unfortunately no.

The game bases on heavily modified Aurora engine.

It also uses the TAGES copy protection system, which installs device drivers.

I got confirmation from a few The Witcher users on the forum of the game (in
polish: http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=141.90)

Quote:

"While trying to run the game without Launcher (System/wither.exe), the game
tries to install security drivers (Tages), which does not succeed. Trying
manually to install the drivers (TagesSetup.exe from the CD) fails.
When I'm trying to install security drivers tages without admin privileges,
installator claims that I lack privileges. When I'm trying with admin rights,
installator crashes."

With Wine 0.9.49 the installation process works well!

Thanks to the updates in security systems it does not hang.

Game running through, suffers the same crash (attachment)

ntoskrnl patches

The 2 stubs I added prior to wine-0.9.49 allow the application installer to
complete without crashing, but it still doesn't install Tages. There are a
whole slew of unimplemented functions in ntoskrnl that Tages depends on. I've
added several stub functions, and implemented a couple(probably not up to par)
and right now it chokes on IoGetDeviceObjectPointer.

Do you think that Tages are blocking the game from being installed properly and
thus runnable?

I tried to launch The Witcher from System/witcher.exe instead of ./launcher.exe
(it looks very similar to NWN, NWN2).

Result:

gandalf@gandalf-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/WiedŸmin/System$ wine
witcher.exe 
err:module:import_dll Library d3dx9_35.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\Program
Files\Wied\0178min\System\witcher.exe" failed, status c0000135

I'll try to install the library

--- Comment #12 from Zbigniew Braniecki   2007-11-10 07:38:26 ---
Ok. So when I installed the missing d3dx9_35.dll and launched via
System/witcher.exe (launcher.exe still crashes with the same error)

The game launched and asked if I want to install TAGES (The drivers require
installation with administrator's account. Do you want to proceed now? Yes/No)

Yes: Unable to proceed (error 1450), next window: Insufficient privileges: you
must be an administrator when you run this application for the first time.

So it seems it's related to what you are working on. Did you attached the
patches that were NOT included in 0.9.49? Can I manually compile Wine and test
it? Do you want me to?

--- Comment #13 from EA Durbin   2007-11-10 08:54:19 ---
Yes the game requires tages to launch properly, and this is why it is crashing,
those patches are not in 0.9.49, I worked on them yesterday and that's where I
left off. Tages tries to load device drivers and ntoskrnl.exe is missing a
whole bunch of functionality. Tages wont' work until it's implemented,
currently with those patches it needs IoGetDeviceObjectPointer and
IoGetDeviceProperty to be implemented, then it will probably crash somewhere
else down the line.

Let me know when you'll want someone to try your patches or any other non

When I try to run wither.exe Wine complains about MSVCR80.dll (I think that the
previous ALSA error is irrelevant - it goes away when I turn off the sound
drivers):

poray@pececik [~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Witcher/System] $ wine witcher.exe

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\Program
Files\Witcher\System\witcher.exe" failed, status c0000142

Besides that I get a popup on Wine desktop saing that Microsoft Visual C++
library did not load correctly

I am not sure where I got that dll from. Most likely some other program
installed it as this is not created during a new wineprefix creation. To double
check I created another wineprefix and performed a clean installation of the
game. Then I copied  d3dx9_35.dll into windows/system32 and tried to launch
witcher.exe again. This time Wine complained about missing MSVCR80.dll and
MSVCP80.dll. After copying those into windows32/system I got the same error as
mentioned above. Possibly I have a wrong version of those dlls but I don't know
how to check that.

I am using Gentoo ~amd64 on Intel Core2 Quad (yeah, amd64 is the right arch for
Core2) and today's git version of wine.

Use

$ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ sh winetricks vcrun2005

To install Microsoft Visual C++ libraries (MSVCR80.dll, etc).

Game have to install those. Otherwise it will not work on older win versions.
You have to contact game developers with this problem.

This won't work. Those dlls can not be copied to system32 - they check which
directory they are in and refuse to load (have nothing to do with Wine).

Thank you Austin. The script you have mentioned does the trick. Now I am able
to run the game however not without a nocd patch - the Tages drivers still
refuse to work. Rendering quality is terrible but it is playable. I am going
post a detailed report and some screenshots tonight.

screenshot from Witcher 1.0 with Wine 0.9.49

I finally runned the game.

1) Install Witcher 1.0 from the CD
2) Install winetricks as mentioned in Comment 17
3) Put d3dx9_35.dll into windows/system32
4) Use (russian) no-cd patch for 1.0

The game runs, even on highest quality (!!!) and looks super-cool. Beside of
the characters. As presented on the screenshot, all characters are represented
as rag dolls. They do not move or animate, and some things, like swords, eyes,
jaws moves independently from those dolls. You can move around, and, look at
the shadow. Shadow is dynamic and animates perfectly, only the real character
is freezed.

I added this bug to Witcher 1.2 because the Tages issue occures there as well.
I can play the game with a NoCD-patch but there are no texts ingame... Maybe
because it's a russian crack.
When trying to install Tages it complains that I do not have admin rights. Of
course running it as root does not change anything.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky is affected to.

This is pretty sophisticated protection that uses two drivers. I was only able
to get to the point where one driver starts to look for another driver. This
won't work in current Wine ntoskrnl design where each driver uses separate
instance to run it.

The two drivers need to interact with each-other.

