[Bug 13154] New: Jedi Academy: launcher freezes when button clicked

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13154

Summary: Jedi Academy: launcher freezes when button clicked
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The launcher of Lucasart's Jedi Academy freezes as soon as a button is clicked.
The button doesn't matter: install and exit are equally affected.
When the application is frozen, it is completely unresponsive, doesn't repaint,
and takes 0% CPU. It is killable with the command "killall JediAcademy.exe".
Once the application is killed, the wine processes exit gracefully after a few
seconds.
This bugs happens also with the launcher of Jedi Outcast (which seems to be
roughly the same application). It may affect other launchers of Lucasart games
(not tested).

This bug happens every time.

Is there any output on the console? If so, please attach it.

Console output

This is the console output of the launcher before it freezes. Because the
process detaches from the console, it is obtained by redirecting standard
error.

I can confirm this bug when running Ubuntu Gutsy AMD64 and the latest git as of
today. I would have reported it earlier but I can't bisect because the last
Wine version that worked for me was 0.9.61 with the four patches that stopped
the MS Office 2003 installation crash, and bisect doesn't seem to work
correctly if I apply patches.

However, there have always been problems with this games launcher.

The missing "HOVER" file it's complaining about is an audio file
(~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
Demo/Install/hover.WAV), which actually exists, but must be renamed to "HOVER".
If you did this, and used OSS audio, the game used to work correctly.

However, now the launcher either freezes, or simply disappears without any
messages when you press a button.

In any case, I'm having a lot of problems with rc1 and all my games, from Jedi
Academy to all my Half-Life Steam games (the introduction videos are blank), as
well as a blank start up screen for Call of Duty 2. However, as I said before I
can't bisect because of the patches I need to apply. If someone knows how to
bisect with patches please let me know and I'll run regression tests on the
problems I'm having with rc1. There are a lot of them, and some are
unfortunately even intermittent.

My relevant hardware:
Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI (nForce 4 based) motherboard
Athlon64 X2 4200+ CPU
Nvidia 7800GT Video card running standard driver version 100.14.19
3GB DDR DRAM

Jedi Academy Demo launcher crash output

I just did a clean wineprefix and installed Jedi Academy Demo without going
through my usual DLL setup procedure and I got a lot of good crash output. I
hope this helps.

You can download it from:
http://www.fileplanet.com/129982/120000/fileinfo/Star-Wars-Jedi-Knight:-Jedi...

Also, as of yesterdays git I was able to set the sound to ALSA and the game now
runs without crashing, but the hover sounds don't play, and the "HOVER" error
is still displayed.

I also discovered that it stopped working at the latest in 0.9.60, and I think
it used to work in 0.9.59 (if you renamed the "hover.WAV" file to "HOVER") so
I'll try to bisect the patch that made it start crashing.

However, this won't tell us why it's looking for "HOVER" instead of
"hover.WAV". It sounds like both a filename case and extension parsing error of
some type. But I'm not a developer so I will leave it to greater minds than
mine to figure it out ... :)

Jedi Academy Demo "Hover" crash report

Well, I did the best I could but it turns out that this problem has gotten
progressively more random. I detailed what I found in the attached report.

The good news is that as of todays git if you set the sound to ALSA the game
won't crash (at least for me), you just won't hear the hover sound.

I have tried with the new 1.0-rc2 release, and the launcher doesn't freeze
anymore. The "hover" problem still exist though, but this is barely a concern I
must say ;-)

Marking this fixed. If you feel strongly about the hover issue, please file a
separate bug.
