Summary: 4Story stopped working due to a new cheat/hack detection system Product: Wine Version: 1.1.25 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wine.ia_mask@spamgourmet.com
Since the patch on the 22.07.2009 for the German 4Story, the game no longer starts. After clicking "Start" in the launcher, the game just displays a small dialog box containing the text "###" and an Ok button.
Presumably, this is due to a new cheat/hack detection system that the new version of 4Story comes with.
If anyone can suggest what to do to give more insight into the situation (like tracing function calls etc.), I'm open to suggestions.
