[Bug 18325] New: Timed events bug in Call of Cthulhu
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18325 Summary: Timed events bug in Call of Cthulhu Product: Wine Version: 1.1.20 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: monolitonegro(a)gmail.com There's a bug in the game Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Earth that make some timed events executate too early in the game, making the game near unplayable, or downright unplayable. The earliest noticiable example is the beginning of the Chapter 2:"Attack of the fishmen". At the beginning of this chapter, the player must avoid an angry mob of citizens running from room to room before the enemies manage to break in the bolted doors. While in the Windows XP the game allows plenty of time for the player to think and act, the linux with wine allows barely enough, making the game nearly unplayable. Another point where this bug is noticeable is at the chapter 5, Marsh Refinery. At midway chapter, the player must outrun a shoggot while closing doors behind him. While this is perfectly possible in the Windows XP, it is absolutely impossible in the linux. Tested with: wine version 1.1.20 binaries from official repository under GNU/Linux Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and Windows XP SP2. Aplication: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Earth version 1.0 Command line: wine "C:\Arquivos de programas\Bethesda Softworks\ Call of Cthulhu DCoTE\Engine\CoCMainWin32.exe" How to reproduce: In a dual boot machine with both Windows XP SP2 and GNU/Linux Hardy 8.04, install the game twice, one time in each OS. Play the game up to the beginning of the chapter 2 in the easiest dificulty(Scout Boy). At the beginning of chapter 2, take a wristwatch, measure the time it takes for the enemies to break in in each of the four rooms. Compare the results from both OS. If that's not enough, play up until midway chapter 5(if you can), compare the time it takes for the shoggot to outrun the player in both OS. This video shows what the player is supposed to do in chapter 5. The event begins at 7:10 onwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBFR1_qnrog -- 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.

Maybe it was fixed in some of the resent versions of Wine? -- 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.
