Summary: GUI doesn't redraw in Argentum Online Product: Wine Version: 0.9.32. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P1 Component: wine-directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pabloseibelt@gmail.com
The game Argentum Online works only after copying a lot of dlls, look at AppDB if you want to test this to see the problem. The problem is that there is a GUI made in Visual Basic 6 and somehow the Direct Draw engine overlaps the GUI in black, this is, in GDI, on OpenGL(Changing DirectDrawRenderer in regedit) it doesn't get overlapped with black, but it doesn't get redrawn either, so you can't see console messages, and can't switch/use items from the inventory.
Considering to make this work i had to use a *lot* of native libraries, i don't see this fix coming up soon, and it's ok, i understand it.
Keep up the good work, hoping to join the dev-team when i know some more programming!(May be 2-3 years? heh) =)
