Bug ID: 43567 Summary: Vietcong - game crashes during radiocalls Product: Wine Version: 2.14 Hardware: x86-64 URL: http://www.moddb.com/games/vietcong/downloads/vietcong -singleplayer-demo OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: havran.jan@email.cz Distribution: ArchLinux
Created attachment 58977 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=58977 Vietcong - terminal log
Vietcong crashes when radiocall icon is shown. This bug is also reproduciable on Windows > Vista, but it works on Windows XP. There exists community tool: VCStarter, which fixes this for newer Windows and also for Wine. I have spoke with VCStarter creator and he told me that the game uses some dirty assembler in that part (maybe part of anticheat protection or no-cd crack?). I have doubts if it is really Wine bug, but since this game works on Windows <= XP, it should also work on Wine (with Win XP compatibility).
PS: You will not be able tu run this game probably because of bug #9337. As a workaround, you can use VCStarter (version 1.7 only, older versions did not fix the bug) or patch from bug #39057 - all this is described in bug #9337 PPS: While patch from bug #39057 fixes bug #9337 crashing for all Vietcong versions, VCStarter works only with Vietcong 1.60 (so it does not work with Vietcong demo version).
