Summary: Kingdom Heroes shows blue screen on startup Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: x86 URL: http://kingdomheroes.aeriagames.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
After doing "winetricks vcrun2005" to work around bug 23736, Loader.exe happily updates the game and then launches it. The game proper puts up a "Loading" screen for 20 seconds, then an empty blue window, with console output fixme:quartz:VideoRendererInner_QueryInterface No interface for {9e5530c5-7034-48b4-bb46-0b8a6efc8e36}! The tip at http://forums.aeriagames.com/viewtopic.php?p=6714261 says this happens on Windows sometimes, too, and is caused by playback failure of movies/kh2_opening.avi, which is a WMP9 file. Moving that file to another directory got past this problem and let me play the game. (winetricks wmp9 might be a better workaround if you want to see the movie.)
http://forums.aeriagames.com/viewtopic.php?t=825711#6479403 had a much longer list of required winetricks, glad it turned out to be simpler than that.
