Bug #: 30902 Summary: Arcania: Gothic 4 fails to start (hangs on startup) Product: Wine Version: 1.5.6 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.gamershell.com/download_63874.shtml OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 40514 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=40514 plain terminal output
Both the demo version and the full version of the game hang after starting, without displaying anything. The Arcania.exe process is just sitting there, seems to idling (1-3% CPU usage). Terminal output doesn't reveal much about what's going on. There are messages from the game engine, always ending with the line 'Baked PC'. It doesn't matter if I let the installer install the required components (DirectX, Physx, VC++), or I install them via winetricks (with latest Wine version the game needs Physx and Xact audio libraries). I also tried the followings to no avail: - different Wine profiles (XP/Vista/Seven) - newer version of Physx, downloaded from Nvidia - forcing the game to run only on 1 core (taskset -c 0) - installing Windows Media Player 10 (videos, including intros are stored in wmv format)
Some of the testers in AppDB agree that the problem must be due to the copy-protection used by the game (Securom). I'm not sure about that. I tested with the Gamersgate version of the game. - the original version (without patches) contains Securom 8.1.8 (release date check + hardware based DRM). Activating Gothic 4 with this particular Securom version worked under Wine 1.5.6, but the game hung afterwards. - the first patch for the game changes DRM to the less restrictive Securom 7.42.xx. Applying this patch didn't change the behaviour, the game hangs after starting. - the latest official patch for the game removes Securom (actually it is still there, but they made it inert). The same problem exists with this patch as well. - I also have the standalone expansion for Gothic 4 (ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif), which is completely DRM free. It behaves in the same way as the original game with Securom.
The problem can be reproduced with the demo version as well (~1.7 GB download size). The demo indeed contains Securom. The attached log file was created by starting the expansion, just because it is DRM free. Although terminal output always ends with the 'Baked PC' message, using +loaddll revealed that Physx dlls were loaded afterwards.

--- Comment #1 from Jens jens_kersten@t-online.de 2012-08-10 17:32:45 CDT --- Dont know if it does matter or not, but i found the following lines in the bash
fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_HANDLE_INFORMATION fixme:ntdll:NtQueryObject Unsupported information class 3 err:rpc:I_RpcGetBuffer no binding
Symptom is, that the game wouldnt start. Installation is no Problem. I can confirm some of the point GyB was given, it seems to idling. Changing the wine profile doesnt seem to change the symptom.

The DRM/software protection scheme employs several anti-debugging/hacking measures. One is the use of "watcher" thread(s) that look for running processes matching a blacklist (debuggers, hacker tools, ...) by querying the window title.
The point where the hang/deadlock happens:
--- snip --- ... 0043:Call KERNEL32.GetProcAddress(7eca0000,100dc264 "FindWindowA") ret=01347836 0043:Ret KERNEL32.GetProcAddress() retval=7ecae278 ret=01347836 0043:Call user32.FindWindowA(00000000,100cde00 "vResourceViewer") ret=100501a6 0040:Ret winex11.drv.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() retval=00000000 ret=7ed5bad3 0043:Call winex11.drv.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx(00000001,08add260,ffffffff,00000040,00000000) ret=7ed5bad3 0040:Call window proc 0x151d3d0 (hwnd=0x3006c,msg=WM_GETTEXT,wp=00000011,lp=049ade88) 0040:Call KERNEL32.GetProcessTimes(ffffffff,049add7c,049add68,049add18,049add10) ret=0151d558 0040:Ret KERNEL32.GetProcessTimes() retval=00000001 ret=0151d558 0040:Call KERNEL32.CompareFileTime(049add7c,01bf1b04) ret=0151d56b 0040:Ret KERNEL32.CompareFileTime() retval=00000000 ret=0151d56b 0040:Call KERNEL32.OpenEventA(00000002,00000000,01bf1b30 "SECUROM_SMS_EVENT_BREAKER") ret=0151d761 0040:Ret KERNEL32.OpenEventA() retval=00000000 ret=0151d761 0040:Call user32.DefWindowProcA(0003006c,0000000d,00000011,049ade88) ret=0151e754 0040:Ret user32.DefWindowProcA() retval=00000000 ret=0151e754 0040:Ret window proc 0x151d3d0 (hwnd=0x3006c,msg=WM_GETTEXT,wp=00000011,lp=049ade88) retval=00000000 0043:Ret winex11.drv.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() retval=00000000 ret=7ed5bad3 0040:Call winex11.drv.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx(00000001,049ae738,ffffffff,000004ff,00000000) ret=7ed5bad3 0043:Call winex11.drv.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx(00000001,08add260,ffffffff,00000040,00000000) ret=7ed5bad3 000d:Ret KERNEL32.Sleep() retval=00000000 ret=00492bcd 001e:Ret KERNEL32.Sleep() retval=00000000 ret=00492bcd ... --- snip ---
Thread 0x43 queries the window list.
The first query succeeds (WM_GETTEXT handled) because thread 0x40 owning window(s) actually has a message pump.
Window creation:
--- snip --- ... 0040:Call user32.CreateWindowExA(00000000,049ae7e8 "Arcania.exe_24_5F77A6_1EB2446",00000000,08000000,ffff8000,ffff8000,00000001,00000001,00000000,00000000,00400000,01eb2462) ret=0151ea2a ... 0040:Ret user32.CreateWindowExA() retval=0003006c ret=0151ea2a --- snip ---
The second query blocks thread 0x43 indefinitely because thread 0x25 doesn't handle messages at all.
Window creation (OLE init) and WaitForSingleObject:
--- snip --- ... 0025:Call user32.CreateWindowExW(00000000,7ea885e0 L"OleMainThreadWndClass 0x######## ",00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,fffffffd,00000000,7e990000,00000000) ret=7e9ab7b5 ... 0025:Ret user32.CreateWindowExW() retval=0001006a ret=7e9ab7b5 0025:Ret ole32.CoInitialize() retval=00000000 ret=0138112b ... 0025:Call KERNEL32.WaitForSingleObject(00000160,ffffffff) ret=0055b7d3 ... --- snip ---
