[Bug 58156] New: Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II Demo: won't launch, "smackw32.DLL" failed to initialize
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58156 Bug ID: 58156 Summary: Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II Demo: won't launch, "smackw32.DLL" failed to initialize Product: Wine Version: 10.6 Hardware: x86-64 OS: MacOS Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: cemer99797(a)isorax.com Created attachment 78437 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=78437 Wine-devel 10.6 log for "wine jkdemo.exe -windowgui" the Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II Demo: won't launch, it says "smackw32.DLL" failed to initialize. This is a Windows 95 game demo I tried setting the Windows Version to Windows 10, Windows 95, and Windows 98 in winecfg. I also tried launching the demo with and without the windowgui flag: `wine jkdemo.exe -windowgui` as mentioned in AppDB HowTo section. This is a regression because a lot of users report this game demo as Gold in AppDB, including on macOS (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10948) The jedi.exe file is a launcher GUI which works fine, but when clicking "Play Jedi Knight Demo" it fails with the error: `file` command info for: jkdemo.exe PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows Unable to start the Jedi Knight Demo game program. Try running JK.EXE where you installed the Demo directly. Also make sure you have the latest DirectX drivers installed on your system. The macOS terminal shows this error as one of the last things in the log: "err:module:loader_init "smackw32.DLL" failed to initialize, aborting" (the module is normally unzipped next to the jkdemo.exe executable) tested with Gcenx's Wine-devel 10.6 (https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases/tag/10.6) on macOS 11 and Wine-devel 9.21 (https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases/tag/9.21) and Gcenx's Wine CrossOverFOSS 23.7.1-1 based on Wine 8.0.1 (https://github.com/Gcenx/winecx/releases/tag/crossover-wine-23.7.1-1) download page (choose Download this File > Agree > Jedi Knight Demo.zip): https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1308-jedi-knight-dark-forces-i... sha256: 7bc013918cf79879a086a10c27306f2f3511852726f4b4a9fec09668ed221d18 -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58156 --- Comment #6 from ToastyBug <cemer99797(a)isorax.com> --- Someone in the AppDB entry for this game demo mentioned this in the HowTo / Notes section (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10948):
To stop regressions in this game, a few test cases need to be written
1. reproduce the ddraw codepath used in the cutscenes at the beginning of the game 2. reproduce the ddraw codepath used for the menu system where blitting is done to update parts of the screen, they are redrawn incorrectly, so a test comparing the expected colour value against the updated value is needed 3. probably the hardest, would be a testcase that uses the same 3d acceleration as enabled by the configuration options
Also the issue with smackw32.DLL is most likely related to the intro video playing in the Smacker video format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smacker_video) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

So this might be something specific to MacOS. (In reply to ToastyBug from comment #5)

As far as I understand this PROCESS_ATTACH means the DllMain function from the dll gets executed. In my attempts I receive a "RETURN 1", in the failing ones "RETURN 0". To get some insight what happens in this call to DllMain one could execute with +relay like this: WINEDEBUG=+module,+relay \ wine JKDEMO.EXE -windowgui \ >> $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/relay2.log 2>&1 This creates kind of huge files, please put the lines between "PROCESS_ATTACH...CALL" and "PROCESS_ATTACH...RETURN 0" into a file and attach it here.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58156 --- Comment #10 from ToastyBug <cemer99797(a)isorax.com> --- As of Wine-devel 10.14, this game is now playabale again but only with workaround and caveats. To play it, you have to launch the JEDI.EXE launcher app (not the JKDEMO.EXE game app) and click "Play Jedi Knight Demo"... After clicking "Play Jedi Knight Demo": 1. the game app will be launched to an all-black fullscreen and tries to change the screen resolution 2. the game app will minimize itself to the macOS Dock after 1 to 3 seconds 3. the same error pop-up as in my first post will show up:
Unable to start the Jedi Knight Demo game program. Try running JK.EXE where you installed the Demo directly. Also make sure you have the latest DirectX drivers installed on your system.
Clicking the minimized game app from the macOS Dock (grayscale Jedi icon) will return the game app to fullscreen, with an all-black fullscreen and the intro video music playing in the background. Pressing Esc will skip the all-black intro video and correctly load the main menu and the game is playable! Press the equals key to increase the game viewport to fill the screen. ### NOTES: 1. if you choose "Cutscenes" from the main menu and press OK to play the Splash movie (intro movie), it will now play correctly 2. if you switch out of (Cmd-Tab) and return to the game from: * the all-black intro video (before pressing Esc to skip): the game correclty returns to the all-black intro video * the main menu: the main menu will now be all black, but the sounds still play when clicking your mouse and pressing Esc * the correctly-playing intro video from the Cutscenes menu: the game returns to an all-black intro video, but if you skip it (Esc), the main menu will display correctly * gameplay: the game viewport will be all the way off-screen to the top of the screen, meaning only the bottom 20% of the game can be seen (press the equals key to increase the in-game viewport). If you press Esc the pause menu still appears correctly * the pause menu, activated for the first time from gameplay: the game returns to an all-black pause menu, and pressing Esc returns the game viewport being off-screen to the top as before * the pause menu, activated for a second time from gameplay: the pause menu correctly reappears, but after returning to gameplay, the game viewport is still off to the top of the screen 3. if you close all macOS Terminal windows (which normally exits all wine processes), the game app will still be running, but the error pop-up will be killed. The game can be exited by force-quitting the wine processes in macOS Activity Monitor or Force Quit dialog I also bisected this with Wine-devel 10.12 and 10.13, and they both give the same error as in my first post, so this was fixed in Wine-devel 10.14:
"smackw32.DLL" failed to initialize, aborting
