Bug ID: 44766
           Summary: American McGee's Alice - Doesn't start (Probably due
                    to Copy-Protection)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.4
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: obfuscation
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: dark.shadow4@web.de
        Depends on: 44765
      Distribution: ---
The game can be installed (working around bug 44765), but it can't be started.
When running "alice.exe" nothing happens and the process just terminates.
When copying the installed game's contents into a Win7 VM, and then running it
there, it complains about a missing CD (as expected). Bu under wine, this check
doesn't seem to happen, the program just closes. I guess it can't load the copy
protection properly.
When using a no-CD patch, the game starts up fine and can be played. But that's
hardly a solution.
ProtectionID says the game uses Safedisc v2.05.030. Debugger won't work
properly due to the nature of the games copy protection.
