Hidden And Dangerous - crashes after the ESRB notice is shown
The game works fine with WineD3D, but crashes after the ESRB notice is shown. I've captured a trace of the game with WineD3D, but it looks broken on replay (with lots of missing textures and models) - perhaps even the latest apitrace has some issues with proper capture? The game looks perfectly fine graphically with WineD3D, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
The good news, I guess, is that the trace reproduces the crash with d8vk (although the ESRB notice was not captured, and only a black screen is shown for a few seconds).

Seems like it expects R8G8B8 and P8 even though we don't advertise support for those.
@WinterSnowfall can confirm it still crashes on 1.0?
@AlpyneDreams Yes, still very much crashes when it attempts to load the menu. I believe you had looked at the trace in the past and concluded the game needs texture palette support (P8) to work properly.
Did some more testing here and confirmed that by doing something rather silly like the below in D3D8Device::CreateImageSurface:
// use the backbuffer format if FMTD3D_P8 or D3DFMT_R8G8B8 is requested
if (Format & D3DFMT_P8 || Format & D3DFMT_R8G8B8) {
d3d9::D3DDISPLAYMODE pMode;
GetD3D9()->GetDisplayMode(0, &pMode);
Format = D3DFORMAT(pMode.Format);
}
Gets the game to startup properly, but obviously texture format conversions aren't handled so everything looks psychedelic.
The game depends on us properly supporting (or converting) both FMTD3D_P8 and D3DFMT_R8G8B8, which apparently WineD3D is handling properly.
On a funny note, WineD3D is also reporting both formats as unsupported, however the game doesn't seem to care and proceeds to use them anyway.
