--- Comment #20 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2011-05-07 00:10:24 CDT --- Still an issue in wine-1.3.19-203-gf555c2d: the game hangs at the splash screen, spamming the console with: err:gstreamer:push_data Sending returned: -2
As a workaround, I had to disable in-game music via the registry: under 'HKCU/Software/Malfador Machinations/Star Fury/' the 'Play Music' registry value must be changed to 'false'. Afterwards the game starts but the screen is mainly black: I had to change ORM to backbuffer. The game is kinda slow, though.
I wouldn't be surprised if this one and bug #9059 were about the same problem: both games are from the same developer and disabling music work arounds the initial startup problem in both games.
In-game music files are encoded in MP3 format: 44,1 kHz, Stereo, CBR 128 Kbps. They also contain some id3 tags: artist, album, genre. I've tried the full version of the game (v1.17), with only built-in dlls in use.
