[Bug 30902] New: Arcania: Gothic 4 fails to start (hangs on startup)
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Dec. 6, 2013

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30902 Bug #: 30902 Summary: Arcania: Gothic 4 fails to start (hangs on startup) Product: Wine Version: 1.5.6 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.gamershell.com/download_63874.shtml OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69(a)gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 40514 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=40514 plain terminal output Both the demo version and the full version of the game hang after starting, without displaying anything. The Arcania.exe process is just sitting there, seems to idling (1-3% CPU usage). Terminal output doesn't reveal much about what's going on. There are messages from the game engine, always ending with the line 'Baked PC'. It doesn't matter if I let the installer install the required components (DirectX, Physx, VC++), or I install them via winetricks (with latest Wine version the game needs Physx and Xact audio libraries). I also tried the followings to no avail: - different Wine profiles (XP/Vista/Seven) - newer version of Physx, downloaded from Nvidia - forcing the game to run only on 1 core (taskset -c 0) - installing Windows Media Player 10 (videos, including intros are stored in wmv format) Some of the testers in AppDB agree that the problem must be due to the copy-protection used by the game (Securom). I'm not sure about that. I tested with the Gamersgate version of the game. - the original version (without patches) contains Securom 8.1.8 (release date check + hardware based DRM). Activating Gothic 4 with this particular Securom version worked under Wine 1.5.6, but the game hung afterwards. - the first patch for the game changes DRM to the less restrictive Securom 7.42.xx. Applying this patch didn't change the behaviour, the game hangs after starting. - the latest official patch for the game removes Securom (actually it is still there, but they made it inert). The same problem exists with this patch as well. - I also have the standalone expansion for Gothic 4 (ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif), which is completely DRM free. It behaves in the same way as the original game with Securom. The problem can be reproduced with the demo version as well (~1.7 GB download size). The demo indeed contains Securom. The attached log file was created by starting the expansion, just because it is DRM free. Although terminal output always ends with the 'Baked PC' message, using +loaddll revealed that Physx dlls were loaded afterwards.

[Bug 27926] New: "#msgctxt#directory#Desktop" used as name for the desktop folder
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Dec. 3, 2013

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27926 Summary: "#msgctxt#directory#Desktop" used as name for the desktop folder Product: Wine Version: 1.3.25 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shell32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: ralfjung-e(a)gmx.de Created an attachment (id=35726) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=35726) Temporary fix for the issue Wine is using "#msgctxt#directory#Desktop" as name for the Desktop folder on my system, resulting in folders with that name being created in the "public" and my own user profile. I attached a patch which temporarily fixes the issue for me. However, I suspect this is related to the problem that I am compiling wine myself on a 64bit Debian testing, where 32bit gettext libraries are not currently available, so wine runs without gettext. Since this is an optional dependency, things should still work properly though. -- 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.

[Bug 26536] New: strftime using wrong locale
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Dec. 2, 2013

Dec. 2, 2013

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26536 Summary: strftime using wrong locale Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero(a)arcor.de strftime is using the wrong locale in two applications for me (could not find any others using this function): In the game "Uru" by Cyan, and in the "Vault Manager" Cyan published years ago to manage your own Uru servers. In both cases, when I start the applications on a German Windows system, they use the English locale for strftime, so I get times like "10:23 AM" (I Know it's definitely strftime for Uru since that string is created by the Python part of the game, and the line in the source code says timestr = time.strftime('%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p', currenttime)). If however I start these applications on my German Kubuntu, the "AM" just vanishes, so I can not even tell whether this is 10:23 or 22:23. In addition, the "Vault Manager" also displays abbreviations of month names, and in case of "Mär" (for März = March), it has trouble with the special character: It says "MÃ¤r". In both cases, starting wine with LC_ALL=C fixes the issues. -- 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.

[Bug 24463] New: Ligatures in certain fonts mess up centered text, look out of place
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Dec. 2, 2013

Dec. 2, 2013

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24463 Summary: Ligatures in certain fonts mess up centered text, look out of place Product: Wine Version: 1.3.3 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: gibmirspam(a)gmail.com Created an attachment (id=30865) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=30865) Screenshot with an example of the bug I've noticed this bug in Foobar2000 with the font Tahoma, but it possibly affects other applications as well. I'm using a plugin that displays song lyrics. Now, for certain combinations of characters (such as "fl" or "fi"), the program uses ligatures instead of the individual characters. In every line with a ligature, the text is aligned to the left instead of the middle. Furthermore, the ligature characters seem to be from a different font set and therefore look out of place. Other fonts such as Verdana don't use ligatures and look fine. See screenshot for example. -- 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.

[Bug 22349] New: Altera's Quartus II SOPC Builder GUI is upside down

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22349 Summary: Altera's Quartus II SOPC Builder GUI is upside down Product: Wine Version: 1.1.42 Platform: x86-64 URL: https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/alter a_design/quartus_we/dnl-quartus_we.jsp OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: andreryan908(a)gmail.com Created an attachment (id=27349) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=27349) 7zip compressed MPEG video showing problem The GUI renders properly when the program is first painted but as soon as you interact with anything, the updates are drawn relative to the bottom (as though someone mixed up Y coordinate and did Height - Y instead of plain Y). This results in a button at the bottom of a window that when pressed and held, the pressed graphic is drawn just below the title bar instead of where the button actually is.

[Bug 31237] New: libfaketime: integrate with libfaketime to allow running a program with a fake time
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Dec. 2, 2013

Dec. 2, 2013

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31237 Bug #: 31237 Summary: libfaketime: integrate with libfaketime to allow running a program with a fake time Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: alister.hood(a)gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Like Wine, faketime is another lib/application that is useful for running legacy programs, for example those which can no longer run because of the "millenium bug". It lets you present a fake system time to a program. It would be nice if the functionality of libfaketime could be integrated with Wine. The faketime executable and Wine do not cooperate well. Some programs such as winecfg and notepad work well, but when you try to run other programs (e.g. Excel 2007 which was one I tried) they crash, and then any subsequent programs you try to run also crash, even programs which worked fine before running Excel or whatever the problem program was: # faketime '2006-09-20' winecfg wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address (nil) (thread 001d), starting debugger... Some Wine programs do actually run fine apart from outputting this error, but others crash properly. I reported this to the faketime developer, and this was his reply: > Basically, libfaketime has clear limitations when it comes to programs > that spawn child processes due to the LD_PRELOAD design. Wine probably > starts a lot of sub-programs, and since only the parent process is tricked > into seeing the faked time, but the spawned child processes get access to > the real wall clock time, this inconsistency might lead to this page fault > crash. > > As of today, we have undertaken several steps to make libfaketime capable > of supporting spawned child processes (at least on Linux), but we're not > quite there yet. Some problems we ran into so far are still K.O. criteria, > so I can't promise any delivery date right now. > > However, libfaketime can be integrated into other programs quite easily, > so if the Wine developers would use it in their Wine source, faking the > time for any Wine-executed program would be quite trivial and without all > those sub-process hassles. However, I don't know whether the Wine guys > would be interested in such an option So, are "the Wine guys" interesting in integrating libfaketime with Wine?
