http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30632 Bug #: 30632 Summary: Sims 3 fails to validate disc Product: Wine Version: 1.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hendrik.knackstedt(a)t-online.de Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 40104 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=40104 Logs created by PlayOnLinux When trying to start The Sims 3, I can start the launcher and see the games intro video followed by the loading screen. After that I get an ingame message that "Disc authorization failed. It could not be checked whether the disc is a valid The Sims 3 disc or not. Please contact customer support." and the game exits. The disc seems to be recognized at /dev/sr0 (according to winecfg) which also shows a serial for the CD. It's automatically assigned letter "D:" and set as "Network share" (cannot change this). The mounting point "/media/Sims3" seems to be correct. The games checks for the CD two times: The first check right after starting the game from launcher is passed successfully if the CD is in the CD drive. The second fails every time I try to start the game. I'm attaching two debug logs created by playonlinux which I used to install the game. I also installed vcrun6, vcrun2010, vcrun2005, d3dx9, dotnet20sp2 and mono210 (because there was an error message in the logs that said to install mono) using playonlinux. I also installed the official EA patches and brought the game to the latest version. Further I adjusted settings as described in the appdb: GLSL disabled, Offscreen Rendering: fbo, Direct Draw: opengl. I don't see any graphic problems so far. This all happens on up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Could there maybe be a permissions problem? Please let me know if you need any further information. -- 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.
