Summary: Star Trek: Armada crashes in mission when the HUD becomes visible Product: Wine Version: 0.9.19. Platform: PC URL: http://downloads.scifinews.de/file_13372.html OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: lukas.middendorf@freenet.de
When I try to play Star Trek: Armada (the installer does not work, just copy over the "data" directory and put the dlls from "shared" into it; to start armada.exe you have to cd into the directory that contains it), the game crashes in the first mission, when the HUD shows up. The cinematic before that (it also seems to use the graphics-engine) works perfectly. It takes several minutes (3-4) to load the mission (on Windows only a few seconds), so be patient when trying to reproduce the bug.
I have tried wine 0.9.19 compiled from source on a FC5-box.
The the demo (just unzip the installer) sometimes shows the same Problem, but most of the time the loading screen for the mission does not even appear. If you wait 5 minutes (about the time the full version should need to load the mission and play the cinematic), the demo finally crashes like the full version, but you can not see or hear anything. This may be related to the fact, that the full version of the game I own comes shipped with the 1.2 patch applied and the demo should be based on 1.0 .
