Bug #: 31586 Summary: Myst V stucked when about playing the first cutscene in the game Product: Wine Version: 1.5.11 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Demo-Myst-V-End-Of-Ages_1 6462550.html OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: directx-dmusic AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified

This probably never worked correctly in Wine: in AppDB there are mentions of the issue with Wine 0.9.x. Reproducible with the demo as well as with the GOG.com version of the game.
The problem: when you meet the first person very early in the game, his/her initial monologue is not playing. The person is just standing there, the audio file containing the speech is never played. This makes impossible to get further in the game. The game is not freezing; background music, animations, camera movement are still working, but you are unable to use the keyboard or the mouse. The only way to exit the game at this point is to kill the game executable. This is the point where certain fixmes from dmime are printed in the terminal, as can be seen at the end of the attached log.
Workaround: 'winetricks directmusic' (which also installs native dsound). The corresponding audio file is playing correctly and you can proceed further in the game.
Steps to reproduce the problem with the demo version:
1. install the demo, use virtual desktop mode to work around bug #25786. At the end of the installation, audio files used by the game will be converted from .ogg to .wav. It should be noted that the game installer hits bug #17403 at this point: the converted .wav files have different sizes, compared to the same files when the game is installed under Windows. Probably that's not what causes the reported issue (native directmusic doesn't help in bug #17403). 2. start the demo with eoa.exe. Skip the intro videos and click <Ok> in the notification dialogue about mouse movement. 3. there is a 'bubble' in front of you, left click on it to get closer. A man appears in front of you, but he's just standing there, his monologue is not playing thus you can't proceed further. The audio file that should be played at this point in the demo version is 'drboEsher-DireboSrln_eng.wav', located under Myst V Demo/sfx/streamingCache.
Please let me know if you need a log with debug channels enabled.
