terminal output

A.I.M Racing is a fast-paced, futuristic racing game, published by 1C Company.

The game's own animated mouse cursor is invisible in the menus. However, you
can move the mouse to highlight the different menu options and they're
selectable, but it needs a little practice.
The issue is disturbing only in the menus because during the races there's no
need a mouse pointer.

Sounds similar to bug #23285 but the console output is completely different in
each game.

Workaround: there's an option in the game's config file (/Data/Config/cfg.ini):
'UseSystemCursor'. You need to change its value to '1' in order to get a
standard Windows cursor in the game.

No demo available.

Animated cursors work now, please retest.

screenshot with ORM=backbuffer

Mouse cursor is still invisible in wine-1.3.4-362-gb20e75f, so I don't think
the issue has something to do with bug #16281.

When I changed ORM to 'backbuffer' the mouse pointer is visible but only in a
small area on the left half of the screen. As soon as the mouse pointer steps
across an imaginary 'border', it becomes invisible.

It turned out that this is a regression: the game worked without this issue in
Wine-1.1.13.

The result of regression testing:

bae1ec98ca010016eff3b28677f34f8aab414eb1 is the first bad commit

wined3d: Don't use drawStridedFast() for drawing pretransformed vertices.

This was exposed by adding EXT_vertex_array_bgra support, previously we
would
    almost never hit this because color data being present would already
prevent
    us from using drawStridedFast(). Thanks to Stefan for spotting this.

This is the log containing +d3d,+d3d8,+d3d_shader debug traces while I started
the game, skipped the intros and waited for about 5 secs in the main menu then
exited the game.

> Does this have demo?

Unfortunately, the demo I found is protected by Starforce and it doesn't run
for me.

The issue is still there with wine-1.3.8-431-g4ad97d4 and with my old NV 7600
card: the mouse pointer and most of the menu items are invisible.
However I cannot reproduce the problem with a NV 250 card (using the same
Nvidia display driver). It seems this bug only affects certain range of cards.

I'm closing this bugreport as ABANDONED: no one else reported (or confirmed)
the problem and I'm not going to change vga card regularly to check if the
problem still persists.
