[Bug 12143] New: Black halos surround NPCs in Fable

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12143

Summary: Black halos surround NPCs in Fable
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.57.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Screenshot of the symptoms

In Fable: The Lost Chapters (Version 1.0), a graphical issue was introduced as
of 0.9.57. Unsightly black, halo-like artifacts surround NPC characters. I've
attached a screenshot to illustrate. I was able to reproduce the issue on two
different systems. Additionally, I've tried rolling back to 0.9.56 and 0.9.55,
and was unable to reproduce the issue on either version across the same two
test systems. I'm fairly sure this is a regression introduced in 0.9.57.

Best regards,
-Chris

Got it to work on 1.0-rc1. It needs both native quartz.dll and d3dx9_36.dll.

After adding the following settings to my user.reg (thanks to John Moonsugar
for the tip), everything works as expected in 1.1.4:

[Software\Wine\Direct3D] 1202692143
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
"VideoMemorySize"="512"

...where "512" should equal the actual amount of video RAM you've got. Does
that fix the issue for you also?

It doesn't for me, I didn't have "[Software\Wine\Direct3D] 1202692143" in my
user.reg so I added it myself. There are no changes in the game, black halos
still appear. When I quit the game, things I added to user.reg aren't there
anymore.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.16 or newer) wine?

I haven't been able to repro the issue since 1.1.4. Similarly, I have not been
able to reproduce the issue in any version since, including 1.1.16. In fact,
the game runs faster and smoother than in previous versions.

Since I spotted this bug closed I went to try Fable. The halos are present on
version 1.1.10 (installed through PlayOnLinux) and at least since 1.1.15 that
Fable doesn't work (as reported also by other users in appdb). If I still have
time this weekend I'll try to find out from which version did Fable stopped
working (OT for this bug, though).

I did not notice before the message above to set registry entries. It was
sufficient to make the halo disappear. Sorry for the inconvenience.

BTW, could someone explain what to do with

[Software\Wine\Direct3D] 1202692143

it works with the 3 values, anyway, but I would like to put the information in
appdb.

(In reply to comment #13)
You use regedit. NEVER EVER should you be editing system registry files
directly.

Ok, I think I got it, that line was referring to a direct change in the
registry file. Since I was using regedit anyway, the line didn't make sense to
me. Thanks.
