Bug ID: 47449
           Summary: Nin Online: Black Textures
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.11
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: dx8vb
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

This bug happens in multiple distributions and versions of Wine.

1. Install GDIPlus (Windows 7+)
2. Install Dx8vb DirectX8.1
3. Install DotNet40
4. Install CoreFonts

https://www.ninonline.org/index.php

This game has black texture bugs. It also does not transfer DirectX8 API calls
to DirectX9 the same way it does in Windows.

The texture bugs are black and do not use transparency (opacity) in some
sprites and tiles on game map. It does not affect the GUI I think.

--- Comment #1 from Olivier F. R. Dierick  ---
Bug triage notification:

Issue in a single application is severity 'normal'.
Read more about severity levels descriptions there:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs#severity

URL filed in the URL field and 'download' added to keywords.

If you did use native dx8vb, then the issue is certainly not in built-in
component dx8vb.
I'll set component to default 'unknown', until we have more knowledge about the
cause of the graphical issue.

Please, attach a normal (without WINEDEBUG) terminal output.
The instructions to do that can be found there:
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_can_I_get_a_debugging_log_.28a.k.a._terminal...

Hello,

That's not a valid debug log.

Make sure you follow the instructions at point 10.1.1 from the link I gave you.

--- instructions ---
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/Tron
wine tron.exe &> log.txt
--- end instructions ---

These instructions are for the game 'Tron'. You have to replace 'Games/Tron'
with the path where the executable file of your application is, and 'tron.exe'
with its name. You also have to replace '~/.wine' with the path of your
wineprefix if it's not the default.

Regards.

The game uses DirectX8. Wine fails to convert DX8 to DX9 as it does in Windows,
so it resorts to DX8.

It is using Visual Basic 6 and PureBasic. PureBasic works almost perfectly
though, aside from the timer being off a bit for the logo when you start the
game.

- Wine 4.11 (release tag) 64-bit wineprefix;
- winetricks : dotnet40, dx8vb.
- winecfg : virtual desktop 1152x864, no WM decoration/management;
- game settings left at defaults (1024x768 window, auto rendering).

Regards.

The game appears to be working for me now as well. I believe it was a Wine bug
as I am using the staging Wine without no problems. I am not sure if it is
using DirectX9, but it wasn't working correctly for me or one of the people at
Lutris.

There's another problem with it, that the DirectX9 wrapper isn't converting
calls to DirectX9 like it does in Windows. I believe the graphical bug was due
to installing GDIPlus in Winetricks.

Hello,

I confirm the issue with native gdiplus (see attached screen shot). It renders
the game completely unplayable because when going outside of the building
nothing is visible (only the purple background and rainy fog are visible - no
characters, ground tiles or objects).

Setting gdiplus back to builtin (or simply removing the gdiplus dll override
altogether) in winecfg fixes the issue in an existing wineprefix.

The use of DLL overrides is not normal use of Wine.
They are only workaround for wine bugs where the builtin component doesn't
work.
The game works fine with builtin gdiplus and native gdiplus is not required.

A developer might be curious to know why it doesn't work with native gdiplus,
but for this bug tracker rules, the bug is invalid.

The other issues (the game not working with wine-mono and builtin dx8vb) should
be reported separately.

Regards.
