Summary: Victoria 2 demo crashes during load without MaxShadowSize 0 Product: Wine Version: 1.3.1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org
Victoria 2 demo currently crashes on startup due to bug 13297 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13297
If you workaround it with winetricks d3dx9_36, however, the game will crash during load when it reaches "loading flags" (just after loading sounds).
Setting HKCU/Software/Wine/DirectSound/MaxShadowSize to "0" allows the game to work.
