Summary: Possible filename/-attribute handling problem with Mankind Product: Wine Version: 0.9.15. Platform: PC URL: http://appdb.winehq.com/appview.php?appId=2409 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: boeser.wolff@web.de
When trying to connect to Mankind's servers, the game checks for updates. this is unsuccessful and the error message "Unexpected Error occured while patching Mankind. (A disk error occured or C:\Program Files\Mankind have been modified by some other software. Please reinstall Mankind" is displayed. (Also see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5388). The application then causes a page fault on exit, see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4489 Doing a "+file" trace, I found Mankind is looking for files that dont exist: Mankind.ppf Mankind.mip and Mankind.npr (a file Mankind.1.231.238.npr does exist however, so I created a link to it) These files are not created during installation. If I create these files (eg. "touch ..."), the error message changes to: "Mankind was unable to start: files are missing or damaged. Please install Mankind again". The file Mankind.npr is found, but deleted when Mankind launches.
Steps to reproduce: - install Mankind: (get it from www.mankind.net) - launch it; doesnt matter wheter from the directory it was installed into, or from anywhere else. - click connect (requires a username and password from mankind.net).
