[d3d9] Medieval 2 Total War produces black lines on world map
Note
I transferred this report from #1985 because I couldn't check for duplicates properly. I'm having the same problem.
Medieval II: Total War with it's retail release on DVD has black lines on the campaign map. I have tested battles and haven't seen this issue. This also doesn't happen with WineD3D.
I have been using Lutris, as it really made installing a DVD game with Wine a lot easier. I hope that won't cause any problems for tackling this issue.

Apitrace file(s)
I haven't had the chance to create apitrace files as of now, but I'll make sure to add them soon.

The dxgi.log is empty.
Another bug to add is, Alt+Tabbing won't work at all. The game is always on top with DXVK, but WineD3D again works.
The alt-tab thing is a known issue with DXVK but unlikely to be fixed.
I see. Thanks for the information.
The problem with Medieval 2 needs an apitrace so we can look into this.

I'll try creating one now. The wiki page for it recommends using WineD3D but I can't reproduce the issue with it, so I'm supposed to use DXVK, right? Just making sure.
I doesnt matter whether you can reproduce the issue while making the trace. Either WineD3D or DXVK is fine.
Alright, I have created the file but it will take some time to upload as it is huge. (2.6GB)
I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Hi, @K0bin
Here is the trace file on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p2b3bLJqcCRThXHU8yYuo2GtPi7aK6p9/view?usp=sharing
One other is that loading screens go fully black with DXVK. This is too insignificant, so I don't know if you'll even want to check it.
@tpurde You forgot to change the access permissions on that file. I'm not allowed to download it.
Sorry, my bad. Should be fixed now. @K0bin
Hey @K0bin, excuse me for disturbing but have you had a chance to look at it?
No, not yet.
Alright then. Have a good day.
Putting this here so we don't forget about it:
@CME42 found out that the problem is caused by DXVK returning incorrect pitch values when locking a RGB8 D3DPOOL_SCRATCH texture. The problem is that RGB8 is not supported but we allow creating scratch textures for unsupported formats. We do however rely on a valid format mapping in various places like when locking an image.

-Unfortunately, the game really doesn't want to be traced. It basically froze while I tried to trace it. I did manage to get an apitrace, but I did not get as far as the point where the bug happens.
