Bug ID: 38768 Summary: Stronghold 2 hangs when started. Product: Wine Version: 1.7.44 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: Robert.Zenz@bonsaimind.org Distribution: ---
Created attachment 51702 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=51702 warn+all log
When trying to start Stronghold 2, it simply hangs:
1. Start Stronghold 2 2. The configuration window opens, press Play 3. The configuration window closes, nothing happens 4. The process sits there consuming ~3-10% CPU, but no window appears ever
I tested the Steam version and the one contained within the Stronghold Collection, both show the same behavior, as does Stronghold Legends. Stronghold 1 and Crusader work flawlessly. This was tested in a clean prefix (SH1 and SHC was tested in the same prefix afterwards).
Attached is the output of warn+all, if you need any more logs drop me a note. The application was terminated with Ctrl+C after it hang.
According to the log SH2 fails to create the configuration fail, however the permissions of the directory are okay. Also I tried to create the configuration file by hand (by simply using touch), Stronghold 2 would then fail with an error dialog that the application stopped working correctly. I guess that this is expected behavior as it most likely tries to load the (empty) configuration file and fails miserably to do so. Though, I can't say if it hangs because it can't create the configuration file or if it is something different.
