Bug ID: 58566 Summary: Maxis games (Simcity2000, SimCopter, StreetsofSimCity) do not work anymore because smackw32.dll won't load, no matter how much it's pasted all over the file system. WoW64 (yes I know you'll just ignore this bug as won't fix: that's how opensource is now) Product: Wine Version: 10.12 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: chaosesqueteam@sogetthis.com Distribution: ---
This dll doesn't work on WoW: it's in the game dir, and I put it in systemwow64, system32, and system. Doesn't work. No maxis games can run. (also note: the 16 bit installer doesn't work at all since you don't allow 16 bit apps in wow64 mode, only 32, so all of the games everyone is using wine for can't be installed the normal way anymore since they use 16 bit installer binaries)
0640:err:environ:init_peb starting L"F:\WIN95\SC2K\SIMCITY.EXE" in experimental wow64 mode 0640:fixme:wow:wow64_NtSetLdtEntries 1107 0488323f 0000f335 0000 00000000 00000000: stub 0640:err:module:loader_init "smackw32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting 0640:err:module:loader_init Initializing dlls for L"F:\WIN95\SC2K\SIMCITY.EXE" failed, status c0000005
Ok so I'll be banned now for reporting a bug
WOW64: WONT FIX!!! MAXIS 16 bit installer! WONT FIX 32 bit dll though and you got around the installer WONT FIX AND BANNED!!!
Opensource really sucks these days. I liked it when I was coding with my friends 20 years ago. This culture of bullshit didn't exist then, and ultra professionalism.
We are hackers. Not professional software engineers.
