Summary: Problems with King's Quest 2 remake from Tierra Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC URL: http://www.tierraentertainment.com/KQ2.htm OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: moxh@hotmail.com
Wine 20021125 (cvs; wine-cvs-opengl-121502-1.i386.rpm) RedHat 8 Some windows .dlls installed by windows programs, however none related to directx (I think)
Game info: http://appdb.winehq.com/appview.php?appId=1097 Using game version 1.1
Steps to reproduce: 1) Install the game (it has a windows-based installer, works ok) 2) Run setup (wine winsetup.exe, works ok) 3) run the game (wine KQ2VGA.exe) The game loads (slowly), with some errors appearing in the console and in the game. When the main screen finally appears, the mouse is not usable. Thus the game cannot be played. The game is working, though, try for example pressing ctrl-q
Note: The game is based on Adventure Game Studio (AGS), which is closed source, but free (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk). Furthermore, AGS is using Allegro game library (http://alleg.sourceforge.net) for multimedia. Allegro is open-source.
Although Allegro is available for linux as well, the author of AGS is not willing to port it to linux (http://www.agsforums.com/acfaq.htm). Since the backend (Allegro) is available in open source, it should be relatively easy to understand what is not working in wine in respect to AGS and King's Quest 2...
Solving problems with this particular game many other AGS/Allegro games would probably work as well.
Will attach debug-logs later...
