Bug #: 29934 Summary: Weird Worlds: Launcher no longer launches the game Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: samurai_no_densetsu@yahoo.es Classification: Unclassified
Weird Worlds's launcher no longer works as expected. Since this is a regression, I did a regression test but it was unsuccessful.
The launcher works fine from wine-1.0 to wine-1.3.25, including the stable version wine-1.2.3. So I tried to bisect 1.3.25 against 1.4-rc4.
When I was doing the bisection learned that between wine-1.3.27 and wine-1.3.33 (both included) the launcher didn't even appear, and manually had to skip all that range, and within wine-1.3.34 to wine-1.4-rc4 the menu launcher is there but no longer launches the game. Can't provide a regression id as the issue clearly raised between wine-1.3.27 and wine-1.3.33, versions in which the launcher does not start so is virtually impossible to test.
Didn't noticed earlier as the game can be launched from scripts or commandline this way: wine weird.exe -skiplauncher -game default
Luckyly there's a demo showing the same behaviour here: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Demos/DD_WW_win.html
I wish I could add more info, but that's all I have right now.
