Crash messages (run the game two times)

The game Hearts of Iron 2 platinum release (contains "Doomsday" and
"Armageddon" addons) crashes randomly. It happens mostly when zooming the map
in/out and scrolling it, but it also happens spontaneously if you just leave
the game running for a few minutes. I can easily reproduce the problem with
"Barbarossa" scenario (playing German forces) - just zoom in/out & scroll the
map a lot as soon as the game starts, until it crashes.

It always crashes with similar output, just register contents differ - see
attachment.

I find that the game crashes more easily if you have the "Use counters" option
enabled.

You're right. Moreover, I think it is actually related to "use counters"
option. As soon as I set it, the game crashes. If it is set when the game is
started, then it crashes when zooming/scrolling the map.

With "use counters" set to "off" the game runs fine for me (tested for 1-2
hours gameplay).

This is still a problem with wine-1.1.21.

I had similiar crash all the time when I zoomed out from smallest zoom, and  
use counters were set too. But I was able to bypass it .. just set in user.reg
file:
[Software\Wine\Direct3D] 
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"

And as if I waved magic wand: crashes were gone.
BTW I had those crashes in all wine wersions starting from 1.0(stable wersion)
to 
present 1.1.23

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 8
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.40 or newer) wine?

Yes, exactly the same issues (crash when zooming and random crashes).

I configured the DirectDrawRenderer key with no success, using wine 1.1.41.

The crash still appears in wine 1.1.43 (dbg too). However, "winetricks d3dx9"
combined with the DirectDrawRenderer fix seems to solve it for me.

Caveat: before purging wine and reinstalling it (file system purge, not just
apt-get) I also saw the crash. There might be something in the winetricks
toolbox that can provoke this with .43 too. I did a lot of stuff a few days ago
to try to get Steam to survive for more than a few seconds at a time and one of
the tweaks might've done something to harm HoI2.

Crash dump attached FWIW.

i get this bug too, and i have a savegame that crashes reliably one hour (one
turn in the game) after loading, i tried to get a WINEDEBUG=+all trace, but
after 10 minutes i gave up, as nothing more happended. Can someone maybe point
me in the direction of the needed trace, so that i can deliver it.

Does the crash happen with the demo

?

I can't get it to misbehave with Wine 1.2.3, even if I remove the entire
subtree HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D. However, the demo looks quite a bit
different than the game. The sizes of stacks are not shown in the Counter-view
and only a very small subset of the map is used. Scrolling can never take the
view away from the initial square. I don't know how accurate the demo is as
test...

Thanks for the follow-up. I hoped that this would give a developer the chance
to reproduce the bug.

No update for 900 days. Is this still an issue in 1.5.28 or higher or should
this be closed as abandoned ?

No reply to last 2 reminders, no download, over 1 year without new useful
posts. Resolving abandoned, if anyone is still able to reproduce feel free to
reopen.
