[Bug 24561] New: Mass Effect: ATI with fglrx drivers renders a black screen during gameplay

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24561

Summary: Mass Effect: ATI with fglrx drivers renders a black
                    screen during gameplay
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.3
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3dx9
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]

Running the game, the main menu and start screen work fine. However, during
gameplay, only a black screen is rendered with the UI. Nothing seems to be
happening in the game(only ambient sounds are heard). There also appears to be
no way to get back to the menu(as far as I could tell).

This is happening also with Nvidia cards, shaders are misvehaving and render
everything as black, this include the Depth of Field shader that fills the
screen with black.

One partial solution is disabling Depth of Field on BIOEngine.ini, changing
DepthOfField as follows.

DepthOfField=FALSE

It doesn't prevent shaders from misbehaving but, at least make the game
playable.

I don't think this is the same problem. It appears to be locked up within the
game(when there is a black screen with only the HUD/UI). You can't access the
menu(pressing escape).

I'm experiencing something similar as well. The game launches fine, shows the
starting videos, the "press any key" part, the menu, but after I create a
profile and start the game, it locks up with the view of Earth - first rendered
frame.

The console outputs this (640 times, of course):

fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log Error received from GLSL shader #640:
fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     Vertex shader(s) linked, fragment
shader(s) linked.

I can also hear the music, but it seems that nothing happens, because I don't
hear the voices and such. Furthermore, it seems that if the virtual desktop is
enabled, it locks up as well (if I put the mouse in the window, it disappears,
and the game does not react). Using Ctrl+C in the console kills it
successfully, though.

Setting Depth Of Field off doesn't help.

Using fglrx, Catalyst 11.5, Wine 1.3.20, openSUSE 11.4.

After further research, I'm pretty sure this is related to bug #7411 and
possibly duplicate. Would be nice to get confirmation from others affected,
though.

Still a problem with fglrx catalyst 12.1 and wine 1.4rc4. Main menu works fine.
Game freezes with the first screen from gameplay.

Game works with AMD open source driver on AMD6850M, no freezes, however current
state of the driver makes game unplayable, no textures. So obviously bug is in
fglrx.

Have you tried disabling motion blur?

Since it seems related to fglrx, I wonder if it's related to bug #23048, given
that it's the same engine (similar time of release, even). If yes, then that's
already in the fglrx bug tracker, and it's the oldest bug out there. If not,
then a new bug report could be created for this.

As of wine version 1.5.9 and fglrx 12.6 this issue seems to be resolved, tested
all graphic settings (except windowed mode) without issue.

I can confirm that with fglrx 12.6 it now works fine.

Also, the keyboard appears to be freezed.
