Bug ID: 49657 Summary: SCP: Secret Laboratory no longer works after an update Product: Wine Version: 5.14 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: flgx@protonmail.com Distribution: ---
SCP: Secret Laboratory (https://store.steampowered.com/app/700330/SCP_Secret_Laboratory) no longer works after a big update called "scopophobia", which includes an anti-cheat. The game just does not start and seems to be stuck doing something with registry. The game worked even with the update as beta branch testing, but I assume the anti-cheat wasn't there yet. It looks like it's doing some virtual machine checks and checks SystemBiosVersion and VideoBiosVersion, which wine doesn't have as far I know. It also seems to do something with ControlSet001 which is also not in wine as far I know.
I also tried creating the registry keys and values manually with no success. (while wineserver was still running)
This issue might be similiar to the PUBG: Lite one #47701 which also seems to check SystemBiosVersion.
Would it be possible to add SystemBiosVersion, VideoBiosVersion registry values to wine? And about ControlSet001, would it make sense to link it to the CurrentControlSet in case it is actually required by the game?
