Summary: Cossacks Back to War: game not rendering (white screen)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Cossacks Back to War is not playable because I can't see anything - I hear main
menu sounds and sometimes game sounds aswell (if i manage to start it), but it
doesn't render, just a white screen. Got same thing in older wine versions

Is there a demo/download of this available that shows the same problem?

Actually Back to War is an addon to European wars, the demo can be found here
http://www.gamershell.com/download_4217.shtml, but I couldnt reproduce same bug
with it because its just crashing with "unhandled page fault" error

"Cossacks: Euopean Wars" are affected by this bug too. In wine 0.9.55 I got
black screen with gdi (default) renderer and white with opengl one.

Wine 0.9.56 Solved this partially, game now renders (with gdi and opengl), but
screen is updated only when you click menu items. I've uploaded screenshots and
test data for European Wars, but they are not accepted yet.

I investigated this. It seems there was problem with RealizePalette function.
Since this commit:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git?a=commit;h=61c82f8069a34426646f304c2c9...
game renders (with gdi renderer), but that's not end of problems, game does not
redraw - I reported bug 11782.

Could you run a regression test:

@Krzysztof Tyszecki
Is this the result from a regression test
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git?a=commit;h=61c82f8069a34426646f304c2c9...
or is this just a guess?

Is this still an issue in current (1.0-rc4 or newer) wine?

Now I get more than blank screen - I see the main menu but still can't see the
mouse moving, and the screen is being redrawn only when I manage to choose some
menu item. Tested in rc4 with both opengl and gdi

I've got a truncated demo version of the very first Cossacs (about '99), it
doesn't work though - get a page fault from the game itself during loading. The
game doesn't get far enough even to display the first menu. FreeBSD-7.0-p3 +
wine-1.1.2 from ports. This game version is known to work well on XP (all SP),
ME and 98.

Abandoned. If you still have an issue in current (1.1.28 or newer) wine, and
can provide the needed information, feel free to reopen.
