Bug ID: 49123 Summary: Multiple games crash or hang on startup since Wine 5.7 Product: Wine Version: 5.8 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: winter.snowfall23@gmail.com Regression SHA1: fd7992972b252ed262d33ef604e9e1235d2108c5 Distribution: Ubuntu
Multiple games will hang or crash on startup following this commit: https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/fd7992972b252ed262d33ef604e9e1...
Reverting the commit, as per https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49007#c11, fixes the issue.
Among the affected games (all of which I have been able to test) are: - Anno 1404 - Anno 1701 - BioShock Remastered - Divinity 2 - The Witcher 2
Neither of these have worked since Wine 5.7. Confirmed not to be working in Wine 5.8 as well.
