Summary: Sims 3 can't detect disc Product: Wine Version: 1.3.14 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Even though I have D: and D:: symlinked to /media/Sims3 and /dev/sr0, and verified that InstallSource was set to d:\ in the app's registry, it still won't recognize the disc.
According to http://www.snootysims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=30012 Sims 3 uses a snippet of Securom code to check for the disc.
