I've been testing the new release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha this week.
The game fails to start when set to it's DirectX 10 rendering mode.
A dialog box pops up with:
  Your video card doesn't meet game requirements
  Try to lower game settings.

--- Comment #2 from Robert Walker  ---
The game is a free-to-play standalone mod of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. :
Shadow of Chernobyl release.

It has dual render paths: DirectX 9.0c and DirectX 10.1.

So perhaps a good target for Wine Developers to test with?

Technically S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha doesn't crash...
No minidump or stacktrace is created :-)
Just the dialog window and the program exits "gracefully" - once this is
closed.

This looks to be the significant common issue (perhaps):

This dialog was popping up too until I configured wine properly.

To quote the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha Developers:

Q: Will you make LA on CoP engine?
A: No. :) LA is based on SoC engine, which makes it truely atmospheric, and
memorable.

I tried out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat. This appears to have a newer
Xray renderer engine than that used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha never exposes a DirectX 11.0 renderer option in the
main menu... Whereas I can get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat to do so.

Set to the DirectX 10 renderer - the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat Xray
Engine crashes immediately on launch.
Set to the DirectX 11 renderer - the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat gets to
some very messed up menus. Starting an actual game session crashes immediately.

I don't really think it's helpful, therefore, to think of these 2 games as
being interchangeable...

You should not set MaxVersionGL when using proprietary Nvidia driver. If you
really won't to set it use 0x00040005 in order to not limit OpenGL version.

A bit of an OT digression...

Eh, I don't think setting it to 0x00040005 would make any difference currently,
wined3d is creating the GL context with the version set in
gl_info->selected_gl_version, which is one of the supported_gl_versions[]
elements i.e. version 3.2 at most.

This was intentional; we probably want to change it though. I can look into it.

Right, I think I used a patched wined3d when testing something similar a while
ago.

It's also a less of a problem in the current version of wine because we do not
require OpenGL 4.3 for SM5 anymore. However, I think it still disables a better
codepath for SM4+ interpolation qualifiers.

In any case it would be a good idea to retest this bug in a correct
configuration.

I don't think it should, but didn't check. When requesting a core profile, the
driver is allowed to return a higher version profile as long as it's compatible
with the one requested. Of course if there's e.g. GL 4.4 core functionality
we'd like to use it would probably be better to list that explicitly in
supported_gl_versions[] instead of relying on the driver to give us the highest
compatible context.

Nvidia proprietary driver returns the requested version. It's allowed by the
spec:

If version 3.2 or greater is requested, the context returned may
    implement any of the following versions:

* The requested profile of the requested version.
      * The requested profile of any later version, so long as no
        features have been removed from that later version and profile.

Correct.

So:
  - If you're a user and want to try using the highest available core profile,
you should probably set MaxVersionGL to something like 0xffffffff.
  - We should probably add some more entries to supported_gl_versions[].

I've hit a wall now... The game starts but hangs after the splash screen.

The terminal log is spammed with:

fixme:d3d10:d3d10_shader_reflection_GetConstantBufferByIndex

till eventually the game crashes with the standard X-ray Engine debug dialog
box.

Yeah, d3d10 shader reflection is not implemented. The application probably gets
into an infinite loop because we always return NULL from
d3d10_shader_reflection_GetConstantBufferByIndex().
