates or moves. See this image for a static view of a sample shadow
mesh: http://plouj.com/blinking-mesh-shadow.png

I'm using a relatively old Wine version because that is what is the latest for
Fedora 9. I'm using Fedora 9 x86_64.

My Giants installation has been patched to version 1.4 and it includes the
"Graphical Revision Mod v1.01" from http://www.giantswd.org/?file=2 .

Additionally, I get a lot of repeated messages in the console saying: "Zero
length vector"

Does the demo have the same problem?
http://www.atomicgamer.com/files/26726/giants-reaper-demo

is this still an issue in current (1.2-rc2 or newer) wine?

Yes, the demo has the same problem, and yes, it's still an issue in 1.2-rc2.
I'll attach a screenshot of the tree shadow from Reaper demo in my system
(7600gt/195.36.24/1.2-rc2).
