[Bug 14847] New: UFO Extraterrestials: Problems with mouse cursor and textures.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14847

Summary: UFO Extraterrestials: Problems with mouse cursor and
                    textures.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Problem with mouse: cursor is shown not exactly there where it is, for exmple,
when cursor is graphically shown a long away from button - the button is
selected, when it is on button - button is not selected.
 There is some problem in inner game mouse driver, because, when i am changing
mouse sensitivity in file "ufo-et.ini", that is located in "data" directory
from 255 to 100, image of mouse cursor starts to be much closer to there, where
it actually is. But not exactly. And some times image of cursor again starts to
go far from exact cursor location, for example: sometimes when rotating the
globe or in tactical mode, when shooting.
 Problem with textures: when in "ufo-et.ini" "scissortesting=true", that
default is, there is not seen in global mode: images of soldiers; research
tasks; rifles, pistols, grenades and ammunition of soldiers; and name of the
save game that is being enter when saving game.
 When "scissortesting=false" all of that is shown, but name of the saving game
is very little, project names is also very little, images of soldioers and
weapons is also very little. And everything of this is not on its place, for
example images of weapons is right and down from its location; images of
soldiers are placed down from its locations; names of projects are right and
down from its location, but they are selecting and activating by mouse at that
position where they must be.

Wine Errors when unable to launch UFO Extraterrestrials

Wine shows this in console, when sometimes it is fault to run UFO
Extraterrestrials, may be the problem is in fglrx. I am using 8.49.

To run UFO Extraterrestrials in wine, there is need to delete all files and
directories in data/videos directory.

1.1.21 there is still issues with the mouse, yes.

this is actually an exact duplicate of
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881 this bug, that was closed (which to
me, seems to be of some miscommunication - the bug was or is not resolved
still)

Was bummed too, just got the game :(

 Hello.
 I'm sorry for not answering - it is because I don't use Linux and therefore
Wine for a long time. But anyway - you are doing good job, and if this error
will be fixed - it will be very good.

Hi, using wine-1.2 there is still the same cursor issue however the textures
seems to be shown properly
I still have to run UFO Extraterrestrials with data/videos removed, otherwise
although the movie plays the game freezes at the end of the movie.

Greetings, using wine-1.2 there is still the same cursor issue.
I have to run UFO Extraterrestrials with data/videos removed, otherwise
although the movie plays the game freezes at the end of the movie or when it
interrupts. Intresting, but when playing movies - sound plays with it.

Confirming this bug to still exists as of Wine 1.3.11.

I used "UFO Extraterrestrials Gold" version of the game that was bought,
downloaded and installed from Steam.

Setting sensitivity=0 in the game settings ini almost "fixes" the bug: game
cursor gets displayed right at place the game would receive click at. But there
are some situations in game when mouse cursor desync occurs. Most of the times
desync happens when I hold down right mouse button to do something, for example
to move the geoscape.

Had tested this game under VirtualBOX + Windows XP + Windows build of WineD3D.
Looks like problems with mouse cursor desync also happen inside VirtualBOX, but
only in case I do not enable "Absolute pointing device" in the properties of
the VirtualBOX VM. However there are no mouse cursor desync problem on the
system running native Windows XP (i.e. not under virtual machine).

Looks like the game seems to use some rarely used Direct Input mode that isn't
correctly emulated by Wine and by VirtualBOX, but works good in the native OS.

This bug is fixed.

Mouse problems were fixed by Xinput2 support.
Problems with textures were fixed somewhere during 2009-2010, I hadn't been
able to reproduce it ever on my workstation.

Problem is that the game now is totally unplayable as it crashes at start with
no ways to workaround it due to some incompatibilities with wine's
implementation of dsound/directmusic. I had done regression testing and would
post separate bug report today.

P.S. I had already posted a report concerning UFO:ET crashing at start due to
wine's dsound/directmusic long ago (bug #25728) but there wasn't a lot of
activity over that report since.

Confirming, cursor problem is fixed.

But there are no textures in tactical missions. Everything is black around
except of images of soldiers.
Even setting "scissortesting=false" in "ufo-et.ini" does not solve the problem.

Peter, would you please provide a us little bit more details? What is
essential: Wine version you had used, GPU vendor and driver version, any native
DLLs overrides, any changes to the default contents of ufo-et.ini, e.t.c.
Thanks in advance.

Mach64/r128 are not relevant. From the version numbers I conclude that you use
MesaGL and open-source drivers for your GPU. It is well known that the current
state of open source GPU drivers is far from perfect so your best bet would be
to install Catalyst/fglrx binary drivers blob from AMD and retest the game with
it.

Huh, and what about sound, have you got any problems with it?

It should be enough to only replace d3dx9_26 - this is one the game actually
use.

While it's true that the free drivers aren't exactly perfect, I generally have
better hopes for things working with r600g than with fglrx. The problems with
r600g are typically related to performance rather than to rendering correctness
or stability.

In this case we have 10.04 LTS which results in pretty old stock KMS/DRI2/Mesa.
Also keep in mind that not every user out there is rebuilding Mesa with dload
support for S3TC decoding and installs accompanying third-party lib. So I still
would recommend to give Catalyst a try.

P.S. BTW, Henri, what should Peter do in case he would get perfectly rendered
picture with Catalyst driver and bugged render with OSS driver? Whose bug
should it be considered - Wine or Mesa?

Peter, forgot to ask another thing: do you use desktop compositing in Kwin
and/or Compiz? If the answer is positive - please, try to retest with desktop
compositing turned off. Indirect rendering sometimes can result in really
strange consequences.

Dear Alexey, I decided to install ATI's driver. I downloaded the latest .run
file: ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run
Well.... I installed.... It is starting, but I see only the nice blue
background of the wine's desktop. What I did(doing) wrong?

Sure. I guess the point I'm making is that in the general case moving from
r600g to fglrx isn't necessarily an improvement. (And black textures like that
could actually be a case of missing s3tc support, although you'd have
corresponding errors in the Wine debug output then.)

Likely Mesa, but you can't always tell without someone debugging it first.

Peter, I had send you a message directly to your e-mail so we don't spam
wine-bugs list with discussion about how to get Catalyst driver installed on
Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. Inform me in case you didn't receive that message, I would
resend it if needed.

Peter, I sent you three messages yesterday, two from my mail.ru mail boax and
one from my gmail account. Looks like their all had been lost in transit, I
suspect that it is the fault of ukr.net. Also I had received two messages from
you, including one with the note about Russian language and another one about
ICQ. Unfortunately I do not use ICQ nowdays. Maybe you've got another mail
address I can contact you on? Any mailbox on big public service like gmail,
mail.ru, yandex.ru, hotmail.com would do. Another place we may contact on it
Steam, my account name there is "lexatwo". Also nowdays I'm pretty frequent
visitor to the official Steam forums (got same nickname there) and also you may
PM me on ixbt.com forums (lexa2 nickname).
