Bug ID: 58797 Summary: Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) crashes if launched with a path with spaces Product: Wine Version: 10.15 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: user.pecheniok@gmail.com Distribution: ---
The path to the game contains the part "EA GAMES/Need for Speed Most Wanted/speed.exe". If I'm launching the game with a path as an argument(wine '~/Downloads/EA GAMES/Need for Speed Most Wanted/speed.exe'), it crashes with
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 01DF0004 at address 0065AA27(or 2c, it differs) (thread 0144), starting debugger...
but it works if I'm in the same folder and just use the exe name. This bug is, from what I observed, app-specific. Other apps I tried that have spaces in their paths do not crash because of that.

Specifically, the "Need for Speed Most Wanted" folder is the problem.
