I've recently tried Paraworld Gold v1.05 on Fedora 15 and my experience differs a bit: when starting a single-player game (campaign or skirmish), the game neither crashes nor freezes...it just sits there with the loading screen (the mouse pointer is moving and music is playing but nothing else happens). As if the game was waiting for something...
After starting a single-player game, there are 3 processes running: PWClient.exe Paraworld.exe PWServer.exe 127.0.0.1:666
PWServer.exe tries to communicate on a low port number which is not allowed for a normal user under Linux. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to change that port number by looking into the game config files. Maybe it is hard-coded in the executable.
On the other hand, multiplayer works because in MP the PWServer.exe uses a higher port number. In case of hosting a MP game, in the process list: PWServer.exe my.ip.add.ress:1905
I must be really dumb... cause I got exactly the same behaviour : "...but the game is still running, I got the loading screen, the music etc. But I can't do anything (except moving the mouse)..."
The page fault must have occurred only when I force the game exit...
I think we can close this bug or change it's name...
Sorry for the bad report.
