Bug #: 29129 Summary: HOMM3 (from GOG.com) installs, but does not start Product: Wine Version: 1.3.28 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: p.ixiemotion@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 37531 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=37531 debug log
This regards Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete (GOG.com version), http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24425
I've tried both plain wine and playonlinux, and with both the game installs fine, but then when I try to start it, the taskbar shows one program with the HOMM3 icon (nothing shows when I click on it) and one program that says "Program error". I haven't found any similar bug reports, and from searching around, it seems everyone else gets it to run in wine just fine.
The result of running
env WINEPREFIX="/home/alouqua/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/homm3" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/alouqua/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/homm3/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Heroes\ of\ Might\ and\ Magic\ 3\ Complete.lnk &> ~/homm3wine.log
is attached.
This is running 32-bit Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, wine 1.3.28, winetricks 20110629.
It's pretty much a fresh install, haven't tried running anything else in wine, nor done any winetricks. The laptop ran HOMM3 fine in Windows XP.
