Summary: World War One Gold demo fails to start: 'Clock manipulation detected!' [Exe Cryptor protection] Product: Wine Version: 1.3.26 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/212341/210000/fileinfo/World -War-One:-Gold-Edition-Demo OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com
After starting the trial version of the game I'm getting the following error message: 'Clock manipulation detected!' Afterwards the game simply quits. Not a single line appears in the terminal during the game execution.
Normally (under Windows), a trial reminder should appear, showing something like 'You have xx days left'.
The problem is probably due to the fact that the game executable is protected by ExeCryptor. Protection Id tells us the facts:
Scanning -> C:\Program Files\World War One Gold\WW1.exe File Type : 32-Bit Exe (Subsystem : Win GUI / 2), Size : 9533952 (0917A00h) Byte(s) [File Heuristics] -> Flag : 00000000000000011100000000100011 (0x0001C023) [!] EXE Cryptor v2.20 - v2.40 detected ! [!] Possible CD/DVD-Key or Serial Check -> trial period [CompilerDetect] -> Visual C++ 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005) - Scan Took : 1.459 Second(s)
Note: the size of the demo for WWI Gold is huge (1.4 GB). One can easily reproduce the reported problem by starting the trial version of Universal Mechanic (uses the same protection method, only 88 MB): http://www.umlab.ru/download/60/eng/um60.exe (after installation launch either UMInput.exe or UmSimul.exe to get the same error message).