1701 A.D or ANNO1701 game is also affected by this problem due to TAGES copy
protection. The error behaviour is quite the same as reported by the preceding
person (P_Macko). Tested with Wine version 1.1.21 and the game patched to
version 1.04. If any further information is needed to fix the bug I would like

dont go far, Its the CopyProtection's problem (Tages) it doesnt see that it is
running with  Administrator privileges when it tries to install itself. It
proly

here's the problem program

http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm?page=minimum.htm (page)

http://www.tagesprotection.com/5.5/TagesSetup.exe (32bit)

http://www.tagesprotection.com/5.5/TagesSetup_x64.exe (64bit)

also the fun part is that it exits w/o any error (at the console) outputs
just a fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x32e0b4) using GetSystemInfo() hmmm

Hello,

it will be a long way until TAGES drivers really begin to talk. This requires a
considerable amount of additional infrastructure and rethought of current
design.
Many ntoskrnl API are just stubs - doing nothing.

One of the main problems is that Wine has to emulate the concept of "kernel"
address space vs. user address space mappings somehow (out-of-process context).

This specific failure is due to IoAllocateMdl() being a stub:

--- snip ---
0009:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileW(0032c61c
L"\\.\lirsgt",c0000000,00000000,00000000,00000003,40000000,00000000)

retval=c000009a
...
0009:Ret  KERNEL32.DeviceIoControl() retval=00000000 ret=00401c9a 
--- snip ---

The kernel driver receives a "usermode" pointer within a struct as
input to DeviceIoControl. To access the data from user pointer location, the
kernel driver has to map it into "kernel" space context.

It wouldn't be necessary to build a MDL if the kernel driver is the top level
driver invoked from the calling process context (via DeviceIoControl) which can
be read/written to directly -> ProbeForRead/Write, so I assume they went safe
way considering out-of-process context.

Within driver dispatch handler it basically does:

mdl = IoAllocateMdl(userBuf, userBufLen, FALSE, FALSE, NULL);
...
MmProbeAndLockPages(mdl, UserMode, IoWriteAccess);
...

See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa490866.aspx (IoAllocateMdl)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa489506.aspx (Using MDLs)

If you return an MDL, you also need a MmProbeAndLockPages() stub because the
driver tries to lock the virtual to physical mapping of the buffer.
After that you need MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache() because the driver wants the
user virtual address for the MDL...

To be honest: I wouldn't start with that stuff until there is proper
infrastructure and concept in Wine, supporting such address space manipulations
(e.g. "fake" user space vm address space mappings using special buffers which
trigger proper process memory reads/writes for the target process when being
accessed from kernel driver).

Well it's not just games that have this problem.  If you search the AppDB, you
will find this is the most common reason an installer fails.  Sometimes only
the download installer fails, sometime both.

While this is an obviously big consolidation bug, I doubt it is one "bug" so
much as several swarms.

A lot of them are in ntoskernl, but there are some quirk for quirk issues where
a quirk is used to identify that you have administrator authority.

In some other cases a program does something it shouldn't, but somehow should
be allowed to because it is run in administrator mode.

Ok major issue here this issue affects a lot of games of gamersgate with the
DRM Tages. The same stuff comes up as mentioned:

Quote:

"While trying to run the game without Launcher (System/wither.exe), the game
tries to install security drivers (Tages), which does not succeed. Trying
manually to install the drivers (TagesSetup.exe from the CD) fails.
When I'm trying to install security drivers tages without admin privileges,
installator claims that I lack privileges. When I'm trying with admin rights,
installator crashes."

Games affected just a few:

Aliens in the Attic
Sudoku Ball – Detective 
Vertigo
Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned 
Xyanide Resurrection
Building & Co
Obscure: The Aftermath
Prince of Persia The Sands of Time
Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific
Silent Hunter® III
Far Cry
Far Cry 2 Fortune Edition
Dawn of Discovery Gold Edition
Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard
Heroes of Might and Magic V Hammers of Fate
James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2
Assassin's Creed
Beyond Good & Evil
Cold Fear™

Hope we can make a priority one of it. Many thanks.

Make sure things don't get overseen. All kinda bugs getting closed as
duplicate. Tages main problem is the error:

Zbigniew Braniecki qoutes:
"the game tries to install security drivers (Tages), which does not succeed.
Trying manually to install the drivers (TagesSetup.exe from the CD) fails.
When I'm trying to install security drivers tages without admin privileges,
installator claims that I lack privileges. When I'm trying with admin rights,
installator crashes."

in short error on start up that you need to have administrator privilages to
start the game. And this is as well on DVD version as on Digital version of the
game.

That's a question for Focht. The initial bug very well may be, but there are
likely more issues before Tages works.

Hello folks,

refining summary to target the specific problem I discussed in comment #33 and
to avoid the "meta" bug status.

That stub was implemented with commit
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/5c65471681cad45c21fd80b8bb2...

Thanks Christian

The next problem is 'IoGetDeviceObjectPointer' stub.
Many (layered) drivers expect infrastructure that requires a redesign.
Kernel drivers must live in the same "kernel" address space to have for example
the same "view" of the service descriptor table and be able to access/hook it
directly.

Regards

Why this bug has been marked as resolved if a dependency has not been resolved?

Depends on: 23033

Hello Lara

Depends on: 23033
--- quote ---

Because this bug was started with some games that depend on bug 23033 but in
the end it turned out the relevant part can be reproduced/resolved without the
games.

The Tages driver/service tool
(http://www.tagesprotection.com/5.5/TagesSetup.exe) can be used stand-alone to
reproduce this problem and it doesn't depend on bug 23033

This bug became a meta-bug at one point which should be avoided because it
tends stay forever (and gets messed up at some point).

Removing dependency.
