Summary: MechWarrior 4: Vengeance (w/o SafeDisc) fails to start Product: Wine Version: 0.9.37. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jhansonxi@gmail.com
This is a different issue from Bug #8411 (which was a SafeDisc support problem.) As part of that bug I used a SafeDisc unwrapper to remove the actual application executable from within the encrypted ICD file and verified it on a Win98SE installation. In Wine it still crashed. While SafeDisc v1 support is being added I don't see any reason to delay working on this secondary issue which affects other games in this series (like Mercenaries).
