[Bug 19232] New: since few versions of wine graphics in warhammer40k is not drawn and causes crashes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19232

Summary: since few versions of wine graphics in warhammer40k is
                    not drawn and causes crashes.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.24
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdi32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Recent updates of wine introduced a dramatic fall in Warhammer 40.000 Dawn of
War series. The game used to run on high details on my ATI Radeon 3400 card,
now they barely work on low.
The real problem is the graphics drawing engine - some parts are not even drawn
at all (ex armor of the TAU commander) Also these objects tend to crash the
game instantly. Even the low detail graphics keep this problem even in the game
menu. Fonts also have bacame unreadable.
I tried to use console to get informations on what may be wrong, but there are
only standard fixme lines dropping like mad.
Downgrading to wine 1.01 from ubuntu 9.04 repository solved the problem for me,
so there is something wrong with the newest versions of wine.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 11
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.2-rc2 or newer) wine?

Maybe this is the same bug like this one:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23252

I also have a ATI graphics card and DoW crashes.
Can you please try this fix via regedit:

- Go to the console
- enter the following command: wine regedit
- The registry editor will open
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Go to Software
- Go to Wine
- Go to Direct3D or create it,  if it does not exist: right click "Wine" and
create a new key named Direct3D
- Mark the new Folder(Key) Direct 3D, add a new "String Value" (Zeichenfolge
for german users) named UseGLSL
- DoubleClick UseGLSL and enter "disabled" at the content-field

Ok, i can confirm this bug. Every time i build a TAU commander the game
crashes. The model is not drawn completely as described by Asteroth.
The TAU only exist in the expansion pack "Dark Crusade" so i will add the bug
link to this application.

The mentioned change in regedit fixes the bug.

Sorry i can't do a regression test, because i don't have git on my system and
it's not in the old OpenSuse 11.0 repository.

I will do this as soon as i upgrade to a newer Suse Version.

Well, i don't thik you are completely right.
I use Catalyst 9.3, because there is no newer version available for my graphics
card (Radeon x850)

So i can't go back from 10.12 to 10.10 ;-)

But i agree that the Ati Catalyst driver might be the problem. I will try an
open source driver as soon as i reinstall my system.

I just got report by a user playing DoW Soulstorm who was unable to build the
Tau Commander.

He used fglrx 10.12, after rolling back to 10.10 the problem is gone.

I can't confirm this bug either, running a nvidia card.

=> Close this bug?

Created an attachment (id=33037)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=33037)
Screenshot using open source ati driver

Today i made a test with the open source ati driver (xserver-xorg-video-radeon
6.13.1)

With this driver the graphics are completely broken, but there is no crash when
building the tau commander and the model is drawn completely.

So this is really caused by ATIs closed source driver (fglrx 9.3 and 10.12)

I agree to close this bug. But you should add something to the games
description.

- fglrx 9.3 and fglrx 10.12 cause crashes
- flgrx 10.10 works
- disabling glsl via regedit helps to avoid the crashes:

- Go to the console
- enter the following command: wine regedit
- The registry editor will open
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Go to Software
- Go to Wine
- Go to Direct3D or create it,  if it does not exist: right click "Wine" and
create a new key named Direct3D
- Mark the new Folder(Key) Direct 3D, add a new "String Value" (Zeichenfolge
for german users) named UseGLSL
- DoubleClick UseGLSL and enter "disabled" at the content-field

Hi jost,

thanks for the test and summing the workaround up.

I will add it to the related games soon.

To make this clear, this is only an issue with the tau race, right?

Hi HennR,

i had the crash on several occasions. Most of the times i could not find out,
what caused it.

One other thing i could reproduce:
- In Dow and DoW Winter Assault the game crashed when a scout died.
Reproducable by building a scout team, selecting it and pressing delete.
- In Dow Dark Crusade a dying Scout did not cause a crash.

I think the animation or engine has been updated in Dark Crusade in some way.
So it is not that easy to say.

But all DoW games crashed frequently for me until i changed the value in the
registry. I surely did no finish one single game before without a crash.

This is with a high possibility an issue that occurs with ATI cards only.

Neither the closed source nor the OS driver for ATI cards do work properly.

We saw several such issues that never occurred using a nvidia card.

I vote again for closing this bug.

There's still a possibility there's a wine bug here, I'm hesitant to close it
without a wined3d person agreeing.

In any case, an ATI bug should be filed.

Created an attachment (id=35510)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=35510)
Screenshot using opoen source ati driver + libtxc (S3 Texture Compression)

I cannot test anymore with the offical driver from AMD/ATI, because they are
not releasing new driver versions for my old graphics card (radeon x850) and
their old driver doesnt support newer linux distributions.

So i am forced to the open source radeon driver and i found out, how to avoid
the big graphical problems. The problems went away after installing the package
libtxc-dxtn0. For Ubuntu users this can be done with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn0
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

The developers of the driver cannot include this package by default because of
patents. More information can be found here:

Debian users can find the package libtxc-dxtn0 in Debian Multimedia by
Christian Marillant:

http://debian-multimedia.org/

Anyone else to confirm that this lib fixes graphic issues with ATI cards?

Sorry, if i messed everything up:
This package does probably not help with the original problem, but with the new
problems when using the open source ati/radeon driver.

Now i use Nvidia too. No problems anymore.

We need someone who still uses Ati and their latest proprietary driver
(Catalyst 13.4). If the problem still exists, we would need someone from the
wine time to find out, if it is caused by wine or by the driver ..

No, if there is a problem with catalyst 13.4 a new bug report should be filed.

This one is irrelevant nowadays as it only happened with a driver from 200_9_

+1 for closing.
