--- Comment #10 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2010-11-13 05:14:50 CST --- Created an attachment (id=31893) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31893) terminal output Wine-1.3.7 native amstream.dll
The game still crashes on startup, using Wine-1.3.7. I started from scratch with a clean Wine prefix: the gstreamer related fixmes informed me about the missing codecs; the intro videos are in avi formats and coded by Cinepack. So I installed the gstreamer-ffmpeg plugin via the package manager. That seemed to fulfil the requirements but now I received a crash, probably because of several amstream.dll stubs. After installing native amstream.dll the crash occurs a bit later, now the log contains a bunch of gstreamer and quartz related fixmes, too. Afterwards I tried with native devenum and quartz dlls but I still receive a page fault.
Now only the -noavi command line parameter is the only workaround.
