Summary: Dead Space 2 digital download installer crashes on start Product: Wine Version: 1.3.11 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: NightNord@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=32945) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=32945) Default deadspace_f_activation.exe log
While game itself isn't released, if you'd preordered it from EA Store, it's possible to download installer.
While trying to launch installer, it's launching "activation.exe", that unpacks itself into C:\users\Temp\mtka_tmp and runs deadspace_f_activation, that crashes (log attached).
It's almost definite, that SecuROM is somehow involved in process, as there is a bunch of SecuROM files and dlls request in WINEDEBUG=+warn, and there is secupacker_launcher.exe, but, probably, crash caused by something else.
It should be runnable before release date, I'm sure, as language files contents strings of "too early" messages and there is "Release Date Check" procedure.
Before closing, it told me, that "To finish activation process, you must have Administrative privileges" (or something like that, translated from Russian)
No tweaks and no additional software installed - pure ~/.wine prefix. Log produced from launching only deadspace_f_activation.exe - otherwise debugger can't produce backtrace.
