Summary: Simcity 3000 has partial, grainy, B&W video, and crashes with "exceptional error" upon mouse focus Product: Wine Version: 0.9.15. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: j.ramos@rcn.com
When trying to run Simcity 3000, I would run wine SC3.EXE , a window would come up for where the game would be displayed, I'd say an 800x600 box, the intro shows up really grainy, and compressed into the left side of about a third of the size of the 800x600 display box. I then go to click, to focus on the window trying to see what options I have to fix the resolution of the game, it then crashes with a box popping up saying "??? Exceptional Error". Then I can't do anything more. Looking at my console I see the following: err:menubuilder:fork_and_wait wineshelllink returned 1 err:menubuilder:InvokeShellLinker failed to fork and exec wineshelllink err:menubuilder:fork_and_wait wineshelllink returned 1 err:menubuilder:InvokeShellLinker failed to fork and exec wineshelllink err:menubuilder:extract_icon32 LoadLibraryExW (L"c:\windows\winhelp.exe "C:\Program Files\Maxis\SIMC~FLD\EAHELP.HLP"") failed, error 126 err:menubuilder:InvokeShellLinker failed to fork and exec wineshelllink err:menubuilder:fork_and_wait wineshelllink returned 1 err:menubuilder:InvokeShellLinker failed to fork and exec wineshelllink fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance Untranslated charset 228 jazz@TheArk:/usr/local/wine$ fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x7fd6ded0)->(0x20036,00000008) fixme:ddraw:DIB_DirectDrawSurface_Blt Can't handle DDBLT_WAIT flag right now. fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x7fd6ded0)->(0x30036,00000008) fixme:ddraw:DIB_DirectDrawSurface_Blt Can't handle DDBLT_WAIT flag right now. fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open
I have no clue what it means, but I see it saying it can't handle this and that. How can I correct this issue? I'm running an x86 based Debian[Etch] system with a 2.6.17 kernel with nvidia driver support installed. Oh and I installed this from source, I originally tried 0.9.28 with less success, downgrading to 0.9.15 actually got me closer to playing the game(i know have partial video)...I'm almost there, help...please :)
