Summary: Assassin's Creed: compatibility test app aborts when KERNEL32.SetThreadPriorityBoost fails Product: Wine Version: 1.1.42 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kernel32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
The Assassin's Creed installer runs Program Files/Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed/Detection/Detection.exe at the end. This is supposed to pop up a screen showing whether various components of your system meet minimum spec for the game. It crashes on wine after calling KERNEL32.SetThreadPriorityBoost. That function always returns FALSE on wine. Changing it to return TRUE lets Detection.exe work properly.
