What video card? What drivers? Have you hanged _any_ configuration in Wine
related to d3d? If so, specify ALL you changed.
Also what dxlevel are you running HL2:EP2 with?

Wine graphic card: GF8600GS
Windows graphic card: GF7900GO
(i know this sucks, but I do not have the ability to test on the same machine)

Driver version: Linux: 100.15.19
Windows: 169.21

No specific Wine d3d configuration in registry... should I check anything else?

DxLevel on Wine is 9.0, on Windows it should be also 9.0, bu I'll be able to
check it tomorrow.

I know that test on different graphic card sucks, but I'm really unable to make
a test on the same machine. Besides, flashlight effect in Windows looks very
much the same in Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One on Windows and under
Wine (DxLevel 9.0), and I really doubt Valve developers would change this so
much without an 'in game' explanation.

> Wine graphic card: GF8600GS
> Windows graphic card: GF7900GO

You will have to use the same hardware and same settings before submitting bugs
that something looks different.

On that hardware it should be 95.

Wrong, they really did change the way lights work, especially flash light.

Marking invalid. You will have to run the game on the same exact hardware with
same exact dxlevel and post images to show things are different. BTW you will
have to set offscreen rendering to FBO, otherwise Wine won't be able to provide
required features for dxlevel 90. However, according to Wine's d3d hackers,
dxlevel 90 is unusable and years from working properly.

Ok, I dig out a spare hdd to install XP on it.

Now, I attach 2 new screenshots, again - window and linux, running on exactly
same hardware (GF8600GT) with 169.21 drivers on windows and 100.14.19 on linux.
Graphic settings in Half Life 2: Episode Two where exactly the same under
windows and linux. Under linux, I've set OffscreenRenderingMode to fbo.

I don't know how usable d3d witn dxleve90 is, but 'usability' is no reason to
reject a bug. It is not a feature ;)

I can confirm this issue.

When playing in dark areas under wine, the flashlight is so dark, you can
barely see anything.

Tested on gf 7900 gtx, nvidia 1.0-9755 drivers, ubuntu 7.04.
In windoze it works, of course, with every driver version i've had so far.
