Is it a well known limitation that not all texture formats are supported in the wine DirectX implementation yet, or should I file a bug report for that?
I have some missing (black) textures, and the following console output:
A workaround by winetricks is no bugfix. On the other hand a fixme is no bug per se.
So what you would report is the glitch in the affected application, the black textures, which in this case could be narrowed down nicely to unimplemented functions.
Right. I was just thinking that this might be an obvious well known missing feature, or already reported in some form, so it wouldn't really be worth opening a new bug report about it.
Of course you would search for similar bugs. But if you don't find it, you could file the bug. If it is then identified and closed as a duplicate DirectX bug your bug report may still give indications to the developers that there is another affected application. In the other case you add that brief information to the existing bug.
Bug triaging does not seem to be a real issue for wine development. I know that other projects have a problem with that and even discourage actively filing bugs.
