Summary: Guild Wars: Black graphics in the Eye of the North
                    addon
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.16
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

In the most areas of the Eye of the North addon are a lot of objects with
complete black graphics. I'm using a GeForce 8600 GT with nvidia-current
270.30-0ubuntu3. I have made a screenshot which shows the problem.

Confirming, I'm also experiencing the same, black artefacts in several areas in
the Eye of the North expansion with Wine-1.3.16.
The problem occurs when shader quality is set to medium or high (with low
quality I can't see those artefacts.)

Nvidia GeForce 250 GTS / driver 260.19.36 here.

I must add that I can't reproduce the problem with Wine-1.3.12 (or earlier): it
appears to be a regression.

Does winetricks glsl-disable happen to work around it?

Nope. Disabling vertex shaders does workaround the issue (but it disables most
of the nice effects in the game).

Here's the result of my regression test:

commit 91ac0c37b1f36978d8bf974daf24ad9c77d49d6f

wined3d: Disable vertex shader output clamping.

It looks like NV50+ hardware gets you infinities and NaN's in D3D as well
for
    most things, so we should only need special handling for pow and nrm.

Already mentioned in bug #25965.

The patch can be reverted cleanly on Wine-1.3.16 and that fixed the problem for
me.

The same commit causes similar visual glitches in Spellforce on my system, when
shadowtype is set to 'normal' in the options menu: tall, black column-like
objects appear on the screen in Spellforce.

I have tested this with Wine 1.3.17 and there are no black graphics anymore.

Might want to switch that to fixed so it shows up in
the release notes, maybe GyB can confirm.

Those solid black artifacts are still present for me in
wine-1.3.17-243-ge5c3883 if shader quality is medium or high in Guild Wars:
EotN.
Tested with Nvidia driver 260.19.36 and 270.30.

I have made a look again and figured out that I have set the shader quality to
low a few weeks ago for a test. But I have forgot to set it back to high and
thought this prpblem was fixed.

After setting the shader quality to high the black graphics appeared again.

This is probably similar / related to bug 23906.

I can't reproduce this problem anymore on Wine 1.4 RC5 (NVIDIA driver 295.20)
and this time I haven't forgotten to set the shader quality to high. I have
even checked other areas where the bug is appearing but all is looking fine.

I suspect the fix came from the Nvidia driver update (->295.20) not from Wine.
I'm also running 1.4-rc5 but with the previous Nvidia driver (290.10) and the
problem is still there.
Can you show us which commit fixed it (by running a regression test)?

Shall I compile and test every commit? I think it would be easier if you try to
upgrade your NVIDIA driver first.

Fedora 16 still has 290.10 for a reason.
Alternatively, you can run Guild Wars with previous Wine versions to see if the
problem exists for you now that the driver has been updated.

I have now downgraded the X-Server/NVIDIA driver from version 295.20/1.11.4 to
version 280.13/1.10.4 and I can reproduce the bug again. It seems this is
really a driver problem. If Fedora will update the X-Server and/or NVIDIA
driver the problem will be maybe solved for you too.

Thanks for testing...INVALID then (driver bug).
