           Summary: The ddraw.dll library in the game Gothic2 stopped
                    loading (with the DX11 render)
           Product: Wine-staging

The ddraw.dll library in the game Gothic2 stopped loading (with the DX11
render)

Hello.

After updating wine to version 5.6, the DDRAW.dll library stopped loading
When the game starts, the following messages are displayed:
0009: err: module: LdrInitializeThunk "DDRAW.dll" failed to initialize,
aborting
0009: err: module: LdrInitializeThunk Initializing dlls for L "D: \ Gothic II
\ System \ Gothic2.exe" failed, status c0000005

On previous versions, younger than 5.6 (5.5, 5.4 ....), the game was loaded
without errors.
After updating wine to version 5.7, the error remained (not fixed).
All versions of wine that I have specified have the "staging" modification.
Gothic2 game has version 2.6 with DX11 render
Without DX11 rendering, the game starts normally (DX9 is used)

Under windows 7 or 10, the game starts normally (with DX11).
Under windows, to disable the DX11 rendering, just rename the ddraw.dll file in
the SYSTEM directory (I mean the game directory)
Under linux, to enable DX11, add the download of the external ddraw.dll:
winecfg -> Applications (add Gothic2.exe) -> Libraries (add ddraw.dll)
or run the game with the key:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES = dxgi, d3d11, ddraw = n, b

example of a game launch line:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES = dxgi, d3d11, ddraw = n, b DXVK_HUD = gpuload, memory wine
./Gothic2.exe

I am using 64-bit prefix.

The following libraries are also added for sound functioning:

dmband.dll
dmcompos.dll
dmime.dll
dmloader.dll
dmstyle.dll
dmsynth.dll
dmusic.dll
dsound.dll

these are native libraries taken from the system32 directory of windows xp (32
bit)
If required, then the link for downloading the libraries used in my prefix:
https: // drive.
google.com/open?id=1-Nr0ThkEYgFSDQRFHcCMDvSKPMItta7v

The game is physically located on the ntfs section mounted in the home
directory, therefore, file permissions may look a little strange.
Dxvk version 1.6.1 is installed in the prefix (.wine)

My operating system:
System: Host: alex-pc Kernel: 5.3.0-42-

Is this "ddraw.dll" shipped by the application, or installed from a third-party
source?

DXVK is not supported in this bug tracker. Please test with builtin d3d
libraries, or report this bug to DXVK.

Yes, I am aware that dxvk errors are not dealt with here.
The fact is that ddraw.dll stopped loading after updating wine-staging from
version 5.5 to version 5.6
 and also does not load in version 5.7, and not after updating dxvk.
When I had version 5.5 of wine, I had to use alternately to find the winepath
error
several versions of dxvk: 1
.6.1; 1.6; 1.5.5; 1.5.4; 1.5.3
With any of these versions of dxvk, the ddraw.dll library loaded successfully.
After updating wine-staging, ddraw.dll does not load with any of these dxvk
versions.
I understand that my ddraw.dll library is produced by a third party and is not
standard.
I just want to draw your attention to the fact
that this library loaded fine earlier
and it boots without any problems under Windows (7 or 10 no difference) at the
current time.
Based on this, I conclude that the problem is precisely in wine-staging weight>
5.5

While updating Wine from 5.6 to 5.7 without changing DXVK or this third-party
ddraw.dll may introduce a crash, that does not necessarily mean that the bug is
in Wine.

If this bug can be reproduced with Wine's builtin d3d implementation, it can be
considered valid. Otherwise, without further information as to why the crash
occurs, we have no way of knowing.

--- Comment #4 from sohatok  ---
At the time of updating wine from version 5.5 to version 5.6, neither dxvk nor
ddraw.dll (third-party) were changed.
Maybe I didn’t understand you correctly, but if:
1) with the version of wine .... 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 the ddraw.dll library loaded
normally with any version of dxvk;
2) with the version wine 5.6 and 5.7, the ddraw.dll library does not load with
any version of dxvk
then the problem is in wine.

Hello,

Thanks for the advice, I did not think that this can be perceived as a
distribution.
Deleted all links (as well as the files themselves).
They were not provided for distribution, but for the ability to reproduce the
error in the environment where it occurred.

Good luck

Hello,

I installed Steam and Gothic 2 in a clean 32-bit wineprefix with wine 5.7.

There is no issue that I could notice. Well, maybe those that are documented in
the appdb (no music and non-us keyboard layout), but I'm not familiar with the
game so I didn't notice until I read about them.

The application doesn't ship ddraw.dll.

Where did you get the ddraw.dll? Is it part of a mod?

Regards.

I can reproduce the problem in Wine-Staging 5.6. and 5.7:
> > 0009:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "DDRAW.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
> > 0009:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Initializing dlls for L"C:\GOG Games\Gothic 2 Gold\system\Gothic2.exe" failed, status c0000005

It works in current Staging-git though (wine-5.7-170-gd1f858e03da).

The "ddraw.dll" in question is indeed part of a fan-made mod which makes use of
D3D11 in this old game:
https://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1502591-D3D11-Renderer-f%C3%BC...
It needs to be set to "native,builtin" otherwise the mod is not enabled and the
game starts with the original DX8 renderer.

The problem is (was) also present with wined3d, it's not a DXVK-specific issue.

Hello,

Thanks for the hint.

I followed the instructions for the mod(s) and installed:
- Gothic 2 fix 2.6.0.0 rev2;
- Gothic 2 PlayerKit 2.8;
- Gothic 2 night of the raven systempack 1.8;
- Gothic d3d11 X17.1.
All installers went smooth.
Then set ddraw to native,builtin in winecfg.

On first launch, the gd3d11 mod wants to install X17.4.
I let it do and when it was done the game failed with an error dialog about
missing GD3D11 folder.

After reading [1], the error was fixed by making a symbolic link.
[1] https://steamcommunity.com/app/39510/discussions/0/2132869574269911431/

After that, the error was gone, but the game fails to start anyway:
When launched, a few dbghelp errors are printed and then it get stuck forever
consuming 100% of one core until I kill Gothic2.exe.

However, the Log.txt file in Gothic II/system says that the ddraw proxy was
loaded.

This test was done with Wine 5.7 (release tag) + commit
c3fac6e36caab168974dd04a60ae1bbb1a0fd919 (nitpicked from GIT to workaround bug
49011).

So, I guess the DLL loading crash is in fact bug 49011 which is fixed in GIT
since a few days.

Please retest with current GIT.

Regards.

Hello Olivier,

I followed the steps you described to install the mod, but with the GOG.com
version.
I also had to install native d3dx11_43.dll with winetricks to launch the mod
successfully.

I can confirm that the mod is working fine in Wine-Staging git version.

Regards.

Hello everybody!

Thank you very much for your attention to this problem.
Mod "Return 2.0" breathed new life into my favorite game.

There is an easier way to install a fan mod:
here on this page:
https://rpgrussia.com/threads/ssylki-na-sborku-instrukcija-po-ustanovke-0066...
There is a link to Modification "Return 2.
0 "build (0066) R2:
Torrent File: View Attachment Gothic-II-Returning.torrent

this image has an installer in which all patches are assembled together
and all the required programs can be launched from the installation wizard
(including render X17.5).

This mod is distributed freely.

I currently have wine staging 5.8 installed.
I really managed to run the current render (X17.5), but only under the 32-bit
prefix.
When using the 64-bit prefix ddraw.dll refuses to start.

The render is quite working: G2D3D11_V21.zip
http://worldofplayers.ru/threads/37471/page-4#post-781722
But it is very old (something like X17.1)

Regards.
