Summary: Out of memory error in Cyber Chess Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc6 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.zdnetasia.com/downloads/windows/cyber-chess _sw-39349263.htm OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: markk@clara.co.uk
This bug applies to the game Cyber Chess by Cosmi, both the retail CD-ROM and downloadable trial.
The trial can be downloaded from https://www.cosmi.com/login.aspx?Next=Download&Matnr=CDRS831 (registration required) or e.g. http://www.zdnetasia.com/downloads/windows/cyber-chess_sw-39349263.htm (no registration required). It's about 80MB.
Just before starting a game (after the FMV sequence), there is a dialog box which says "Sorry, not enough memory to proceed. Quitting".
The Cosmi web site http://www.cosmi.com/cgi-script/csFAQ/csFAQ.pl?command=viewFAQ&database=... points to an article on the Microsoft web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894472 "Third-party programs that require lots of memory do not run in Windows XP Service Pack 2".
The MS article says: "This hotfix includes a new Xpsp2res.dll file that dynamically finds a memory location to reduce virtual memory fragmentation. Before you apply this hotfix, we recommend that you ask the vendor of your programs to verify that this solution is acceptable. This hotfix enables the new Xpsp2res.dll file to find a memory location dynamically and reduce virtual memory fragmentation."
With Windows Vista, the out of memory dialog also appears. However, the game runs okay under Vista in XP SP2 compatibility mode. The out of memory dialog appears when running the game under Wine in XP mode.
