https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40315

Bug ID: 40315
           Summary: Galactic Civilizations II crashes on launch
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.5
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

Created attachment 53964
  --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=53964
log of the crash

Note: this pertains to the current, digital download version (both from Steam
and the Stardock store) of GalCiv2: Ultimate. I did not test the retail disk
version.

Galactic Civilizations II installs, but crashes on launch, as described here:

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16336&...

As noted, I think this may be a regression of some kind, but I'm not
knowledgeable to speculate. See attachment for crash log. This log was obtained
by running the following command:

WINEPREFIX=/opt/wineprefixes/gc2/ wine /opt/wineprefixes/gc2/drive_c/Program\
Files\ (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Galactic\ Civilizations\ II\ -\ Ultimate\
Edition/Twilight/GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe &> crash.log

I am open to gathering and recording additional information, and to trying more
workarounds if anyone has suggestions.

Is it the same game as in bug 36953 and 36956?

This is the same game as mentioned in bug 36953 and bug 36956, however I do not
know if those bugs affect the retail disk version, or the digital download
version, as the author does not seem to have indicated either way that I can
see in either bug.

In short: yes, but possibly not the same (most current) version of the same
game.

Sorry for the long delay.

I no longer have a Linux system handy running Xorg (I have switched to mac for
GUI systems). I have tested the GalCiv II Ultimate Edition digital download via
Wineskin using WINE 2.3 staging as the "engine", and the game appears to launch
and run perfectly, although it does display some warning popups before
launching.

In short, I can no longer reproduce this bug on the system I have available to
me.

Because to my knowledge, nobody else ever reproduced this, and I can no longer
reproduce this, I am marking this RESOLVED - WORKSFORME. I am not very familiar
with WINE's bug-related conventions, so feel free to change this if I have
selected incorrectly.

If the game works in the non-Staging version of Wine 2.3, then it would be
better to resolve this bug as fixed since WORKSFORME is used a bit differently,
if I recall correctly.
