crash dialog

Shows a steam/dnf crash dialog on start, without much info (attached). Also
tried the fixed files version, which fails, trying to import kernel32.dll (!).
Works under windows, so either a really strange crack, or some new copy
protection..

Hello,

that patched main executable has indeed a strange first import descriptor...
Some section names contain "KANXUE" which might point to origins of this
"patch".

--- snip ---

The Windows loader probably treats this as invalid descriptor (= ignores any
parts of it).
That "meqon.dll" is also referenced by other imports/dlls which have a valid
import descriptor for it, hence the problem will fix itself at later time.
Wine loader might be too strict here ...

Can you "profile" that executable using "Dependency Walker"
(http://www.dependencywalker.com/) under Windows?
It should show how this entry is handled...

terminal output

Jerome L suggested trying -nobreakpad, so I did:
austin@aw21 ~/.wine-dnf/drive_c/Program Files/Steam $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-dnf/
wine Steam.exe -login user pass -applaunch 57940 -nobreakpad

which gets the usual crash, then 'finishing installation', and the game
attempts to launch, this time giving a backtrace..though the crash is in the
game's executable :-.

profiling

Ran it from a network share from Linux under qemu/win7, which 'works' (pops up
an error about graphics not being sufficient, but the exe itself loads).

Under profiling, pops up an error dialog titled Kanuxe, with some Chinese
characters (not sure what it says, I don't read Mandarin ;-)).

I've attached the log up until that point, let me know if you'd like something
else :).

Hello,

I think you are mixing two issues in this bug, one with the steam version and
one with the patch.
Split these into separate bugs.
For the steam one provide relay log.

The bad import descriptor one (patched demo) needs relaxing in Wine loader.

I still have a crash with latest wine from GIT but no crash dialog shows up, it
crashes in d3ddrv.dll (which comes with DNF) and even when I install DirectX
9.x with winetricks. So far (after a new install and long download time ...) I
have installed these packages:

-----------------------------
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-dnf/ ./winetricks list-installed
corefonts
dinput8
gecko120
-----------------------------

The bug says:
-----------------------------
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x7da29a6
(thread 0009)
-----------------------------

I have also noticed that the "splash screen" (the one with the wavefy  American
flag in background) didn't disappear after the game tries to open another
OpenGL window. So it might not be Wine-related?

Hello folks,

resolving 'invalid'.

If you can point to an unmodified executable from a commercial app/game that
exhibits a similar problem with such malformed import descriptor(s) you might
reopen it.

No legitimate reason trying to support such stuff ... and to be honest - there
would be nothing to fix if these guys would have done their job correctly.
