Bug ID: 55936 Summary: Sven Bømwøllen series: Several games crash after loading screen Product: Wine Version: 8.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: nikolas.gur@stud.uni-due.de Distribution: ArchLinux
Created attachment 75501 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=75501 wine output for starting the games
At least the second, third and forth entry from the Sven Bømwøllen series (https://www.mobygames.com/group/3577/sven-b%C3%B8mw%C3%B8llen-games/) called Sven Zwø, Sven XXX and Sven 004 crash after showing briefly the loading screen (the main menu is not entered, and no GUI error messages are shown). The wine log messages appear to be similar in all three cases and are uploaded in the attachments. The first game in the series does not have any problems and is perfectly playable in wine.
The issue occurs both with demo and full CD versions of the games. The demo for Sven 4 can be downloaded from here, for the maintainers to confirm the bug:

Since the error mentions something about DirectDraw, I tried using https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw. I also tried setting WinXP compatibilty, emulating a virtual desktop and tried both Wine 32 and 64 prefixes, but none of this worked in any way.
