Hi! A classic Czech RPG game, Gates of Skeldal, has been released for free download. I've tried the game for my children, but it seems to have a problem in wine. Installation is perfect. Running the game basically works, intro video plays well, but then the problem occurs. Starting the game causes that every mouse move or other activity quickly swaps forth and back the correct window contents with a previous one, which should not be displayed anymore (like the in-game window and main menu window). Not all the window is always swapped, sometimes just some areas flash forth/back. To be even worse, the mouse pointer is not properly erased, so the window begins filled with its traces. After a while, the window is totally garbled and playing is impossible.
Synchronously with this problem, the wine console starts to be flooded with the following message:
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd58/0x33fd48 fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd38/0x33fd28 fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd4c/0x33fd3c fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd7c/0x33fd6c fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd80/0x33fd70 fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd38/0x33fd28 fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd4c/0x33fd3c fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd7c/0x33fd6c fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd38/0x33fd28 fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd4c/0x33fd3c fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd7c/0x33fd6c fixme:d3d:IWineD3DSwapChainImpl_Present Unhandled present options 0x33fd38/0x33fd28
Is it possible that this fixme refers to the real cause or the problem, or are these messages just harmless, not related to the problem ?
Tested on a today's git. The game can be freely downloaded (cca 188 MB) there (it is in Czech, but the menu is easy and anybody can find how to control the game):
