--- Comment #1 from Cùran debian@carbon-project.org 2011-07-12 02:04:08 CDT --- First of all: all my test/attempts were done with "Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition", which includes most/all DLC, the expansion pack and automatically patches the game to 1.04 on a successful installation.
(In reply to comment #0)
Installing Dragon Age goes ok (I do winetricks vcrun2005 physx first),
AFAICT the winetricks stuff isn't required, at least not for the UE, as it installs both of the above named packages by itself (I wasn't asked whether I want to or not). What was required however, was to read the two DVDs in as ISOs and install from them, because if I tried to install directly from the DVDs, the setup failed at the "insert disc 2" step (there is a small message box asking you to insert the second disc and you can either click "retry" or "cancel", after inserting/mounting disc two and clicking "retry" nothing would happen except, that the message box appeared again, in one odd case the disc was actually ejected from the drive). @Dan Kegel: just FYI: winetricks games dragonage_ue didn't work either, with the DVDs
but running the game fails with "Failed to authenticate the disk. Please insert the correct disk and try again."
This bug is still there with Wine 1.3.24 for DA: O 1.04 as installed by the UE installer. And it doesn't matter whether I have run "wineticks physx vcrun2005 d3dx9" or not.
Oddly, IIRC, installing from an .iso image works around this.
Either you didn't remember this correctly or this isn't true for me with the UE (as you can see from the beginning of this post).
I'm not sure what kind of debugging channels or tests would be most helpful in getting to the core of this, thus I created a +all log ([0]). If I don't add any debugging channels I get six lines of output ([1]) and the message box [2] telling me, the disc couldn't be verified (if I try to start with the ISO mounted, it get a different message box, telling me, that the disc couldn't be found).
