| Pixel Shader Mode | Allow use for pixel shader mode. |
| Vertex Shader Mode | Sets mode for vertex shader mode. |
Direct 3D settings
| Option name | Description |
| Multisampling | Allows/disallows the use of multisampling. Multisampling is not allowed by default although it works fine in a lot of cases. |
| DDraw Render | Select what backend to use for DDraw. Valid ptions are:
|
| LockMode | RenderTargetLockMode selects which mode is used to read and write the framebuffer while it is locked.
See https://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information. |
| StrictDrawOrdering | This option ensures any pending drawing operations are submitted to the driver, but at a significant performance cost. |
| Offscreen Mode | OffscreenRenderingMode selects which mode is used to render offscreen images/textures.
|
| Use GLSL | When set to "disabled", this disables the use of GL Shading Language for vertex and pixel shaders, it will result in a fallback to ARB shaders. By default GLSL is enabled when available. (It is default as of 29/10/2007 or Wine 0.9.49) See https://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information. |
Nonpower2Mode | Texture Repacking can be quite CPU intensive, and warhammer 40k is the only game so far that needs nonpower2 texture repacking so it's turned off by default but can be turned on via setting key to repack. |
OpenGL settings
| Option name | Description |
| Disabled extensions | Space separated list of OpenGL extensions that are not reported to applications. Example: "GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object GL_ATI_fragment_shader". |

"axis type" is one of: X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz, Slider1, Slider2, POV1, POV2, POV3, POV4. To find the joystick name run: 'WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine game.exe 2>&1 | grep joydev_enum_device' Example output: trace:dinput:joydev_enum_deviceW Enumerating the linux Joystick device: /dev/input/js0 (Logitech Logitech Dual Action) Example registry entry: "Logitech Logitech Dual Action"="X,Y,Rz,Slider1,POV1". (two "Logitech"s not a typo) |
