[Bug 21536] New: Windows Virtual Memory must be enabled to play some games

Summary: Windows Virtual Memory must be enabled to play some games Product: Wine Version: 1.1.37 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: xvachon@gmail.com

In current git (1.1.37), when I attempt to load Star Wars : The Force Unleashed, I get a message telling me that "Windows Virtual Memory must be enabled to play this game". My console output looks like this :

xavier@xavier-pc /wine/swtfu/drive_c/jeu $ wine "SWTFU.exe" err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} could be created for context 0x1 fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 53 (SPI_SETTOGGLEKEYS) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 51 (SPI_SETFILTERKEYS)

The current workaround is to add the contents of this file : http://www.tghost.co.uk/tmp/virtualmemory.reg to the registry.

According to the test report, Guitar Hero 3 has this bug too.

No swap

That's what "Windows Virtual Memory" is. Enable swap. Reopen if problem persists.

Wine reports memory size and swap size as-is. If you think it's not application's business to check for swap - tell that to application's developers.

Offhand, it looks like Wine needs to support that registry key.

Try downloading the attached file virtualmemory.reg and doing wine regedit virtualmemory.reg Does that help? (Found at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1192733.html since the original links are dead; I left out the RNG section as it seemed unrelated.)

Has anyone tried if it fixes this issue? AND if it does, any idea if it goes into wine anytime soon -that would be great.

I am currently installing the game from steam backup and trying to get it run.

I don't have any of the games listed here to test. I'll send it to wine-patches if someone verifies that it helps.

I just recently installed Star Wars the force unleashed 2, it has the same issue as earlier unleash.

So I exported the fix I had in 1 and imported into 2.

Here is pic of it.

It's really simple.

So basically someone could write patch according to it.

I don't know what that writewatch is...

I just recently installed this star wars game so there isn't patch in wine yet.

Here's a patch with it as a REG_SZ entry (I couldn't figure out how to get a multi_sz in a .inf file, any hints?).

Since no one tested this, I borrowed a copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed from a friend. I can reproduce the bug, and the patch does fix it.
