Backtrace

I am currently trying to run Battlefield Vietnam using Wine 0.9.44 and Fedora
7.

It is patched to the newest version, 1.21. When running the normal game,
nothing appears. When having the .exe patched to not use a CD, the following
debug output appears:

Please tell me which further information you need to fix the issue.

Has it worked on older Wine versions?
Last time here it worked in 0.9.30 this is to know if this is regression.
Also try using fresh ~/.wine and you could see if it's the Fedora strict
security settings breaking this.

Sorry, I have not tried Battlefield Vietnam before with an older Wine version.
I already installed it on a fresh ~/.wine directory.

I do not get messages that SELinux blocks it, so I do not think that some
security policy prevents it from working.

just tested on latest Wine Git(0.9.44-379-g82ef8d7) and no problems here... you
could add more info how to reproduce this bug and what hardware was used.

I use a fairly default setup using AMD Sempron 3000+ and a GeForce 6800.

Maybe we can meet up in IRC to find out what the difference of our setups is.

It *could* also be the case that the No CD patch is buggy, but I tried three
ones or so so I do not think that this is the case.

Are you in Wine IRC?

yes I usually are in Wine IRC.

and I use GeForce 6600 GT, AMD Athlon XP 3000+, and Gentoo X86

and one more thing I disabled movies that are played when game starts.

i moved the Movies directory to Movies_, but it did not help it :(

Also, before Wine crashes, I get a black screen for a short time. Then the
winedebugger starts.

You could try starting the X with 16bit colors... anyway I can't test this
anymore before nVidia drivers updates to support Xorg 7.3

hm, setting x to "thousands of colors" (16 bit) did not change anything..

Just noting, it may be possible that the NOCD crack itself does not work and
that Wine crashes because of Safedisc.

Yeah, the one I found against 1.21 does not work. I am now going to reinstall
the game to 1.0 and search a patch for it.

the line that you have before crash next line after that line here is this ..
and then it works normally.
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetAvailableTextureMem (0x126270) : stub,
simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB left

so place where crash happens is between those two lines.

anyway could be that it crash before d3d or with some d3d related stuff.
other than that you would need to do new debug current one is quite useless.

WINEDEBUG=+d3d output

okay, this is the output when using WINEDEBUG=+d3d. Does not seem usable to me.
Are there any debug options that may be reasonable? I ran WINEDEBUG=+all, but
it created a file of 300 MB size. Please let me know if you need that.

Thanks for your help.

BfVietnam trace - no suitable gfx mode found

Hello,

I can confirm dx9/d3d problems.
While testing targets for my SafeDisc 2.x patches I came across this one.
The problems have nothing to do with game copy protection (works nice btw).

Attached is trace made with:

WINEDEBUG=+seh,+tid,+d3d,+d3d9,+debugstr

There is a debug version of BF Vietnam for mod developers which emits a bit
more info.
The release version (/w official patch 1.21) shows same behavior before crash.

In debug version case, an assertation pops up which claims:

--- snip ---
C:\dice\trunk\engine\RendPCDX8\PCDX8RendererInit.cpp(809): Assert: RendPCDX8:
(0) Cannot enter a normal 800x600 video mode, trying 640x480!
--- snip ---

Apparently no suitable gfx mode is found.
FYI: Battlefield 1942 and mods (RtR) work fine in this wine configuration.

Hello,

I found a solution ;-)
Battlefield Vietnam seems to be too strict regarding reported vs. required
screen refresh rates.
Edit the following file:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield
Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\settings\VideoDefault.con"

and change/add the following:

"renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1"

Save. Now the game starts successfully.
For true windowed mode you might set "renderer.FullScreen" to "1" too.
For some nice in-game stats (performance, engine) use "console.showStats 1"

Regards

PS: the original BF Vietnam soundtracks are nice ;-)

Is this still an issue in current (1.0-rc4 or newer) wine?

Hello,

I suggest to close this one.
This problem is something wine can't fix.

Workarounds have been documented in appdb entry (virtual desktop or
"renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1").
The refresh rate issue is also present in Windows and
"renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1" fixes the problem there too (in most cases).
