Summary: Freelancer: hangs at start Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://www.gamershell.com/download_1395.shtml OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: greg87@online.de
When you trying to start freelancer, the game just hangs at splashscreen. By coincidence, I found out that the game proceeds if the freetype lib isnt installed.
The game delivers 3 fonts and installs them to /windows/fonts dir. One of the font is 22mb big, which is pretty unusual for a font(me thinks so at least) so this could be part of the problem. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833051(office.10).aspx Arial Unicode MS(Arialuni.ttf) is the file provided by the game.
