Summary: Sims 3 crashes to desktop when entering Create-A-Sim. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.37 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: briandoe1@gmail.com
Although installation and execution of The Sims 3 works well, the game crashes to desktop when attempting to enter Create-A-Sim (CAS). Since CAS is an extremely important aspect of Sims 3, and creating new sims is mandatory for new installations, I am rating the severity of this bug as Major.
Terminal output gives the following at the time of crash to desktop: wine: Call from 0x7b836462 to unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXFillVolumeTexture, aborting
