Bug ID: 39471 Summary: Elminage Gothic freezes after clicking on "New Game" Product: Wine Version: 1.7.53 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fjfrackiewicz@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 52601 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52601 Terminal output for "wine Elminage.exe"
I am using the GOG version of Elminage Gothic on 32-bit Wine 1.7.53 compiled from source.
This issue is reproducible 100% of the time.
Elminage Gothic has two movies it plays:
One movie is the Ghostlight logo and then it plays an intro to the game once you click on "New Game".
The game freezes when attempting to play the second movie. You can hear sound play in the background and all but the game is locked up completely. I've attached the terminal output from when you run the game via the "wine Elminage.exe" command in terminal.
I have found a temporary workaround until this issue is somehow fixed:
Rename the two movie files so that the intro shows up in the logo's place. This involves renaming "logo.wmv" to "intro.wmv" and "intro.wmv" to "logo.wmv". After that, you need to start pressing the Escape button just as you click on "New Game" to skip the second movie and get into the game proper.
