Unusual Fuchsia Color Around Bitmap Sprites

[Moonwave]

I am running into a graphical bug while attempting to play a game called Fairyland Online.



Wherever there is a sprite with transparency, the sprite shows up with a strange fuchsia/pink color.

I see some similar bugs on Bugzilla:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20391
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26221
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39014 - most useful but still doesn't provide exact solution
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38547

Is this a bug that could possibly be fixed with applying certain winetricks? Has anyone encountered this bug before on a different program? Let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix this graphical bug.

After doing some research. It might be due to the game requiring DirectX 8. I know Wine has DX9, but I have heard that it might not be fully compatible with DX8 games. It could also be due to OpenGL.

What version of macOS are you running?

What version of wine is being used?

Also provide terminal output

I am running on Mac OS Mojave. I have tested on multiple versions of Wine, all with the same result. Current build is with WS9Wine5.6.

Here's an output from terminal after running the game for a minute:

So your using my fork of Wineskin along with the Winehq wine5.6.

Not sure why your using X11 display driver you really should use macDriver.

If madDriver doesn’t work try changing to a staging engine that might resolve the issue.

Also officially that games servers were taken offline I’m assuming your playing on a private server?

Yes, it's a private server. I have seen people get this bug on the official servers too. I tried Mac driver and got the same result. I just tried staging and got the same result too (fuchsia/pink sprite blocks). Here is the output:

Could it possibly be an issue with DirectDraw or DirectX?

If you want to try seeing if you can run the game for yourself, here is the link:

Just run Fairyland.exe - when you get to the login, you can type any username and password you want to get into the game.

I’m getting the issue even using the very latest wine-devel-5.19 seems this will require a bugzilla for this to be resolved

I ended up getting it to work. All I had to do is change Fullscreen from 0 to 1 in sys.ini inside the FairyLand folder.
