Summary: Rollercoaster Tycoon unhandled exception Product: Wine Version: 20050310 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: piotrwozniak0@wp.pl
The problem is as follows: RCT 1 (polish lang. version, seems unsupported by the vendor?), unpatched version (AFAIK, patch for this ver doesn't exist) doesn't install and doesn't run. I got around the installation problem by installing it on another computer with win'98 installed and copying the installed files on a cd, then onto my laptop (the perpetrator of this bug). It's impossible to install it properly on the laptop since it "Can't copy files". When I try to run the rct.exe file, it asks for the cdrom, and when the correct path is entered the screen goes garbled for a moment (see footnote 1) and then it crashes with this error: "Exception raised - access violation. Error location: Unknown" - NB, wine exits with 'a successful status'.
Footnote 1: 'He who upgrades does not always win..." - my laptop is too new, and I can't get a working graphics chipset driver for linux, so graphics from other games gets mangled also. OpenGL *sometimes* works though.
Missing info: The computer is a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro v2030 laptop, running Knoppix 4.0 (hd-install) - so essentially it's Debian testing/unstable. Proper graphics card drivers missing (see footnote 1). Can't upgrade Wine since it (apt-get / synaptics pkg mgr) wants to remove most of my system, including the whole KDE (which I use) and kernel (!!!). Building from source doesn't work either, so I'm stuck with this version.
