Summary: Luka: graphic object not found / cannot load savegame just after start Product: Wine Version: 1.1.11 Platform: PC URL: http://www.luka.polizei-beratung.de/download.html OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hoehle@users.sourceforge.net
The application "Luka und das geheimnisvolle Silberpferd" throws an exception and exits when - trying to load a saved game or - attempting to select one of the scenes intended for teachers ("Lehrerversion") but only in case you just started the application. It is possible to load a saved scene after you went once through the (long) "start new game" introduction sequence.
The application's log file (Ogre.log) mentions that some object could not be found as the cause of the exception Function: SceneManager::getLight Description: Cannot find Light with name youthclub_youthclub_1.
An issue possibly related might be that after playing for some time (or whatever the bug trigger is), one may enter a scene where the main character is not rendered, as if its graphics were missing. The log is then similar. The game is not playable anymore from that point on, one must return to the main menu. Even a save/load cycle does not restore the character once it disappeared.
Be sure to install the "XP 1.0.1" patch as well as the main program (as I mention in the test results), otherwise the application hangs during startup. Also be sure to select the OpenGL renderer as I explain in AppDB.
This affects wine-0.9.61..wine-1.1.11 (wine-1.1.14 suffers from a regression, that's a distinct issue). Using Ubuntu Hardy and the XOrg Intel video driver. If this were fixed, the app rating would jump from bronze to gold.
