           Summary: Distant impostors does not work in Lord of the Rings
                    Online
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.25
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: eric.ladner at gmail.com


The "distant impostors" setting has no effect.  The way it implements distant
impostors, I believe, is substituting a flat 2d texture for 3d objects that are
very far from the camera, giving more detail to the landscape without having to
render 20 million polys for the trees.

See
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/group/?app_parent=4029;forum=1;msg=51056
(second post from the top) for screen shots comparing LotRO running on Wine and
Windows and the difference "distant impostors" makes.

I've verified that it doesn't work on 1.1.24 and 1.1.25 (although 1.1.25
crashed a lot for me on LotRO for some reason and I had to revert back to
1.1.24).

I'd be happy to provide any extra debugging info if any would be helpful.
