Summary: Most attempts to save in Warcraft III 1.21a Reign of Chaos crash the game Product: Wine Version: 0.9.52. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: louis@qdcec.co.za
I am running Warcraft III Reign of Chaos patched to 1.21a on Fedora 7 x86_64 on an AMD Athlon 64 with a Radeon X1300. The game runs smoothly but MOST times when I try to save, the save dialog comes up, I enter a save name, I select overwrite if applicable, the words Saving Game appear. Now if all goes well the words turn green and the game continues. If it fails, the words remain there in white, the sound continues playing, but nothing else happens. If I overwrote a saved game, that game is no longer in my list of saved games. The only way out is to wineboot -k -f -s and then to restart from the last successful saved game. I notice that usually (not always) I can save a game in the very beginning of the game, and as long as I save again soon it may work. However, 4 out of 5 times it crashes, making the game very unplayable (if I need to save -- which I do).
