Summary: Madden NFL 08: creating thousands of orphaned temp files Product: Wine Version: 1.1.7 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: j.craig@aggiemail.usu.edu
Madden NFL 08 is creating thousands of temporary files in the "c:\windows\temp" directory and they are not being deleted. The file names are of the form "MADxxxx.tmp" with the x's being hex digits, so I do believe the file names are coming from the GetTempFileName function. The files are all MP3 music files. This is happening on the order of about 17,000 files (total 70 GB of space) in about 60 minutes of game time, so it is fairly critical if you don't know it is happening, as it will quickly eat all your hard drive space. If you do know it is happening it is just annoying deleting all the files.
I played this game for a few months on a Windows box and did not run into this problem. It happens every time the game is run as far as I can tell. I am running OpenSUSE 11.0 x86-64.
