------- Additional Comments From adolf.j.winterer@inn-salzach.de 2006-11-04 03:58 ------- To me, it does not look like an exact duplicate. The problem occurs with a single player game just the same as with a mulitplayer game (I do use TCP/IP multiplayer, but not BattleNet).
The game itself runs rock stable. Playing for 6 to 8 hours is no problem. I can host the game or connect to the game. There is no problem with the startup of the game or with making connection. There is no problem with viewing the intro or other video sequences (all videos were copied to my HD).
The only other problem is that I do not have sound with all the last versions (0.9.x), but I'm not sure that WINE is the source of the problem (somewhere within the timeline I switched from SuSE 9.3 to 10.0), so I left this part out. With earlier versions I had sound but it tended to begin to stutter after about 40 to 50 minutes into the game an fail completely afterwards without causing other problems. Outside the game sound was fine.
The fact that the error message is not part of WINE (which was my impression) is interessting, but in my opinion this does not mean, WINE could not be the "trigger" for the error making it happen. The error does not occur at any other time in the game, it is fixed to exactly the switch from one act to the next. In fact, no other errors do break the game, making it stop.
As I'm not very good at creating my own RPMs (I want to use RPMs because I _never_ install software without the package manager), I'd like to get the next packaged version instead of using the CVS version and creating my own RPM.
I hope to find out who does the packaging for the repository, so I can contact him/her and check if some special patches or settings are used during the process.
