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-… sha256: 7bc013918cf79879a086a10c27306f2f3511852726f4b4a9fec09668ed221d18 -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 53767] New: vbscript fails to handle ReDim when variable is not yet created
by WineHQ Bugzilla Oct. 3, 2025

Oct. 3, 2025

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53767 Bug ID: 53767 Summary: vbscript fails to handle ReDim when variable is not yet created Product: Wine Version: 7.16 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: vbscript Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: jsm174(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- While working on leveraging the vbscript engine of Wine for a macos/linux port of Visual Pinball, I finally have the example table working and am starting to work through the runtime errors. Since the table scripts are often copies of copies of copied code, sometimes bad practices make their way in. Take the following code: Const tnob = 5 ' total number of balls ReDim rolling(tnob) This works in real vbscript, but fails here. As a work around, I've updated the script to: Const tnob = 5 ' total number of balls Dim rolling() ReDim rolling(tnob) According to the rules I've found: It's possible to create a new dynamic array within a procedure using the ReDim statement if the array to which it refers doesn't already exist at either module or level. Typically, this results from an error of omission; the programmer forgets to explicitly define the array using Dim, Public, or Private. Since this method of creating an array can cause conflicts if a variable or array of the same name is subsequently defined explicitly, ReDim should be used only to redimension an existing array, not to define a new one. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 32572] New: Alpha Polaris doesn't play well with built-in d3dx9 libraries
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Oct. 3, 2025

Oct. 3, 2025

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32572 Bug #: 32572 Summary: Alpha Polaris doesn't play well with built-in d3dx9 libraries Product: Wine Version: 1.5.20 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.gamershell.com/download_75822.shtml OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3dx9 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69(a)gmail.com CC: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 42985 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42985 terminal output The game comes with native d3dx9_34.dll installed in the game directory, the reported problems happen only when you set it to built-in. wine-1.5.20-57-gdabde6a or newer is needed to test this bug (a follow-up to bug #27627). The game starts and loads to the menu fine with the built-in d3dx9_34 but you will face several issues throughout the game. Install the demo then start it with AlphaPolaris.exe. Click <OK> in the launcher and get in the game. Start a new game from the menu, skip the intro video. Here are some issues I noticed with built-in d3dx: - anytime you press a key (either in the menu or in mid-game) a black bar appears in the upper left corner. An error message from the game engine (Wintermute) is hiding behind those black bars, as I've seen those in the game from bug #29495. "Script runtime error. View log for details". - the game begins with a conversation but dialogues/subtitles are displayed so fast that you can hardly read them. Probably due to this, most of the audio (speech) is missing from the game. - when the opening conversation ends you should see the main character standing in front of his bed. With built-in d3dx the character is missing (invisible). - the game tends to crash on exit as can be seen in the attached log file. All those issues are non-existent when d3dx9_34=native. Saved games that were created with built-in d3dx9_34 are also affected. If you load a saved game created with built-in, those issues are present, even if the game was started with native. -- 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 57877] New: CMD: Parsing issue: Mismatch in parentheses provoked by trailing tab
by WineHQ Bugzilla Oct. 3, 2025

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57877 Bug ID: 57877 Summary: CMD: Parsing issue: Mismatch in parentheses provoked by trailing tab Product: Wine Version: 10.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: cmd Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: Dominik-Home(a)gmx.de Distribution: --- Wine has issues in parsing if-statements like the following: if not [%FOO:~-1%] == [True] ( <----- NOTE THE TRAILING TAB HERE echo ENTERED IF-EXPRESSION ) On Windows those kind of expressions execute as expected but on Wine it errors with a note 'Mismatch in parentheses.'. While playing around with this construct I realised that the trailing tab may cause this issue. As soon as I remove it, the code seems to work. See also the attached reproducers. For reference this, is the last issue to get the PlanAhead (part of Xilinx ISE) batch scripts to work. They are responsible for configuring the environment and starting the GUI. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 57547] New: All HIDRAW devices stop working after pressing extra button on Logitech G903 mouse
by WineHQ Bugzilla Oct. 3, 2025

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57547 Bug ID: 57547 Summary: All HIDRAW devices stop working after pressing extra button on Logitech G903 mouse Product: Wine Version: 10.0-rc2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: hid Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: dixonte+winehq(a)stc-networks.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 77615 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=77615 WINEDEBUG=+hid,+plugplay,+dinput,+rawinput WINEPREIF=$HOME/Games/star-citizen /usr/lib/wine-staging-10.0_rc2/bin/wine control I have my G903 configured such that pressing one of the extra buttons emulates pressing F14 on a keyboard. I have also built a foot pedal using a microcontroller that does the same thing. I use this for push-to-talk in Discord. When I press the extra button on my mouse, this seems to cause an error in wine that stops all HIDRAW devices from working until I restart wineserver. Oddly and importantly, the foot pedal does not cause the same issue. (I'm vaguely aware this mouse is what Logitech calls 'HID++', so I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing something weird that is tripping wine up.) I've attached a log of reproducing the issue by running 'wine control' with WINEDEBUG=+hid,+plugplay,+dinput,+rawinput Now that I know how to do it I can reproduce the issue 100% of the time. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

The application also fails in manual mode at the same spot, but it doesn't crash; instead it hangs with 100% CPU usage. The console output with stack trace from the crash in automatic mode is attached. The application can be downloaded at http://anthemav.com/downloads/ARC-2%20Setup.zip, but you must have an Anthem A/V receiver in order to get this far in it. I am happy to carry out suggested testing/debugging. 74dc2107ca936dddbd0fc6abbb2baf74e387c163 ARC-2 Setup.zip -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
