Bug ID: 41135
           Summary: No Man's Sky: Game does crash/hang on starting
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.16
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Terminal output (Windows 7)

After solving the other issue where an upgrade of libcups2 caused Wine to
heavily break I'm encountering now the next issues on starting No Man's Sky.
With a clean wine profile and the Windows version set to Windows 7 (as the
system requirement for this game is Windows 7-10) on starting the game nothing
happens and the game has a CPU usage of ~55% on one core and the wineserver has
a CPU usage of ~60% on one core. If I'm setting the Windows version to Windows
XP the game does start but crashes after the first screen is shown. For both
cases is the terminal output in the attachments.

Does your processor support the SSE4.1 instruction set? I've been reading
various forums and such and it seems like the game will crash after the first
screen or so if your processor does not support SSE4.1.

Your assumption is right as my processor is an AMD Phenom II X6 1045T which
does not support SSE4.1 (but SSE4a).

That's an issue with your CPU and the game, not Wine.

Latest official patches add support for AMD Phenoms now.

The crash is indeed fixed after upgrading the game but the hanging on starting
it if setting Wine to Windows 7 does still exist. I remember on trying this
with the staged version of Wine 1.9.16 the game started at least until the
startscreen with Wine set to Windows XP or Windows 7 without hanging. Now after
upgrading Wine to version 1.9.17 (unstaged) the game hangs no matter if Wine is
set to Windows XP or Windows 7.

Strange, because I have to revert the commit in this bug
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41189 in order to even run the game in
Wine 1.9.17.

Edit: I wonder if the hanging now with Wine 1.9.17 is the same issue as bug
#41189. If yes it would be interesting to know if Wine still hangs (especially
if set to Windows 7) after it is fixed.

If you know how to run a regression test, you should be able to see this for
yourself :) Just set Wine 1.9.16 as the "good" wine and Wine 1.9.17 as the
"bad" wine.

In any case, for me, the game would simply hang if I attempted to run it in
Windows 7 mode in Wine 1.9.16 but would run in WinXP mode.

Did you revert the patch and compile from the unstaged tree? If yes can you
start the game if Wine is set to Windows 7?

Yes, I reverted the patch and as for Windows 7 mode, I have left a terminal
windows running for 30 minutes before and the game would not start in Windows 7
mode. In WinXP mode, I get to the Hello Games logo in about 2 minutes.

Even though the regression for my bug was fixed, the game still does not start
when Wine is set to Windows 7 mode.

Hi,

I haven't had the time to test this yeet on my own but does the game still hang
on start in Windows 7 mode for you after the recent Pathfinder update?

I don't have the game anymore so somebody else needs to test this.

I tested this myself and in Wine Staging 2.3 the game runs just fine, no
hanging anymore in Windows 7 mode.

Will test regular Wine 2.3 in a bit.

Confirming in Wine 2.3. Setting XP allows game to start as expected.

If that truly is the case that would mean that wine-staging has a patch or
workaround that isnt merged upstream that would fix this bug on both wine
versions. It would helpful to figure out what patch(es) is needed, but it can
be quite a burden to test it.

Wine 2.14 terminal output

I just tried the latest GOG version of No Man's Sky (version 1.31 AKA the Atlas
Rising update) and in regular Wine 2.14 the game still does not launch when
Wine is set to Windows 7 mode. If I set it to Windows XP mode, everything works
fine.

The terminal output is not all that helpful, at least to me, but I've attached
it anyways.

Hardware info:

Nvidia GTX 970 
Driver version 384.59

Works fine set to Windows 7 for me (pretty sure my 64bit prefix has always been
set to Windows 7 which means the game worked on release too).

Can anyone else confirm that they're actually seeing this issue?

Does the bug still occur with wine-6.5?
