Summary: world chess network - program wcnchess.exe crashes because of OLE error 8000FFFF Product: Wine Version: 0.9.10. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-ole AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: chechi@shaw.ca
Hi, I have wine 0.9.10 on a gentoo linux box and wanted to play chess on wcn internet chess client (they don't tell the version on the site - latest I guess). I even checked your database and it appeared in there as working. The installation went smoothly and everything was good. But when I browsed to .wine/drive_c/Program Files/WCN and executed "wine wcn.exe" I got 2 dialogs with the following errors: Dialog 1: OLE Error 8000FFFF Dialog 2: Access Violation at address 0053DF7E in module 'wcnchess.exe'. Read of addresss 0000032C
and the following output to the console: err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil)
... at this point it was hanging and I had to CTRL-C
The bug is very reproductible and is the same on Mandriva Linux. I hope I have been specific enough. I know there are other people complaining on the wcn forums that they can't play on linux so if you fix this you will make a lot of persons happy.
Thank you very much for giving your time, Stephan Badragan
