by Christian Gmeiner Oct. 15, 2005

Oct. 15, 2005

Hi. I have read this "tutorial" http://wiki.winehq.org/Debugging_'Wild_Metal_Country' and tought that i can maybe find the problem, why splinter cell 1 wont start. Here is the importat part (i think): 000b:Call kernel32.RaiseException(c000008f,00000001,00000002,7fbef5e4) ret=66024d53 000b:Call ntdll.RtlRaiseException(7fbef4c4) ret=7fc48163 fs=003b eax=7fc319ad ebx=7fcb088c ecx=00000000 edx=00000008 esi=7fbef5ec edi=7fbef4e0 ebp=7fbef520 esp=7fbef4c4 ds=007b es=007b gs=0033 flags=00200202 000b:trace:seh:__regs_RtlRaiseException code=c000008f flags=1 addr=0x7fc480d0 000b:trace:seh:__regs_RtlRaiseException info[0]=deadcafe 000b:trace:seh:__regs_RtlRaiseException info[1]=deadcafe 000b:trace:seh:__regs_RtlRaiseException eax=7fc319ad ebx=7fcb088c ecx=00000000 edx=00000008 esi=7fbef5ec edi=7fbef4e0 000b:trace:seh:__regs_RtlRaiseException ebp=7fbef520 esp=7fbef4c4 cs=0073 ds=007b es=007b fs=003b gs=0033 flags=00200202 000b:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x402586 code=c000008f flags=1 000b:Call kernel32.IsBadReadPtr(004012b0,00000004) ret=66024da1 000b:Ret kernel32.IsBadReadPtr() retval=00000000 ret=66024da1 000b:Call kernel32.TlsGetValue(00000003) ret=66024eda 000b:Ret kernel32.TlsGetValue() retval=7fd5af10 ret=66024eda 000b:Call ntdll.RtlUnwind(7fbef69c,661001ad,00000000,00000000) ret=661001ad fs=003b eax=00000001 ebx=7fcbbbac ecx=7fbef69c edx=00000003 esi=004012b0 edi=7fbef69c ebp=7fbeef50 esp=7fbeef44 ds=007b es=007b gs=0033 flags=00200206 The full log can be found here: http://x-factor.dyndns.org/~austriancoder/splinter_cell1.log.bz2 (1,5 M) Maybe somebody can confirm that it is a kernel32 bug and may can fix it, or give me a hint were i can fix it.

Re: [ World of Warcraft ] The 1.8 Patch brings the target ( or targeting ) problem back

It seems Warcraft relies upon NULL-addressed VirtualAlloc starting allocation from above a certain range - possibly they're pulling some silly bit-twiddling hack or optimisation. The Cedega patch linked to on the forums basically hints to mmap that it should allocate at a fixed address in this case: http://lists.transgaming.org/pipermail/winex-devel/2004-May/000259.html Which for WoW they seem to set this hint to 256mb - is there some aspect of the NT kernel we're not correctly implementing here? Does Windows always allocate from 256mb upwards? Alexandre, Mike - does hinting to mmap in the port library as TransGaming do it seem like a good solution here or would it be better to adapt the preloader to block off the lowest $X megs? thanks -mike

New themes question
by Matevz Jekovec Oct. 14, 2005

Oct. 14, 2005

Now that Wine supports different theme packs for Windows, would it be possible to render Windows widgets using the native current desktop KDE/Gnome theme? Also other stuff like font size, name and colors for Windows widgets, could they all be unified? That would *really* be something:). Big thanks to all developers, that drove Wine so far and best wishes for the future! - Matevž

Don't send patches in gz - only plain text is accepted here. ;) 2. This is not a good time for this changes (code freeze is still in affect). Find some bugs in bugzilla to fix <g> Vitaliy.

NSIS problem?
by Mike Hearn Oct. 14, 2005

Oct. 14, 2005

Hi, It seems that NSIS installers have regressed in Wine 0.9 - at least, the PE Explorer setup which looks and feels like an NSIS based installer won't install with a "The folder name is invalid" error message. I poked at this a bit but got nowhere. Can anybody confirm/deny it's a problem with all NSIS installrers? If the problem is just with PE Explorer then we can leave it, otherwise I think we should try and figure it out before 0.9 - NSIS is a very popular installer these days and not running it for 0.9 would be a disaster. thanks -mike

We at Muse Research depend on your work for our business and are greatly appreciative. Major congratulations on getting to the code freeze, by the way. Thanks to you all. Sure there are bugs to fix and maybe you have to fix them yourself or pay someone to do it. The alternative for "John" is clear: buy MS Windows. It works pretty well. - mo

The proper solution is to get this particular bug fixed one way or another. Frank Richter proposed a patch, but it hasn't been committed. We shouldn't document using native dlls though. -- James Hawkins

> BTW, you might be able to clarify how it can happen that Crossover > (derived from LGPL-ed WINE, if I understand it correctly) doesn't > have one of these bugs, but WINE does? Crossover has a limited set of applications that it supports, whereas Wine tries to support "all" applications. Sometimes a gross, ugly hack ends up in Crossover to support an app, that would break other apps, except that those other apps aren't supported by Crossover. As such the hacks end up remaining in the Crossover tree, and not going into winehq. > I used to think that LGPL requires availability of modified source, > and therefore WINE developers should be able to 'backport' bugfixes > from CrossOver to WINE, shouldn't they? Indeed, yes. Prominently linked from Codeweavers' products page: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/source/ --Juan __________________________________ Yahoo!

[daniel: OpenGL bug in 20050930]
by Daniel Oct. 14, 2005

Oct. 14, 2005

Hi, some combination of wine and my system seems to be triggering a strange bug: Every program that uses OpenGL or D3D crashes upon trying to initialize the graphics. Attached is a sample log of trying to run Starsiege Tribes. The other attachment is some system info (even though DRI is disabled, enabling ist changes nothing). Other apps have similar logs. If you want to try out Tribes in particular, search the web for 'tribes_fullgame.exe'; Fileplanet for example has it. greets, Daniel
