[Bug 18101] New: when trying to start a new game, a file called "default.tot" starts to grow in size arbitrarily
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18101 Summary: when trying to start a new game, a file called "default.tot" starts to grow in size arbitrarily Product: Wine Version: 1.1.18 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: simulcra(a)uchicago.edu CC: simulcra(a)uchicago.edu "default.tot" is a generally problematic file in various infinite engine games (there are various bugs out there, generally related to character creation). For example, for baldur's gate 2, sometimes you can have a problem trying to save a game because of a presence of a 0-byte file called "default.tot" in the tempsave/ directory. Deleting it will allow a save, though the game will create a new 0-byte default.tot file almost immediately (a more permanent hack to fix this is to mkdir tempsave/default.tot). Icewind Dale 2 has a problem with default.tot in which in previous versions of wine, tryign to create a party with more than 1 character at the start will result in a crash, related to a defaul.tot issue (in some versions of wine, an actual error message would pop up). Starting with 1.1.18, the issue has become drastically more severe. *Any* attempt at creating a new party will result in the game creating a default.tot file, and instead of leaving it at 0-bytes, it will begin to grow it arbitrarily while the game is stuck at the loading screen. I've seen it go up to 500 megabytes in size before finally doing a wineserver -k to quite the Icewind Dale 2 process. Doing the Baldur's Gate 2 hack (creating an empty default.tot/ directory to block the reation of the file) lets the game get past its original lock point, but then will lock up anew after the loading screen finishes. I'm currently running some regression tests to see when this bug got introduced, so stand by. -- 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.

The issue doesn't happen when you choose a pre-built party. The default.tot file is always 0 bytes size for me. The workaround found on the AppDb page of the game still works: you have to create an empty directory named default.tot, inside the /temp and /tempsave directories. I attached a trimmed +relay,+seh,+tid log (only the last 15k lines) because the whole log would be 500 MB uncompressed. -- 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.

The game becomes unresponsive and Wine prints err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x75693340 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0046, blocked by 003a, retrying (60 sec) I made a strange discovery: I can't reproduce the bug if I install and run the game on my external USB hdd. First I thought it has something to do with the mount options. Here's how the partition is mounted where the game crashes: rw,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered The mount options on the external hdd (where the game is working): rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks Both partitions are formatted as EXT4. I remounted the partition where the game crashes with nosuid,nodev but that didn't help. But what could be the problem then? All testing was done in a clean wineprefix and with a complete game reinstall. A possible workaround for the party creation bug in IWD2: After you created all the characters you want, do not start the game right away. Instead go back to the main menu, start a new game and import your newly created characters one by one into the party. The game won't crash in this way. -- 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.

Could be a timing issue. You could try reducing the number of cores with taskset -c 1 wine ... or the like and see if that makes any difference.
That didn't help either. With 'taskset -c 0' the game hangs at the same point as before, the only difference is that this message isn't showing up in the terminal: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x68ebe340 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" .... -- 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.

Just as in my previous test, the problem doesn't occur when I install the game on an external usb disk. Out of curiosity (and mainly because both Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate use the same Infinity game engine), I tried the patches in bug #17956 (attachment #40936 and attachment #40937). Guess what? The patches do fix the problem when creating a new party in IWD 2. -- 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.
