wine users - Mar 2012 - Re: Halo:Combat Evolved with black text and overhead

I am also having the same issue.  I have upgraded to the latest wine in the
Ubuntu repositories (1.3 beta), but that doesn't fix the issue and makes
things worse my messing up my sound... anyway, here is the log file created as
was requested in a previous post:
http://pastebin.com/Fv2rfh6C
 The 1.4 RC is not available through the repos...at least not the repos I have. 
I'm not going to cry over not having Halo, but it is a bit annoying to know
that it USED-TO work properly.

Please also keep in mind that I am not a coder... I switched to Linux for moral
reasons, but I am willing to learn what I need when I need it.

Thanks

I tried wine 1.14, 1.15, ATI catalyst 12.1, and now 12.2. Same problem.

I saved the console output (KhanTG's has full output) for both nvidia and
ati. I noticed one difference between the two outputs:

ATI catalyst (the dark text one):

Code:
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.
fixme:d3d:state_lastpixel Last Pixel Drawing Disabled, not handled yet
err:d3d:state_pscale
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glPointSize(...); @ state.c / 1562

err:winediag:shader_generate_glsl_declarations The hardware does not support
enough uniform components to run this shader, it may not render correctly.
err:d3d:state_pscale
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glPointSize(...); @ state.c / 1562



Nvidia fglrx (the one that works):

Code:
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.
fixme:d3d:state_lastpixel Last Pixel Drawing Disabled, not handled yet
err:d3d:state_pscale
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glPointSize(...); @ state.c / 1562
fixme:d3d:state_multisampmask WINED3D_RS_MULTISAMPLEMASK 0 not yet implemented.
err:d3d:state_pscale
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glPointSize(...); @ state.c / 1562



Basically, ATI catalyst has one extra line:

Code:
err:winediag:shader_generate_glsl_declarations The hardware does not support
enough uniform components to run this shader, it may not render correctly.



Could this be a clue?
