[Bug 14164] New: Command and Conquer flashing screen and no full-screen video

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14164

Summary: Command and Conquer flashing screen and no full-screen
                    video
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Command and Conquer (the original recently released as a freebie), has major
graphics issues.  Screen flashes while you move the mouse around and
full-screen video in cut scenes does not play (you can hear the audio).

This used to work fine...the only setting I had to put in the configuration for
the EXE was for the OS (set to 'Windows 95').  That still is necessary or it
hangs/crashes on startup.

I tried setting the virtual desktop option to get it to run in a window, but it
did not solve the problem.

I am running Fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.25.6-27.fc8) and version 173.14.09 of the
nVidia 64-bit video driver.

You said it used to work fine - with an older version of wine, or before you
updated some system software?

with wine 1.1.0 i have same problem with freeware game Brány Skeldalu
(http://plnehry.sector.sk/hra.asp?id=5023)

in menu screen is flashing and mouse cursor leaves trails
in game screen is flashing as if game screen was changing with menu screen very
fast
flashing stops when i put mouse out of window (i use virtual desktop)

while flashing there is repeated message in terminal (it seems to be one line
for one flash):

fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options
0x32fd58/0x32fd48

i hope it is related to original bug and it helps. in case you will need
something more just let me know

another application which blinks for me is Spore trial
(http://www.spore.com/ftl)
but message differs, now with every blink i see this:

fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_CreateQuery (0x13f538) Event query: Unimplemented,
but pretending to be supported

Do you use any non-default ddraw/d3d settings (DirectDrawRenderer=opengl etc)?

Also, if it "used to work fine", then consider doing
http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting, it may speed up things.

i removed old .wine and let wine create new one to make sure eveyrhting is in
default values. then i used wineconfig to enable sound, glsl and make virtual
desktop 1024x768

it didn't helped with any of applications i mentioned (Spore and Brány
Skeldalu) and they still behave the same way as they did. so it happens with
default settings for sure

AFAIK spore is a new 3d game, not likely to be related to C&C which is old 2D
ddraw game.

Between 1.0 and 1.1.4, several bugs have been fixed that potentially could
affect C&C in various modes (opengl and non-opengl).

So this really needs a retest with new (1.1.4 or git) Wine and clarification of
important details.

Created an attachment (id=17979)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=17979)
Log +seh

I use the version included in The First Decade patched to version 1.03 Revision
2 (http://www.commandandpatch.webs.com/), and my only special setting is
Offscreenrenderingmode=fbo (for CC Generals)

I use the game in a window, hence I cannot confirm if the full-screen video
issue is solved. The screen flashes and lags mostly when I open menus and watch
cutscenes, hence like this bug : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6181 .
I believe however that this is due to the fact that I have a multicore
processor; according to this (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4487). I
have attached nonetheless a +seh output, in case if it helps.

Won't install for me in 1.2-rc4, saying it can't find the files on the cd.

No update from OP for four years. Is this still an issue in 1.5.4 or should
this be closed as abandoned ?
