Summary: dsound:IDirectSoundBufferImpl_AcquireResources must return DS_OK for some games Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC URL: http://jkansoft.mine.nu/cgi-bin/jkansoft.cgi?page=7&o= 7 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jkxx2@yahoo.com
The url above is a link on how to patch Wine to make two games (Rail Simulator, RailWorks) playable.
The issue is that both games call IDirectSoundBufferImpl_AcquireResources and then crash unless the return value is DS_OK. Neither game actually calls any related functions or requires the functionality of the real dsound function. Upon returning DS_OK, sound works correctly in both games.
Returning DS_OK is definitely not the solution to the problem since the function is still unimplemented but it fixes the above and maybe some other games.
