[Bug 13110] New: Half-Life 2 doesn't start

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13110

Summary: Half-Life 2 doesn't start
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.61.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Distribution: Ubuntu 8.04
Kernel: 2.6.24
Wine Package: wine_0.9.61~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1_i386.deb
Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce 7900 GT
Driver: NVidia Linux driver 169.12

Half Life 2 doesn't start using wine version 0.9.61, works fine with 0.9.59.

Steam.exe opens up as expected, I can choose the Game and start it there. The
"starting game" message displays just fine. Then, the screen blinks for the
fraction of a second and nothing more happens. I am not able to see or move the
mouse pointer. When I change the focused window with Alt+Tab, the cursor
reappears and everything is normal again. "Half Life 2" shows in the taskbar.
Nothing more happens - if I click on the taskbar entry, the cursor disappears
again. I can kill the Half Life 2 process and return to a functional Steam.

A logfile with WINEDEBUG=-all is attached, but there are not much entries in
it.

Sorry, that was nonsense. WINEDEBUG-all was of course the wrong option. The
attached file was created with: WINEDEBUG=warn+all and there IS much in it.

I can confirm this bug. At least i think it is the same.
I tested with wine rc1.
When starting half life 2, sometimes the screen stays black and nothing
happens, all is see is the intro (the foto of that guy, and then some text
about trademarks)

i start half life 2 with the -dxlevel 80 switch and i use a the latest nvidia
binary driver.

But, the bug does not happen everytime, sometimes hl2 starts normaly

I ran the regression test between 0.9.60 (yes, it works there as well) and
0.9.61.

You need to get a log of hl2 itself using +d3d,+wgl. You likely need to
explicitly set WINEDEBUG in your console as steam launches hl2 in a separate
process.

The output of wine for half life 2 (WINEDEBUG=+d3d+wgl)

I ran wine after "export WINEDEBUG=+d3d+wgl" this time, I think this should
make the half life 2 process log as well. At least the new logfile looks like
it to me.

I killed the wine process right after trying to start half life 2, so there
shouldn't be any Steam related messages at the end of the file.

Sorry, I didn't know the colon was mandatory.

This output was generated after "export WINEDEBUG=+d3d,+wgl", killed right
after the hangup again.

The fbconfig id (GLX pixel format) of the window looks weird. Not sure what
causes it either wine's SetPixelFormat (the client window re-creation part) of
it fails or the nvidia drivers are doing something strange. There is some other
client window problem in Jedi Knight which could be related to this.

Could you try the latest wine git? Alexandre has added some fixes which could
help this (they fixed Jedi Knight).

Logfile after updating git

Doesn't work for me. I proceeded like this:
git fetch
git rebase origin
./configure && make clean && make depend && make

"wine --version" says:
wine-1.0-rc1-104-g2470b0b

"git describe" returns the same version.

The behaviour is still the old one, a logfile with +d3d,+wgl is attached.

Are you fully sure that indeed the new Wine is being started and not the old
one?

Yes I'm sure. There are only two wine binaries on my system: the one in
/usr/bin is version 0.9.59 from the Ubuntu repositories and Half Life 2 works
without problems with it.
The other one is the one I compiled myself.

I just double checked and reran Half Life 2 with the very self compiled wine at
version 1.0-rc1-104-g2470b0b, Half Life 2 doesn't start.

Are there any additional tests I can run or information I can provide?

I ditched Ubuntu today and installed openSUSE instead.
I got the newest wine from the winehq repository and:

IT WORKS.

Distribution: openSUSE 10.3
Kernel: 2.6.12
Nvidia Driver version: 169.12
Wine version: 0.9.64

I have no idea why though. (Same hardware, same nvidia driver version, same
wine version...)

Because this apparently only occurs for ME in a very unique
hardware-software-combination, I'll regard this case as closed.
