------- Additional Comments From stefandoesinger@gmx.at 2005-07-10 04:43 ------- The game does not work (yet), I am working on it. But I can't confirm this bug, it seems to be solved in todays wine. Should we set the bug to WORKSFORME??
From the log it looks like something went wrong, Empire Earth detected it and
tries to display the msvc runtime error dialog box. But at this point DirectDraw is set up allready and no GDI message boxes may be displayed. I have reproduced such a behavior in Windows: If there's no soundcard, Empire Earth tries to exit with such a dialog box after DDraw is initialised. In Windows, it simply crashes, and so it does in Wine in fullscreen mode. If the game is run in a desktop mode, it successfully displays the dialog box and exits cleanly.
