Tiberian Sun invisible menu (again) plus animation issue

Post by lehjr »

OS: Mint 14 64-Bit Cinnamon (based on Ubuntu 13.04)
kernel: 3.6.3-030603-generic
Game: Tiberian Sun (latest free version)
WineVer: 1.5.18
X.Org X Server: 1.13.0
Note and other information: This is while using the suggested registry entries.

The game loads fine, and everything works until the point in the game where the control is turned over to the player. At this point there is no animation at all unless the mouse is moving and any attempts to bring up the menu results in it being invisible. I don't know if this is related to bug#6921 or not. The default output during gameplay is pretty limited, and although I am aware that WINEDEBUG can be set, I'm not entirely sure what to use to get the output required for finding the cause of this issue.

currently, this is all that wine spits out:

Code: Select all

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33ec6c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:winediag:AUDDRV_GetAudioEndpoint Winepulse is not officially supported by the wine project
fixme:winediag:AUDDRV_GetAudioEndpoint For sound related feedback and support, please visit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1960599
fixme:dsound:DSOUND_WaveFormat Limiting channels to 2 due to lack of multichannel support
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33ee1c,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16

Bug 6921 was fixed four years ago. What you describe sounds like http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29700. You didn't mention what graphics card/driver you are using; the last comment in the bug reports suggests the problem might be specific to ATI cards.

The bug report hasn't been updated in quite awhile; you should add a comment indicating that it is still an issue in current Wine.

Thanks, video card is an Ati Radeon Hd 3450. I'd say that bug you mentioned is the likely culprit for the mouse/animation issue, but do you think the invisible menu is related or do you think it's a separate issue?

Apparently I missed the comment by Omega420 on this page http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=4277 where a typo in the "HowTo" is pointed out. Tested with the typo fixed and it works, but much better in a new xsession.
