Starting with wine 0.9.42 I continuously get the following error trying to start EVE:
fixme:d3d_draw:drawPrimitive Using software emulation because not all material properties could be tracked
And I just get a black screen for the login screen and it'll just sit there forever like that.
The error keeps being reported over and over until I close the window.
Everything worked very well with 0.9.41
Any thoughts? Anything I can do?
Thanks,
Stephan

Do a regression test and report a bug:

Eve worked for me yesterday when I tried it.
The fixme written is not an error, it is a sign of the proper fix for the lines in the starmap. EVE uses a lighting setup which cannot be set up in opengl, so we have to fall back to a slow rendering path, doing a sort of software emulation. I have added the rather noisy fixme to get a warning when other games show the same behavior. The problem can be fixed properly with a fixed function pipeline replacement shader, but this would be a lot of work. Specifically for eve, the lighting setup is equal to disabling lighting entirely. We could make use of that, but it would be a really nasty application specific hack.
