The Sting!

[geratheon]

Hello!

I'd love to replay an old game of mine: The Sting! or better known as "Der Clou! 2" in german, because it's an austrian game.

It works on wine-1.7.48 -- sort of. (With playonlinux installed on an updated Arch Linux)

It is like the tests in the application list: The game runs flawless, but nearly all textures in the game are black. The game is unplayable like this.

I captured the STDERR and I think the problem lies here:

Code: Select all

fixme:d3d_surface:surface_convert_format Cannot find a conversion function from format WINED3DFMT_B5G5R5X1_UNORM to WINED3DFMT_DXT1.

After googling I found out that a similar bug (just with other formats) in another game leads to black textures too.

So: Is it possible to fix this? Can I get a function and insert it into wine or stuff like this?

Here is the full log.

Thanks!

Okay! After much more googling I found the github of wine-staging with a patch that fixes exactly this.

After 50 minutes compiling the arch package wine-gaming-git on Arch Linux everything works fine!
