Hey,
I am trying to play the game "The Secret World" on my system.
It is a Windows game so I am using Wine to run it.
Initially the game runs, and I can see everything (cinematics and in-game
stuff), but for some reason once I enter the Tokyo flashback, I cannot see the
cinematic or anything in that dungeon.
In the cinematic my screen seems to be completely black.
Once back in-game, all content is dark/black, but I can kind of see where walls
are or the overall shape of my character. Maybe that's what it would be with a
null contrast and 0 brightness? Also the game is still running, I can interact
with the npcs (if I manage to find them) etc...
I tried using stable mesa 10.2.7 instead of daily git but it was the same.
I then tried running the game on the same machine using the Catalyst drivers
and all the visuals were there, both in the cinematic and in-game, so as far as
I can see the issue shouldn't be in Wine.
I don't understand why I'm getting that problem only in that part of the game,
I've passed it using Catalyst, and now I'm able to continue the game normally
with the gallium driver after this strange part...
I am not sure what logs to add to this, since it is a visual issue and I don't
see any kind of error message about it (although it could be hidden in the wine
verbose logs I suppose).
My system:
Radeon 7970 running with Mesa, daily git or 10.2.7.
llvm either daily git or 3.5.0
Arch Linux 64b with Linux kernel 3.16.2
I've tried both wine and wine-csmt, both have the same issue.
Thanks!
