--- Comment #3 from Bjarne Petersen nospam.nospam@mekanix.dk 2007-08-13 07:12:26 --- First, sorry for the long paste...
I went and changed the Audio-option (as suggested), but wine still crashes.
I might have an idea though. I've been playing around with demoes that - according to the appdb - should work (mostly). They all seem to crash/quit when trying to access a files *inside* an archive.
Eg. this is from the Vampire terminal output:
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
The java/lang/Thread is inside a classes.zip that can be found in Vampires top-directory.
And I have a similar problem with the Max Payne demo. It gives me the following warning: "Exception in startupInit:Directory \data not found"
Googling around I've found out that the \data-directory should be inside a ras-archive located a the demos top-directory. I've got to ras-archives there.
And again with Hitman Contracts demo. There too Wine crashed after it couldn't locate a file inside a zip-archive.
All 3 games have been run with a clean wine setup using WINEPREFIX=/home/username/Wine/NameOfGame
