[Bug 13612] New: Graphics glitches in the Sam and Max games (just with nVidia?)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13612

Summary: Graphics glitches in the Sam and Max games (just with
                    nVidia?)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The entire Season 1 (and probably 2) of Sam and Max titles from Telltale Games
suffers from odd graphics glitches. The games otherwise work fine, but the
animated characters are incorrectly drawn. Many are either completely or
partially invisible. Some, like the main protagonists Sam and Max, have some
segments of theirs stretched out and pointing into the distance.

This message may be of relevance, it gets flooded on the terminal launched
from:
fixme:d3d_draw:drawStridedFast >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x502)
from glDrawElements @ drawprim.c / 269

The issue is discussed on the AppDB pages. Some appear to be having these games
running flawlessly, and I suspect this is an issue limited to nVidia cards and
drivers. I'm running the proprietary nVidia driver version 96.43.05 on a CentOS
5 distribution, with a GeForce4 Ti 4800 graphics card.

I've tried almost every wine version from 0.9.54 or so to 1.0rc3 and the
problem has been present throughout.

For testing this bug it may be interesting that the full Episode 104: Abe
Lincoln Must Die! is available for free at the Telltale Games website. Wine
should probably be set to "Windows Vista" to run it.

I could't find a wine version free from this bug. I tried 0.9.59, 10rc3 and
1.1.1.
I'm running nvidia driver 71.86.04 (legacy) on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, with an
Nvidia Geforce4 MX integrated GPU.

I'm having issues with episode 104 on both ATI and Nvidia hardware, and on the
latter is actually the only one reasonably playable. It's quite possible we're
dealing with a regression, though the most recent Wine version reported to work
with the game is 0.9.56, and I can't get anything older than 0.9.57 to compile
on my setups (Ubuntu 8.04.1 and Mandriva 2008.1).
> From my tests so far, on both 0.9.57 and 1.1.1, the game crashes after the

Teltale logo with an unhandled page fault on a Rage 128 and a Radeon Mobility
7500 using the MESA open source drivers.

On a Radeon X1950, using ATI's proprietary fglrx drivers, the game starts with
Wine 0.9.57, but while sound can be heard, the screen remains solid white.
1.1.1 is better, but the grapics are so glitchy (crude, unanimated and
untextured models floating around) that the game is basically unplayable.

On a Nvidia GeForce 4200 Go with non-legacy proprietary drivers, the game
produces the same results as described with both 0.9.57 and 1.1.1.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.13 or newer) wine?

Yes, just tried with 1.1.13 and it looks just like it did before.

I just tried 1.1.26 and after that 1.1.25, but neither would give me any visual
at all - the screen remains entirely black. I can hear the intro so it's
running, but I can't see anything.

I haven't tried versions between 1.1.20 (which still at least gives a buggy
visual) and 1.1.24 so I'm not sure where exactly it turned this way. Given some
time I may test those, but perhaps this is no longer the same bug?

I tested it with older versions of wine. It works the same until 1.1.22, with
which it crashes at start. ("The program SamMax104-exe has encountered a
serious problem and needs to close.") With version 1.1.23 it works again and is
still affected by this bug.

That is the last version I can confirm this with, since with versions 1.1.24 to
1.1.27 the visual is entirely black. So technically speaking I can't see this
anymore, but it's hardly an improvement. Should I file a new bug?

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.44 or newer) wine?

It's impossible to say whether the graphics would still be corrupted, since all
I have gotten since wine 1.1.24 is an entirely black screen. I haven't tried
every version in between, but it is still the case with 1.2-rc1.

Yes (black screen), but I'm not sure why you would want to test with a demo
when "Episode 104: Abe Lincoln Must Die" is free.

This may be related to #7411 and #21251; "parts of character extending to
infinity" sounds very familiar.

Comment 21 on #7411 also mentions that Live for Speed starts but is unplayable
because of everything is black, which is exactly what Sam and Max does to me
since Wine 1.1.24.

Please retest in latest wine with nvidia driver branch 285 or 290. If this is a
nvidia bug it's invalid.

The newer branches don't support my hardware. In fact I can't even try the
older branch anymore, since I've moved to Scientific Linux 6 and the older
branch kernel module no longer loads (Compiles and links just fine, but upon
loading it some ELF checks fail and module is considered corrupt. Have found no
remedy so far).

I'll see if I can try this somewhere else, but it may take a while.

Okay then; same hardware as in #1, nvidia-driver 96.43.20, wine 1.4. The black
screen is now fixed, but the geometry bug remains.

Tested elsewhere with wine-1.4-rc1 on a nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS
285] card with nvidia-driver 260.19.36: it looks fine, bug is not present.
