FEAR output

When I was trying to launch FEAR: Perseus Mandate demo, everything went ok,
until I've reached the game itself.

First of all - game wasn't starting at all, complaining about glsl bugs (it was
just crashing). I've enabled the DX8 Shader option - forces to use DirectX 8
shaders. Problem went away. Game loads, can see the graphics without any single
glitch, but when you stand up, the game crashes.

I can't reproduce problem with glsl, because even when I've enabled DX9
shaders, it still runs.

The output seems to be related to mp3 decoding
(wine/dlls/winemp3.acm/layer3.c). It's VERY strange, because it contains
non-ascii characters. The output looks like this on terminal and when I pipe it
to the file.

I've grepped out the lines containing "glsl" keyword (because the output was
~2mb and it contained only GL_INVALID_OPERATION statements).

Disabling PulseAudio didn't help. The game seems to be crashing wine, I've had
"Segmentation fault" error once.

Cheers,
Tomasz Salacinski

output(wine 1.1.5)

Confirming. Same thing with original game. There were crashes before but after
overriding some mp3 files everything was fully playable. But with all wine
versions after 1.0 or 1.1.0 FEAR is crashing during playing intro to the new
game. The only way to avoid this is to disable sound in game configuration

Enabling the mpeg3 debug channel could help.

I tried to obtain the crash with the demo. But no luck. It ran quite well.
Where does the game occur?

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce this bug either, because FEAR crashes
for me as soon as the game loads.

Crash output

Previously disabling the shaders (setting them to DX8) worked for me fine.
Right now I am using default settings with only shaders changed to DX8 (it
didn't work with DX9 either). I am using GIT version:

Ok, checked with current GIT - works fine. But it still crashes when sound
starts playing (not the speech, but when the character gets up).

joaopa: are you playing FEAR Perseus Mandate? I don't think it happens in FEAR
at all. Only in this demo in URL (Perseus Mandate).

Basically, when some kind of computer sound (sound effect from game) is
starting to play when character gets up, the game crashes. Crashes hard -
garbage in the terminal, not worth posting here.

Had tried 1.1.7 today. Got crashes with both PM demo and original FEAR
Still people saying that game works great
I'm using 64bit gentoo linux(2.6.27.3) and OSSv4.1 as a sound driver. Tomasz,
what's your system? Maybe the problem is't wine related...

Taras:

My system is Intel Core2Duo 2.53ghz, GeForce 8600GT, 2GB of RAM, Sound Blaster
Live! card.

Tried on Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 BETA, Fedora 9 was 32-bit, then reinstalled to
64-bit, and then I'm back on Fedora 10 32-bit (tried both archs).

The bug is hard to find, because it's WINE that is crashing, not the game. I am
compiling GIT right now and then I'll post if it works or not. Can it be
related to operating system or SB Live drivers?

@Tobias

No, as I said the game loads when DX8 is enabled. The problem is, that while in
game, after few seconds it crashes (every time exactly after playing one sound
- HUD beep). I can see the environment rendered properly, I can hear the into
speech, but every time the HUD activates its sound the game crashes with the
output I've provided. Haven't tested with newest Wine though (last version I've
tested was 1.1.8). If this problem isn't wine related, then it has to be
hardware-related, since I've changed my system from Fedora to Ubuntu and the
same problem still exists (ALSA sound driver with SB Live card).

Yeah, I see. Sry for the noise.

In any case, what version of mpg123 is installed on your system? I dunno if
wine uses some internal version of mpg123 but if it's using an external one,
the version might be an issue.

I have mpg123-1.3.1 installed on my system and FEAR works fine, except for the
isual graphical issues of course.

At least I can't get it to crash by using sound.

@Tobias

I think it is using its own mp3 decoding functions (layer3.c file). I don't
even have mpeg123 installed on my system (in Synaptic this package shows as
uninstalled). I will download the demo from a different server though, maybe
it's related to this polish mirror (I am getting 3 megabytes per second of
download here, that's why I am using it)? Maybe the file is corrupted?

I'll try to download it from eg. Fileshack and then post a reply. Anyway, I
think WINE shouldn't crash like this even if the file is corrupted (if it is).

I'll also try to reproduce the problem with a different sound card (I have an
Intel HDA 8.1 card on my motherboard - it's disabled right now, and old SB
Live! that works for me for a long time and never failed. I'll try to remove SB
Live and try with Intel).

Hi Tomasz,

also using a Soundblaster Live! variant here (Live! Player 1024, through ALSA).

kernel is gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r2, using the in-kernel ALSA driver. I never
tested the FEAR demo with wine though, I only have the Platinum collection
here, which includes the main game plus all the add-ons. However I have only
installed the main game currently.

crashlog for fear 2 demo

It looks like the fear 2 demo suffers from the same mpeg3 issue. Disabling the
sound let the game run fine.
