Bug ID: 45210 Summary: The Godfather: The Game crashes at start after EA logo and switching screen resolution Product: Wine Version: 3.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: o.dierick@piezo-forte.be Distribution: ---
Created attachment 61426 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=61426 default terminal output (wine 3.8)
I'm following up from comment 8 of bug 18078 here because it's not a duplicate.
Wine 3.8 in 32 bit prefix.
Movies are disabled by renaming movies folder.
Game starts, shows EA logo, switches screen resolution and then close.
The issue was already present for a long time but it was intermittent and the game could be started most of the time.
Since wine 3.8 it fails every time and the game cannot longer be started.

--- Comment #1 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Does "winetricks glsl=disabled" allow the game to continue?

Still fails with UseGLSL="disabled" in registry.

--- Comment #3 from mirh mirh@protonmail.ch --- The thing crashing when trying to play intro videos (*if* Windows version is set >XP) is totally legit and accurate behavior for wine. See https://cookieplmonster.github.io/2018/05/18/fixing-the-godfather.html
If instead you are using XP, then that is actually a bug.

The thing crashing when trying to play intro videos (*if* Windows version is set >XP) is totally legit and accurate behavior for wine. See https://cookieplmonster.github.io/2018/05/18/fixing-the-godfather.html

The movie folder is renamed and I'm using XP mode.
The game crashes after the "EA logo" and before the copyright screen. The intro movies are played after the copyright screen.
It's NOT the movie bug.
It ran fine without the movies for years. I can't recall what was the last "known good" version of Wine. It was way before 3.0, maybe around the 1.7.* versions. I'll make a regression test if necessary.
Note: The SilentPatchGF doesn't work but don't discuss it here: It's a separate issue.
