Bug ID: 53951 Summary: Corsairs game crashes at startup Product: Wine Version: 7.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: varrok@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 73527 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=73527 Logs from a clean wine32 prefix + winetricks dsound, quartz, gdi+, cinepack components. WinXp compatibility mode.
Hi ????,
I'm trying to get the Corsairs Gold game to run https://www.gog.com/game/corsairs_gold , but it refuses to. I got it to run on one prefix (with issues, but at least got through the intro videos, menus [with error messages] to gameplay), but reproducing it cleanly was too hard after multiple attempts.
Sadly, this game doesn't have a demo for easy reproduction.
When I launch the game (getting past the separate .exe launcher), black screen is displayed (where the cutscenes are supposed to play) for some time (probably video duration) then the game's splash image is displayed, and the game crashes at the first frame of the main menu.
The report issue Wine popup appears, but doesn't manage to fill in the data to send even after waiting for a long while. I do have output logs though, attached here.
Extra information: - This game uses cinepack codec for the .avi videos, but installing it via winetricks doesn't make them immediately run (they display black screen) - The game requires at least the quartz component of winetricks (or equivalent), and most likely dsound too - installing them alone didn't make the game get to the menu correctly. Tried various other including: directmusic, directshow, avifil32, dsmo, mf, allcodecs, gdi+, didn't seem to change anything. - The GOG version of the game uses a modified ddraw.dll (adraw.dll), it might be the cause of some issues. Some person posted a modified exe that is compatible with normal ddraw.dll https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/2a942442/#7aa5 (Not that I wish you to run potentially untrusted executables, so I'll just say I tried it and though the file seems a legit game executable, it didn't help this time) - The crashed game doesn't exit cleanly, and sometimes the next launch crashes a bit sooner than the others. Just a heads-up so you don't become insane from seeing different outcomes to seemingly the same action :) - wine-7.21-219-g5d1820c40bd , but the issue wasn't introduced in any new version - tested on a 32bit prefix, with emulated desktop 800x600
