Summary: Bad colors in game Heroes Of Might and Magic IV Product: Wine Version: 20050111 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cygnus2@post.cz
Heroes of Might and Magic IV version 3.0c have big problem with color palette (?] in game map. This problem exists in newest Wine versions 20041201 and 20050111, in older versions of Wine this game worked without this problem, only with some minor problems in sound and graphics. In newest versions of Wine works faster, without sound problems, but with this problem is not playable.
Color in game map are wrong in big rectangle in center of map, and all minimap in right upper corner. Arround this rectangle are color good, under cursor too.
I thing, this can be bug in any DirectX feature implemented to two last versions.
Now i tested Wine and this game at my desktop with Gentoo, graphics resolution 1280x1024 24bit (nVidia GeForce 2Ti, driver version 1.0.6629, XFree 4.3.0.1, kernel 2.6.9 vanilla).
I can send screenshot, if you need.
