Summary: Magic the Gathering hangs when loading Shandalar Product: Wine Version: 20050211 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: glasse@rpi.edu
Using the 20050211 build of Wine from the Debian packages at http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/, I can't play Magic the Gathering. When I run Magic.exe, it runs OK, and I can select to enter Shandalar, but when I try to create a new character it hangs on "Generating Shandalar". I have a few save files from my girlfriend; when I load those, it hangs at the main screen (presumably loading/generating the map of Shandalar). It does this with the default registries and a config file of just:
[Version] "Windows"="winxp"
You can download the game via bittorrent at http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=1550 . It has all data compressed in a .uha archive (which is opaque to Linux, and wine can't run the Windows tool to extract), but I have an uncompressed copy if you need it. The [Version] section in ~/.wine/config is necessary because otherwise you get a stupid error message about "Dave's Extra Cool Timer". I can also provide save games.
