Short feedback:
- Max Payne 2: works as expected, I don't see any visual changes
- Morrowind: 3D rendering breaks completly, minor (blending?) issues in
the menu as well - however ingame scenes are fully black now
How should I report this? Open a bug? Should I do any regression testing
(since your patchset consists of more than one patch)?
Greets,

Do a regression test to locate which patch breaks Morrowmind.
If you know which patch might have broken this, start there. If you do
not, a normal regression test is a good idea.

It will always be the last patch.
This patch does the real thing, the others
are just making the infrastructure more flexible. So a regression test in
this case is mostly useless

So what should I do then?
What about opening a metabug and adding all apps what break with the new
code? Or do you wanna have all this in separate bug reports?

Just file a bug
report, assign it to me, and make it clear that this new
code breaks things.
I have one reported problem fixed already, and I am currently working on
AoM. I'll send an updated set of patches later today.
My sense is that there aren't many bugs, but more like 2-3 problems breaking
a lot of games.

Here is an updated version of the patches. Can you retest the games? (the
ones that worked already as well as the broken ones)
What are the differences?
-> Proper handling of RHW vertices which do not come from a vbo(should fix
Star Wars Jedi Knight 1)
-> Proper handling of the alpha value in the lighting code(+ a test). Fixes
the water in AoM.
Those issues had a quite big effect potentially, so more games may be fixed
now.

Oblivion has rendering errors in the menu (white boxes). Also the
status/action bar isn't drawn correctly (both with fbo). Should I file a
bug?
WarCraft 3 had some glitches with the previous version but it is fixed
in version 2 of the Vertex pipeline replacement patch.

Yes, file bugs please. I think I have Oblivion here somewhere, this should
be easier to debug than Morrowind.
Note that it will be a while before I send another version of this. I did
some benchmarking, and there isn't much of a performance improvement. In
most cases the replacement pipeline is slower. We still need it some day, so
I'll continue the work, but this makes it less of a priority. I also think
that we can improve the performance quite a bit, but it will need quite a
bit more work.
