Screenshot illustrating problem

Many things in Thief: Deadly Shadows do not properly render text. This makes it
extremely difficult to use the menus, save/load games, or read in-game
instructions. Also, the problem gets worse as you move the mouse around.

What video card, drivers? Have you installed corefonts? How did you installed
Wine? If you self-compiled, then please run './configure --verbose' and verify
that _all_ requirements are meat (and I mean _all_ not those you think are
important). The only exceptions are sound drivers.

Yes it does, in order to get the demo to work (same as the full game) you will
need to place the following in "~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Thief\ -\

I don't think it's purely a font problem.  More than just the fonts are
corrupted:  various UI controls in the in-game menu are decimated.  I will try
to attach a screenshot illustrating this.

Please disregard the above post, comment #7:
I was mistaken, it seems it is the text alone.

Another screenshot of the mangled characters

I attach my own screenshot showing perhaps an extra dimension of the behaviour:
 the streaking lines are quite interesting.

This using a geforce 6200 (NV44a)

I wouldn't have called it a minor bug myself, since along with the escaping
mouse,this makes the game virtually unplayable, despite the 3d engine running
quite well.

This problem (or something related) is worse in the latest wine.  There are now
problems with rendering in-game, whole sections of the screen are corrupted.  I
suppose it is possible I've changed a wine graphics setting since I originally
tested this (0.9.45 according to the bug), but I do not believe that I have.

Retest in a clean ~/.wine.

New in-game problems

Using a clean ".wine" doesn't make a difference.

Things that do not belong are circled in red.  Just like the problems with
text, these things flicker and change as you move your mouse.

Then please consider doing regression test.

I think, it is not a regression, but an unimplemented feature: Texture
Wrapping.
BTW: Severity should be normal not minor, because the game is definitely
unplayable. :-D

i have a feeling that this particular feature won't be implemented anytime
soon, because there is no direct OpenGL equivalent, afaik. and none of the more
popular games seem to use it.

When in menu and in game console spams: "fixme:d3d:state_wrap (WINED3DRS_WRAP0)
Texture wraping not yet supported". As in game as in nemu are 3d objects
still present in 1.1.12. 
affects other game: DeusEx 2: Invisible War.
It slows down the game making it unplayable.
The game works good enough only for very fast systems.

There is a directory under content/T3/pctextures/ that is named fonts, and
seems to have font text data in it. Does anyone know what it is there for? Is
wine trying to use it's own fonts instead of the game's own fonts?

No, wine isn't trying to use it's own fonts (at least I've never seen a
standard font like the one we're having troubles with)

And I know this bug discussion is centered around the D3DRS_WRAP0 errors, but
I'm not convinced they're related.  You often get the text (mostly) rendered
correctly on the first drawing and then any redraw (mouse over buttons, page
flipping books, etc) is completely screwed.  From what I've been able to learn
about D3DRS_WRAP0, I don't _think_ the text would _ever_ have been rendered
correctly if that was the cause of our troubles.

Often there are recognisable parts of related textures (sections of alphabet,
simple lines and other patterns) that are skewed into the bits of misrendered
text.  This is clearly a texture coordinate problem of some sort.

I wish I magically knew enough about D3D to be able to debug further :/

I've haven't seen any of the text rendered correctly on the first drawings. The
corruption level pretty much stays the same as you scroll, mouse over, or etc.,
even though the parts that are corrupted can change. If I am in the options
screen, and I can't read what a certain setting is, I can scroll around until a
few key letters become uncorrupted and I can guess as to what it does.

Also, in case it matters, in windows I noticed that when you alt tab away from
the game with the menu on, when you go back to the game, all of the text will
be completely gone and you are just left with a blank menu with nothing but
blank buttons and such. If you then mouse over the buttons, the text will come
back on that particular button. Going back to the game then the menu refreshes
everything.

This bug seems to have massively improved in 1.1.31 (not sure if the
improvement was earlier, wasn't checking recently).  In fact, the only visual
defect I've noticed so far is small black box speckling during video; otherwise
all the in game menus are legible and usable, at long last!
