http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2905 --- Comment #23 from Anastasius Focht <focht(a)gmx.net> 2012-05-03 17:49:46 CDT --- Hello, --- quote --- I did, it was related to the Direct3D crash. I'm was talking about the original bug with restoring game saves. --- quote --- Sorry I missed that. Maybe that bug should be split into two bugs because the IDirect3D3 issue is actually blocking the first one. The backtrace from initial bug reporter indeed shows a crash in a module named "mask" =>1 0x004fb9e0 in mask (+0xfb9e0) (0x77abc790) So your finding of "KingsQuestMask" as application compatibility item indicates the game might be really broken or relying on undocumented behaviour.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2905 --- Comment #21 from Anastasius Focht <focht(a)gmx.net> 2012-05-03 17:02:59 CDT --- Hello, --- quote --- C:\Windows\AppPatch\AcSpecfc.dll in XP and above has a function named "KingsQuestMask" that patches the game somehow, has anyone taken a look to see what it does and use that as a starting point? I have very little experience with disassembly but I think it was related to file handles. --- quote --- "Ac" is probably "application compatibility". Windows has so called "application shims" that allow gazillion of broken/bad behaving apps to run on newer Windows versions. At runtime application signatures are matched in a database and application specific shims (dlls) are loaded that hook APIs and redirect it to alternate implementation. These implementations carry specific workarounds/hacks. And no, reverse engineering of Windows dlls is not acceptable, it's standard Wine policy. Wine has a black box/clean room engineering approach. The presence of this "KingsQuestMask" shim might indicate that this game is somehow broken and/or relies on old or undocumented API behaviour which requires a specific workaround in newer Windows versions. I'm not sure but did you read my comment #19 ? I already did an analysis some time ago and gave a possible hint.

[Bug 30582] New: SW Knights of the old Republic: Securom kicks in, recognizes Wine as Emulator

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30582 Bug #: 30582 Summary: SW Knights of the old Republic: Securom kicks in, recognizes Wine as Emulator Product: Wine Version: 1.5.0 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: debian(a)carbon-project.org Classification: Unclassified SW KotOR – patched to 1.03 – fails to start with a SecuROM error ("Conflict with Disc Emulator Software detected. See www.securom.com/emulation for more details"). This seems to be a known problem on SecuROMs end ([0]), as they provide people who complain about this with a link to [1], when the instructions of [0] failed/you provided them with a diagnosis. Hence I'm not entirely sure, whether this is Wine's fault or a overzealous SecuROM. Anyway, if you need something else, please let me know.
