Bug ID: 57431
           Summary: Links 2003 Crashes
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Environment

Linux Mint 21.3  Wine Version: 9.21  Links version: 2003 1.07

Links requires WMP9 to be installed.

I am seeing a crash on approximately 40% of the courses in my test subset,
usually accompanied by some incorrect rendering of what are water textures,
i.e. water with reflections.

The address is consistent I am repeatedly seeing the Address 69defc in the
dumps

The crashes are repeatable but not always in exactly the same place during the
game. Crashes are seen on two different machines across 3 different GPUs

Initial crash screen shows:

Appname: linksmmiii.exe  AppVer: 22.10.2.41  Modename: linksmmiii.exe

ModVer: 22.10.2.41  Offset:  0029defc

Exception Information:

Code: 0xc0000005  Flags:0x00000000

Record 0x0000000000000000  Address: 0x000000000069defc

Followed by System info and modules listing.

I can stop the crashes by using some Wrapper programs, specifically dgVooDoo
seems to be the best, but that does seem to lead to other issues like video
performance.

Further investigation has uncovered that a patch for Nvidia HBAs that also
incorporates a fix for courses crashing when they contain reflective water
somewhere on them.

I have done some testing with Wine 10 rc1 and am not seeing any crashes todate.

I have seen a hang. Links screen freezes and process has to be killed from
another desktop process.

So far this is only on a notebook using the embedded Intel 620 GPU, system is
not giving me any info. A workaround appears to be to limit the Wine
VideoMemorySize to 128MB

A cursory test on a desktop with an Nvidia GT640 HBA with 2MB video memory with
Wine set to this does not appear to have the problem.
