Summary: Wine freezes the whole system -> hardware reset - Warcraft III Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: clemensb@gmx.net
Sometimes Warcraft III crashes the whole system - the display freezes, i can see the last frame of the game... and can do nothing but a hardware reset. I marked this bug critical cause I think the real big problem isn't that Warcraft III freezes the system - the terrifying thing is the fact that wine is able to crashes my whole system, making me unable to do anything but a hardware reset. It occurs on my ThinkPad R61 with integrated Intel GMA965 X3100 graphic card.
It doesn't matter if its 64 or 32-Bit, i tried several Ubuntu and Archlinux versions, with different mesa/X/drivers. It occurs in all wine version i've used so far... maybe on some more often, on some less. It's total random when it happens - but most of the time when I change from X (Gnome) to Warcraft (Alt-Tab or things like that) or the other way round.
So I guess the main question is, why is wine able to crashes my system? Why I'm not able to do something other than a hardware reset? But of course, it's a big problem too that Warcraft III freezes.
Please ask me anything with wich i can help you.
