Bug #: 32275 Summary: UK Truck Simulator Demo does not start Product: Wine Version: 1.5.17 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: forspam54@ya.ru Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 42596 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42596 wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix <the prefix path>/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/UK\ Truck\ Simulator.lnk 2>&1 | tee wine.log
I downloaded the demo of UK Truck Simulator game from http://www.uktrucksimulator.com/download.php . Installed it in a clean prefix. It puts a link on the desktop that starts <install_dir>/bin/win_x86/uktrucks.exe, the game config utility and launcher. When I press "Start" in the launcher, it shows a blank window and nothing else happens.
The demo is actually the full game, limited to 1 hour of play. Apparently, it tries to connect to the internet and show a web page to let the user an option to buy a full game.
The full digital version has similar problem. It requires activation over the internet and it seems that's what it tries to do when I try to run the game.
