[Bug 17588] New: Strong Bad's Cool Game only shows black screen

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17588

Summary: Strong Bad's Cool Game only shows black screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.16
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I haven't played the game Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People in a few
months, but last time I tried playing it the game worked (after getting a
native d3dx9_36.dll). Since then this specific DLL has been implemented into
Wine itself, apparently.
In 1.1.16 I tried rerunning the game and now two new problems (regressions)
appeared (I'm making two bug entries).

The first problem is this: when running the game, NO graphics show, I only see
a completely black screen. Wine continuously prints out messages like this in
the terminal:

fixme:d3d_draw:drawStridedFast >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502)
from glDrawElements @ drawprim.c / 276

To prove that the game DOES actually run: I'm hearing sound and music.
I use an integrated Intel chipset (Eee PC) and run XUbuntu Intrepid.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.29 or newer) wine?

It seems to work fine on my PC with ATI Xpress 1100 chipset using free drivers
(it works even though the free drivers only mostly have 2D acceleration!). I
will test it on my NVidia and Intel computers later to see if it works as well
there.

Instead, other problems started popping up, probably requiring their own bug
reports:
1. There is no text visible. For example, the main menu has 3D models of the
main characters on the right, menu buttons... everything but the text that's
supposed to go inside the buttons. The terminal keeps outputting the following
lines at this point:

fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 909200449 (as fourcc: AL16)
WINED3DFORMAT!
fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(909200449) in the
format lookup table
fixme:d3d:debug_d3dformat Unrecognized 909201952 (as fourcc:  R16)
WINED3DFORMAT!
fixme:d3d:getFormatDescEntry Can't find format unrecognized(909201952) in the
format lookup table

2. Using Wine's d3dx9_36.dll results in the following error before aborting:

wine: Call from 0x7b844673 to unimplemented function
d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXAssembleShader, aborting

File a new bug report IFF one is not already open.

That is Bug 12020.

Does the original problem persist?
Are you sure the eeepc can handle the game?

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.9 or newer) wine?

This has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in 1.6-rc1 or higher or is this abandoned ?

No longer seems to be an issue, no.

Tested the demo,
dd2f18068f16a1353a3490d95723b746cec8050f 
/home/dank/installers/telltale/SBCG4AP_Homestar_Ruiner_setup.exe

Works great with native d3dx9_36.dll on wine-1.6-rc1, so fixed.

I'll file a new bug for the problem without native d3dx9_36.

And might I say I liked the opening quite a bit.
