Wine version: wine-0.9.46-310-g5a47043
Distro: Gentoo Linux 2007.0
GCC version: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)
Program: Call of Duty 4 Demo
Command: (from installation dir) `wine iw3sp.exe`
Reproducable: Always

When starting up the Call of Duty 4 demo, two error messages come up:
"Video card or driver doesn't accelerate dynamic textures."
"Video card or driver doesn't support separate alpha blend, glow will be
disabled."
The CoD4 console pops up (see screenshot) and the game doesn't start.

I am attaching +relay and +d3d logs, let me know if I can provide anything
else.

I'm confirming. 
If you set DSCAPS2_SEPARATEALPHABLENDENABLE, it goes further, then fails with
"Video card or driver doesn't support enough textures for the DirectX 9 code
path."

Mirek Slugen got it running (i'm guessing out of the box, so without hacks):
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-October/059790.html

So maybe your video-card is just too old/not good enough. Have you checked if
the game runs on windows with your card?

Please mention your videocard and drivers. Based on the log I guess he is using
some geforce6 card which should be good for this game.

The game could be using some GPU database for selecting certain 3d features.
This can explain why it works for Mirek (I think he is using a modern card as I
see lots of fancy 3d effects) and not for you.

Probably a caps issue. Wine indeed doesn't currently implement separate alpha
blending, and the texture limit sounds familiar as well. The same patch that's
helping 3DMark06 and CoD2 is probably also helping Mirek here.

H. Verbeet: Which patch do you mean? I tried this one:
http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=2936&action=view which was in the CoD2
demo howto, but that just causes another error: "Video card or driver doesn't
support UBYTE4N vertex data." I looked at the 3DMark06 AppDB entry and it is
just rated as garbage, there is no mention of a patch.

Hi, i am using only patch for 3DMark and ET:QW, nothing else.

The game works with highest graphic settings, only Depth of Field, Soften
Smoken Edges and Shadows has to be off. I have GF7900GT.

In game, there is one major bug, i can't see my gun or other units, so it is
only for testing, not for playing.

      Video Card: GeForce 6600 / Ati Radeon 9800Pro or better

I think your video card isn't supportet by the game. Your video card is a
fx5700LE or did the game run under windows?

If it's useful, the game runs using the latest Git and patch:

That's using a Geforce 7900 GTX, with the 100.14.19 x86_64 drivers.

EA Durbin, that UBYTE4N error happens for me without UseGLSL enabled, when
enabled it starts.

You may already have it enabled though and your card maybe really doesn't
support it.

other objects.

I just downloaded sources from newest wine release 0.9.53.
compiled it and installed it and it works. (there were no binary packages yet)
beware though, compile make take a while! (athlon 2400+)

no further problems on my system with an graphics card: nvidia n6600
cant run high graphics though with tha card, but games plays smoot in windowed.
now, I am afraid I forgot if I applied the patch for 3d mark on this one
correctly.

only git reset --hard origin definitely removes all applied patches.

If you guys are interested grab it from wine-patches and test it in this game.
It requires GL_EXT_blend_equation_separate and GL_EXT_blend_func_separate.
