Bug #: 31846
           Summary: World of Warcraft: graphical glitches with particle
                    weather effects using D3D9 engine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.14
          Platform: x86-64

          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

Screenshot of blowing snow clouds using D3D9 engine

Due to a bug in Blizzard's OpenGL engine I switched to the D3D9 engine.

All works well except for the weather in, among others, Tanaris. During a
sandstorm (sand clouds blowing towards the player) yellow, red and green pixels
temporarily form on the screen, like sand blowing against the screen. The same
is observed in the Valley of Emperors in Kun-Lai Summit, where there's snow
clouds blowing towards the player - see also the attachments. The comparison
with the OpenGL screenshot suggests that the pixels should actually be
snowflakes.

This effect is affected by the particle density setting: decreasing the setting
decreases the amount of pixels (and normally: the amount of snowflakes) and
vice versa.

This bug has been observed using wine versions 1.5.13 and 1.5.14. No others
versions were tested (using OpenGL before). Wine is set to windows XP mode
using default library settings. msvcr80.dll is present in the directory of WoW.

It may be useful to know what video hardware and drivers you are using.  It
works fine for me on GeForce GTS 250 using NVIDIA's 304.51 drivers.

Good point.

$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [GeForce GTS 450]
(rev a1)

I run Ubuntu using the nvidia-current-updates package, which should contain
295.49 at the moment.

I have upgrade my drivers to 304.51 using nvidia's installer. I'm checking
regularly to try and find a sandstorm in Tanaris, but they're not very common.
I'll let you know when I have results.

Finally caught a sandstorm today. No improvements with the new driver.

As an update, this bug still occurs for me with a new GTX 660 card and the
310.19 NVidia drivers.

Is this still an issue?

Well, there's an oldie.

Checked today. With the engine set to D3D9 in World of Warcraft 5.4.8 this
glitch no longer appears.

I'm still using the same graphics card with the 331.38 NVidia drivers supplied
with Kubuntu (14.04). Wine has been upgraded to 1.7.23 (64-bit, manually
compiled).

Looking at the changes (graphics drivers, wine version, WoW version) I consider
this bug to be fixed with the addition that upgrading stuff may be needed to
fix the issue if it occurs.

I'll take the liberty to mark this fixed.

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.24.
