[Bug 11995] New: Wipeout XL hangs at startup

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11995 Summary: Wipeout XL hangs at startup Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other URL: http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/wipeoutxl/wipeout xl.zip.html OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winmm&mci AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com In http://jmikeneedham.dyndns.org/?p=10, a user complained that Psygnosis Wipeout XL hangs on startup. I confirmed this with the downloadable demo, http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/wipeoutxl/wipeoutxl.zip.html Name wipeoutxl.zip Size 6153701 sha1sum 5e420f8e79ac63e1e3bb76692dbfb0ae1caf1161 Looking at the log, it seems to be looping endlessly looking for an audio CD to be inserted. This was common practice back in the day; gamers would always throw an audio CD-ROM in the drive so they could listen to music while they played. Games often came on hybrid audio/data cds. When you insert a hybrid audio/data cd, though, you have to tell the system to mount the data portion, else wine won't give it a drive letter. So, if you jump through those hoops (e.g. insert a cd-rom and tell the system to mount it), the game will continue to the next problem: you can tell the game to start, and the welcome screen then goes away, but no game window comes up. The log shows: fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x34f820,0x00000000), stub! fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8 err:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Resolution change not successful -- perhaps display has changed? So I guess the next step is to try this on an 8 bit display. -- 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 25386] New: Poker Night: random long delays between turns and conversations
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Oct. 18, 2025

Oct. 18, 2025

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25386 Summary: Poker Night: random long delays between turns and conversations Product: Wine Version: 1.3.5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: VincentBeers(a)gmail.com Game is from TellTale Games by the name of Poker Night at the Inventory. Basically, the problem I have is that sometimes, between turns, the game will have long delays in which nothing seems to happen (ie the application hangs). It takes much, much longer than usual to load or interpret a resource than it should take (or so I assume). A bigger problem is that these delays are much longer when starting up the game or any significant screen changes. It can take more than a minute longer to load the game or any specific areas than it would in Windows. The terminal isn't spewing out anything during these loading periods, so attached is all terminal output generated by the app, even outside of these hanging bits. Steam output may be mixed in too. Notes: Unfortunately, this game is not available for free, however, it is available for fairly cheap (5 euros) for those willing to try. I think some other TellTale games (and free demos) have the same issue however (they all run on the same engine, though all of them have some minor differences, improvements, etc.). Using the Steam version, but I'm sure the non-Steam version has the same issue (though I couldn't test as Wine 1.3.7 wouldn't load the game for me). The game works in 1.3.8, though with loading problems. Another note is that I am playing the game on a FAT32 partition. This may affect performance, but I do not expect it to take this much longer, thus it would still be a bug. -- 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 16214] New: Copy command does not work as expected

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16214 Summary: Copy command does not work as expected Product: Wine Version: 1.0.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: dos AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: scott(a)open-vote.org >From Launchpad: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/272921 In Windows, the COPY command run in a command prompt allows users to concatenate files by using a plus ("+") operator, for example: copy file1+file2 outfile In wine's cmd.exe, it seems to read file1+file2 as a single path and therefore outputs a "Path Not Found". Also, it does not recognize the "con" keyword used to represent stdout/stdin. Therefore another method of concatenating files: copy file1 outfile copy file2 con >> outfile does not work either. My Ubuntu version is 8.04, AMD64 architecture, though I have seen the same issue on the x86 version as well. -- 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 21227] New: cmd doesn't echo redirection like native

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21227 Summary: cmd doesn't echo redirection like native Product: Wine Version: 1.1.35 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source, testcase Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com Native cmd echoes commands after some canonicalization has been done on their redirects. A batch file containing dir 1> ok dir > bad dir | bad dir > blah > bad echoes as dir 1> ok dir 1> bad dir | bad dir 1> bad (note the extra space inserted before the > or |). Wine's cmd doesn't currently do this, but it could probably do so without too much trouble; it already collects redirects separately for each command. For the moment I'll probably put a kludge in the cmd conformance test runner to compensate. -- 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 16149] New: Star Wars Rebellion: tactical battle mode crashes game
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Oct. 17, 2025

Oct. 17, 2025

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16149 Summary: Star Wars Rebellion: tactical battle mode crashes game Product: Wine Version: 1.1.8 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: appleshampooid(a)netscape.net Created an attachment (id=17394) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=17394) console output Star Wars: Rebellion will crash when you try to enter tactical battle mode (when two fleets meet over a planet). The fastest way to reproduce the bug is to start a new game as the Rebellion and move your closest fleet to Coruscant, then bump the game speed up to Fast and you'll get a battle alert within a minute. Once you take control of the battle, you can issue orders while still paused, although the starfield is blank and doesn't show any of the ships. As soon as you unpause the battle or click in the starfield, the game will crash. NOTE: I'm using the native DLLs for d3drm.dll and d3dxof.dll. The problem with d3drm.dll is described in bug 8232, but it doesn't look like it's getting fixed any time soon. From the console output, I'm pretty sure this bug would still cause the game to crash even if the wine DLLs for those libraries worked (the errors seem to be coming from other wine DLLs, not the native ones). Other than those DLLs, I'm running it with a fresh .wine directory on 1.1.8. Console output is attached, please let me know if you'd like me to enable any other debug flags. Note that the error which is listed the first few times in the file is pumped out constantly for the duration of the game, so I'm not sure if its relevant. I've snipped off the top of the logfile until right before you enter battle mode and it crashes. Unfortunately I don't believe the game is available for free download. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.

[Bug 19153] New: DX3 game does not recognize graphics capabilities

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19153 Summary: DX3 game does not recognize graphics capabilities Product: Wine Version: 1.1.24 Platform: PC URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=versi on&iId=9396 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: bobbyg(a)gmx.net Resident Evil 1 does not start giving the error "Failed to initialize the Graphics Hardware Device.(3)". It's a DirectX 3 game using immediate mode. After some debugging I found that it relies on 3 (three) entries returned by EnumDevices whereas wine returns only the Direct3D HAL entry in this case (d3dversion == 1). Removing the if-clause in ddraw/direct3d.c and duplicating the HAL entry solves the problem and the game actually runs almost perfectly (Garbage -> Platinum). I checked a Windows installation which returns "HAL", "RGB Emulation" and "Ramp Emulation" but the comments in the file suggest that not all games are happy about that. So how to fix this properly? -- 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.
