Bug ID: 46023 Summary: Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2 (kind of) crashes on startup and when reading saved files from disk Product: Wine Version: 3.14 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: tjt263@gmail.com
Created attachment 62600 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=62600 app crashed. wineloader64 box popped up. gave me this crashlog/traceback. tell me to save it and submit it to this page. so that's what i'm doing; following the instructions it gave me. hope it helps.
Relevant to Wine and/or CrossOver.
trying to get cisco packet tracer working reliably on macos. but there's an annoying error/dialog box at startup: "packet tracer has stopped working unexpectedly blah blah". Here is a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/HsyEKFq.png
but it has't actually stopped working. it works. for the most part, at least.
although actually interacting with the erroneous error/dialog box will in turn terminate the application. i'm guessing it's expecting something from the windows environment, and when it's not there, it throws an exception because some condition is not met.
i can just move the dialog box out of the way and carry on in the meantime, but it's still annoying. i think it's to do with the login screen. on windows it bullies you into signing up and logging in. or you can enter as a guest with a reduced feature set or something. but that isn't displayed in Wine. it just goes straight into the main application. i just move the error/dialog box to another desktop, or stash it in the corner, or behind the main window.
it was going fine for hours, then out of nowhere it crashed for real. but it allowed me to save progress. i saved to the macOS desktop. I can execute the application again and load the saved file, but after that, it will crash any time i try to move objects around. so i got so far, but now i'm stuck.
