Summary: Hardwar launcher fails to start: 'Can't initialize DirectDraw object' Product: Wine Version: 1.3.28 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.gamefront.com/files/3777156/Hardwar_Demo OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com CC: hverbeet@gmail.com Regression SHA1: 5de020342cc039819b6fe11ee787d5a9a288f85a
Hardwar was originally released in 1998, it uses DirectX5. The game has been recently re-released by DotEmu (they made the game compatible with modern systems, Vista/Seven etc.).
The problem: when starting the launcher (Hardman.exe), I get the following error message: 'Can't initialize DirectDraw object'.
The problem is reproducible in the early demo too (link added to url).
In the terminal only fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f158,0x00000000), stub! fixme:ddraw:ddraw7_Initialize iface 0x135fb0, guid (null) stub!
The launcher works in 1.3.28, but not in git (wine-1.3.28-308-gae80430). This is due to the following commit:

Steps to reproduce the problem in the demo: 1) Unpack the archive containing the installer, run Setup.exe (Win98 mode is needed to install the demo properly). 2) Run the launcher by Hardman.exe and see the error message.
