Summary: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time screen transitions
                    to black
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc1

In the game PoP: SoT, in-game water effects cause the following glitches: the
screen turns to black intermittently, as you rotate the camera with the mouse.

How to reproduce the issue in the demo:
1. Start the demo, create a new profile. If you suffer from the 'fog effect'
bug, go to options and turn off 'Fog effect', but make sure 'Water effects' are
enabled.
2. Start a new game, move your character into the light (skip the video), when
your character re-appears switch to first-person view (by pressing 'F') and
turn the camera with the mouse >> see the intermittent black-outs.

During gameplay the console is flooded with the following two lines of
messages:

err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_select >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION
(0x502) from glUseProgramObjectARB @ glsl_shader.c / 4718
err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_load_constants >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502) from glUniform4fvARB @ glsl_shader.c / 757

Workaround: disable in-game water effects or disable pixel shader support in
winecfg's Graphics tab.

Prince of Persia The Sands of Time, black screen (appears white when I use a
virtual desktop)

For me it happens (with the full version) when I start a new game and I first
enter a building, if I look around, sometimes I see black. It doesn't have to
be first-person view, it also happens in normal view.

Still a problem with wine-1.3.20-230-g456e48e.

Workaround(s): 
either disable in-game water effects or disable GLSL.

I can confirm the problem with wine 1.3.17 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with an NVidia
320m chipset (GOG version of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time).

The problem (blackouts in PoP:SoT when water is nearby) has been fixed by
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/68e0cd430f2e57e55278acd24221273...

On the other hand, this commit causes incorrect water rendering in several
games, including PoP:SoT (reported in bug #29350).

Is this safe to close as fixed or we should wait for the resolution of bug
#29350?

Commit 472fed41dd6238f9aead069da1d46f609daf425c (which fixed bug 29350) didn't
help here. However something like the attached patch seems to do the trick,
hopefully without breaking anything else in the process... Can you give it a
try and see if it causes regressions? In particular, please check whether bug
29297 is still okay with this patch.

Thanks :)

The patch indeed fixes the remaining problem with water rendering in Prince of
Persia:Sands of Time.
Cold Fear (bug #29297) is still okay with the patch. I keep testing the patch
with other games as well.
