Bug #: 34195
           Summary: Starcraft II - doesn't start since patch 2.0.10
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Console output

Starcraft II has always worked fine for me, but since the latest patch 2.0.10,
it just fails to start. I see up to the login screen, then crashes, and I'm
greeted with the Blizzard error report tool.

It's either that, or the newest version of wine (1.6), those are the only two
things that have changed AFAIK.

For what it's worth, it still seems to work fine for me, although this isn't an
entirely clean WINEPREFIX.

I tried on v1.5.31 (plus a couple of bison build fixes), still the same.

Henri Verbeet, can you try with a clean prefix? You don't need to reinstall
StarCraft II; you can run the .exe from anywhere.

That doesn't help at all. You need to install the application correctly for it
to work correctly.

Definitely NOT major.

So try it in a version that worked. If it works then it's a regression.

It works correctly. It has always worked correctly, both in Linux, and in
Windows.

So what do you call a bug that makes a game totally unusable? More
specifically, one of the most popular games of all time.

As I already said, I already did. It's not a regression, it's triggered by the
latest version.

Yeah, that works as well here.

I don't see anything obvious in the log. Do you get a good backtrace from the
game? There should be crash dumps under ~/StarCraft II/GameLogs/, unless you
changed the desktop integration link for "My Documents".

It doesn't seem that way.

Anyway, I had the feeling the crash happened when connecting to Battle.net, and
the stack trace above seems to agree with that, so I started the game without
Internet access and there's no crash. The screen kept flickering to black the
whole time, but there was no crash.

BTW. I tried to run the installer in a clean prefix, and after 6% of the
download you can run the game, I click PLAY, and it crashes just the same.

I found the problem; it's the latest Linux kernel; v3.10 works fine, but
v3.11-rcX doesn't.

I bisected the issue:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f...

So I revert that patch and there's no crash.

However, there's still the problem that the screen flicks black. It appears to
happen each time I move the mouse.

UPSTREAM then.

Fixed upstream.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3...

Given how quickly the commit has been reverted, it is unlikely to have any
effect in the wild.

I think that's a bit uncalled for. Arguably the way severity works in Wine's
bugzilla is a bit unintuitive for some people because it's intended to be set
from Wine's point of view instead of the application's. I think the issue comes
up often enough to call it a common mistake, but that's not a reason to be rude
about it. Quite the contrary, I'd argue.

Agreed. Suggestions on how to reduce that mistake are welcome, of course. But
no need to reprimand somewhat for what was a valid bug report, albeit in the
wrong place (which wasn't immediately obvious).
