[Bug 12085] New: cannot load log file - AOM

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12085

Summary: cannot load log file - AOM
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.57.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When I attempt to start the M$ Age of Mythology game (Gold Edition) I get an
error message that says: "Cannot create log file, please make sure that you
have full rights on the directory that you installed Age of Mythology into, and
that you have available disk space. Error access denied."

Things I've tried:
* winecfg to set windows version to windowsxp / windows 2000, etc. to no avail.
* made sure write permissions to entire /home/user/.wine directory
* clean install .. no previous wine version
* used original and cracked aomx.exe
* ran wine with 'strace' and did not see any file opens that failed
* Downloaded and attempted to run the m$ "AOM Trial"
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/7/8/4785f001-bec0-44c3-8adb-5bb5f8f...)
when I start the trial, my entire X windows (GDM) restarts.

Any help resolving this issue is appreciated.  If you need any logs, etc.
please let me know.

I have seen this error posted in several places (e.g., Ubuntu forum), but no
solution or "things to try".

Does this prevent the game from starting?

Did you move aside your old ~/.wine directory as well?

This is probably due to a buggy video driver.

maybe a +file log: WINEDEBUG=+file wine aom.exe > aom_log.txt 2>&1

Severity is not major, please read the descriptions more carefully.

Yes.  The modal dialog box appears and the game ends when "ok" is selected
(only button choice).

Of course. :)

See below - I believe it is differences between i686 and amd64 distros.

It took a while (the reason for delay in responding to your questions), but I
created the exact same setup (same deb packages) on a i686 debian distro
version (vs. amd64) and the AOM trial version WORKS as expected (although I
have mouse issues - but that's a different problem).  I used the same computer
with different disk drive, to eliminate any hardware differences (I have an
Intel chipset that can run as 32bit or 64bit). Thus, I'm fairly convinced that
differences between the distros are the issues.

For Xorg:
X Window System Version 1.3.0
Release Date: 19 April 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3
Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12lenny2)

I use the on-board graphics controller:
(--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller
rev 2, Mem @ 0xfdf00000/19, 0xd0000000/28, 0xfdf80000/18, I/O @ 0xff00/3

I'll post a log file.

Ok.

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I'd like to get the AOMTrial working, then come back to the issue with the
"real" AOM Gold Edition.

Is this still a problem in current (1.1.6 or newer) wine?

The demo works fine for me.  Can you test to see if it also has the problem for
you?

Abandoned. If you still have a problem in current (1.1.22 or newer) wine and
can provide the requested information, feel free to reopen.
