Black squares on window in VaraHF
Hi,
i am using an Orange Pi Zero 2W with OrangeOS (based on arch). I am using the latest VaraHF via Wine from aur package wine-tkg-staging-wow64-bin.
With the aur packge box64 0.3.4-2 it worked ok (but i could not use winetricks due to an error); so i switched to box-git (installed 30min ago). With that winetricks is working well, but I get black areas on my window. See attachment.
As the version change of box64 made this happen, I chose to put the issue here. Any idea?
I did some experiments with -0.3.4. and -git.
When using a fresh wine prefix and starting the application the first time, it's looking ok. When I close Vara and start it again, the black areas are there. And it´his seems to be with both box versions. So maybe the problem lies somewhere else.
On my desktop its running ok. I will try wine-tkg-staging-wow64-bin there without box64.
1.) Using the same version of wine on my desktop w/o box64 shows no problem at all. 2.) On the first start of Vara with box64 (Main window looks ok), one of the settings windows is also blackened.
I did some more experiments: 1.) Sometimes its working for a few restarts of the program before finally blackening out. I cannot surely say, what "condition" changes... 2.) When it works, you see all the blocks black for a split second, and then showing the actual components 3.) When it does not work any more, the mouse symbol is not visible in the window and it seems I cannot click anything. 4.) In any case the settings window is mostly black. 5.) It seems that when it's not working, the following part is not logged:
0024:fixme:pdh:PdhVbAddCounter 09E3BF18, "\\ (0)\\% Processor Time", 0020F964: stub!
0024:fixme:pdh:PdhVbAddCounter 09E3BF18, "\\ (1)\\% Processor Time", 0020F964: stub!
0024:fixme:pdh:PdhVbAddCounter 09E3BF18, "\\ (2)\\% Processor Time", 0020F964: stub!
0024:fixme:pdh:PdhVbAddCounter 09E3BF18, "\\ (3)\\% Processor Time", 0020F964: stub!
6.) The program changes the audio device in its ini file. Maybe this is related. I may do some experiments soon.
When the ini references a real audio device, it's all black like in my first screenshot. If it references a fake audio device name, only the bottom box is black. In all cases the audio settings dialog is black and not functional.
When I disable audio by setting sound=pulse with winetricks and BOX64_NOPULSE=1 then even the settings dialog is shown properly. So this definitely related to audio devices.
No. But I don't know VaraHF very well.
What I'm wondering is: is it a regression on box64 side or is it a newer version of VaraHF that broken it?
I'm new to both. But i saw the Last commits of @AndreRH citing vara as example and regarding wow64. As I am using a wow64 build of wine, may he might have an idea?
I mentioned it in the context of a dll build of box64, which is supposed to be used in a arm64 build of wine. Note that this is the opposite of what you are doing (running x86_64 wine in box64). Though if you just want it to run, you can try https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover which has pre build packages for what I mentioned. I think I might have exchanged some msvcrt component of the vara installation to make it run though...
