http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59472 Bug ID: 59472 Summary: FreeArc hangs on startup in new wow64 mode Product: Wine Version: 11.3 Hardware: x86-64 URL: https://archive.org/details/FreeArc-0.666-win32bin-Sou rces OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, testcase, wow64 Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: arethusa26(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 80459 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=80459 Largest memory block loop test case executable When running the FreeArc archiver tool on the command line to add a file to an archive with a new wow64 build of Wine, the tool hangs indefinitely with only a banner output string: $ wine freearc/bin/Arc.exe a test.arc empty_file 0124:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION FreeArc 0.666 With a old wow64 build of Wine, the tool runs and completes successfully: $ wine freearc/bin/Arc.exe a test.arc empty_file 0024:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION FreeArc 0.666 0024:err:virtual:map_view anon mmap error Cannot allocate memory, size 0x80010000, unix_prot 0 0024:err:virtual:allocate_virtual_memory out of memory for allocation, base (nil) size 80000000 0024:err:virtual:map_view anon mmap error Cannot allocate memory, size 0x78010000, unix_prot 0 0024:err:virtual:allocate_virtual_memory out of memory for allocation, base (nil) size 78000000 ... creating archive: test.arc Compressing 1 file, 1,024 bytes.

Compressed 1 file, 1,024 => 44 bytes. Ratio 4.2% Compression time: cpu 0.62 secs, real 0.31 secs. Speed 3 kB/s All OK To reproduce the issue with FreeArc, download "FreeArc-portable-0.666-win32.zip" from the URL link and extract the contents of the ZIP file to a directory named "freearc". The Arc.exe binary can be run with the provided command line. When FreeArc is run with new wow64 Wine, there appears to be a thread that is stuck repeatedly calling VirtualAlloc with 0 size: 0124:trace:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory 0xffffffffffffffff (nil) 00000000 2000 00000004 0124:trace:virtual:NtFreeVirtualMemory 0xffffffffffffffff (nil) 00000000 8000 0124:trace:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory 0xffffffffffffffff (nil) 00000000 2000 00000004 0124:trace:virtual:NtFreeVirtualMemory 0xffffffffffffffff (nil) 00000000 8000 The code involved in the hang appears to be the LargestMemoryBlock::LargestMemoryBlock() constructor in Environment.cpp from the FreeArc sources. It's a (buggy) loop that attempts a binary search for the largest size it can successfully pass to VirtualAlloc. I have extracted the logic to create a standalone test case, which is built with: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -O2 -Wall -Wl,--large-address-aware -o largest_memory_block.exe largest_memory_block.c On Windows 10, the largest_memory_block.exe test case shows the following output: a = 0 b = ffffffff Freeing pointer 00000000 with VirtualFree Allocating 7fffffff bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 00000000 VirtualAlloc failed, updating b to 7fffffff a = 0 b = 7fffffff Freeing pointer 00000000 with VirtualFree Allocating 3fffffff bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 01970000 VirtualAlloc succeeded, updating a to 3fffffff ... a = 7f98ffff b = 7f990001 Freeing pointer 00000000 with VirtualFree Allocating 7f990000 bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 7fff0000 VirtualAlloc succeeded, updating a to 7f990000 On new wow64 Wine, the test case shows the following output: a = 0 b = ffffffff Freeing pointer 00000000 with VirtualFree Allocating 7fffffff bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 7fff0000 VirtualAlloc succeeded, updating a to 7fffffff a = 7fffffff b = ffffffff Freeing pointer 7fff0000 with VirtualFree Allocating 3fffffff bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 00900000 VirtualAlloc succeeded, updating a to 3fffffff ... a = 1 b = ffffffff Freeing pointer 003f0000 with VirtualFree Allocating 0 bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 00000000 VirtualAlloc failed, updating b to 0 a = 1 b = 0 Freeing pointer 00000000 with VirtualFree Allocating 0 bytes with VirtualAlloc VirtualAlloc returned 00000000 VirtualAlloc failed, updating b to 0 ... The midpoint computation "c = (a + b) / 2" in the loop overflows when the initial allocation succeeds on Wine and leads to incorrect execution, whereas the initial allocation doesn't appear to succeed on Windows. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 59289] New: GOG-Game "Asterix and Obelix XXXL: The Ram From Hibernia" crashes on start

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59289 Bug ID: 59289 Summary: GOG-Game "Asterix and Obelix XXXL: The Ram From Hibernia" crashes on start Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: jmb_tux(a)gmx.net Distribution: --- Created attachment 80222 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=80222 Screen Dump from Crash Report by AOA.exe I am now using WineHQ Repos - both stable and devel, but currently these are the same. Why is there no 11.0 as devel-version to select? Especially as both, stable and devel, are 11.0 ? But in this case, versions are quite unimportant, as it is the same on 10.0 or 9.0 ... The former 3 "Asterix&Obelix XXL" titles work without problem (Wine 9 like Wine 10), but now the new title no longer used their own engine, but OSome Studio / Microids use with the latest Release on 27.10.2022 Epic's Unreal Engine 5, but it looks this is severely broken. As I am not using Windows, I can not say that it works / don't work on Windows. Unfotunately, GOG is not willing give the slightest support when using Wine. Thus instead of getting info - I can only ask for Refund. Then after some time buy it again, test it, and ask for refund if its is still broken ... When starting it with Wine via "wine AOA.exe" (in 'GOG\ Games' binary path, I directly hear a sound and when it ends, the crash message appears: ~~~ "The UE4-AOA [File:Unknown] [Line: 339]" Direct3DDevice->CreateTexture2D(TextureDesc,SubResourceData,OutTexture2D) failed at D:/P41660/UE427Custom/Engine/Source/Runtime/Windows/D3D11RHI/Private/D3D11Texture.cpp:534 with error E-INVALIDARG, Size)1920x1080x1 PF=67 Format=(9x99999967), NumMips=1, Flags=D2D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE, Usage:0x0, CPUFlags: 0x0, MiscFlags:0x0, SampleCount:0x1, SampleQuality:0x0, SubresPtr:0x0000000000000000m SubpresPitch:0,SupresSlicePitch:0 [OK] ~~~ (I hope I have no typo - but I have added a screen dump as attatchment.) The same error message shows on an o AMD system Zen 4: Ryzen 9 7900 & RDNA 3: Radeon RX 7800 XT as well as in an o Intel Skylake with Nvidi graphics. So it is not HW relevant ... but while gamers report about many bugs, I have not read about direct crashes on start as happening under Wine. It is the 1st game using 4 Players in locCoop for that series ... and it would be a pity, if this can not be played under Wine at all ... If I am able to reach for Devs/Publisher, I will hint them to this bug report ... and will add any information I might get - especially about changes following WineHQ-Devel. Maybe Wine Devs could hint to the current problem. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
