The exact error was "wrong medium type." (EA was actually nice enough to report the errors in plain text, into an error log in the program directory, not that their documentation mentions it.) Apparently, the disk access drivers of Wine are not properly forwarding the check media type routine to the drive. This is used by EA DiskCheck to see if the disk in the drive is a CD-R, and not the original disk. EA has also reported that some drives and/or controllers do not properly respond to these commands. This includes The Sims 3, but The Sims 3 may be working now, as I haven't checked recently. However, there is a legal way around using SafeDisc on most EA games. If you register them on Origin you can download the EA Origin DRM version (a variant of SecureROM). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
