[Bug 20846] New: Sanitarium crashes if not launched from its directory

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20846

Summary: Sanitarium crashes if not launched from its directory
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Created an attachment (id=24977)

Log showing the crash

First of all, I set the priority to the lowest level because running the game
from its directory don't make the game crashing.

Then, I have to say that I compiled wine yesterday (so it's the latest).

Before bad news, I want to say that the '-w' option now works perfectly (the
game stay in the window and do not go back to (0,0) px )

I don't know if I have to provide steps how to reproduce the bug as the summary
of it is (I think) enough explicit.

But don't hesitate to tell me what you need.

Thanks

Does the application behave the same way on Windows? If so, this bug is
invalid.

What do you mean ?

The game launches and runs perfectly if we start it from its directory.
Don't you see the log ?

I made :
> > wine --version

wine-1.1.33-blabla
> > wine /path/to/the/game

*crashing*
> > cd /path/to/the/game
> > wine Sntrm.exe

*all is ok, I clicked "Exit" on the screen, the game closed normally*

I didn't tried on Windows but as he works well when I cd to the correct
location, I wonder why I should test it on Windows.

But if you want me to test it on Windows, I can do it now.

I think that makes this bug invalid since the recommended wayto start the
programs is to cd to their location first.

This bug is not very important but I think it's still a bug.

Unfortunately, launching the game from VirtualBox makes it crashing.
I think it's because my video card is not yet supported (software rendering).

But I guess it should run fine from the command line (cmd.exe) whatever is the
current 'working directory'.

It's a bug in the application. The same thing will likely happen on windows. If
not, feel free to reopen.

Don't guess, test it with something like:
c:
cd \
c:\full\path\to\program.exe

Many Windows programs will fail (on Windows too) if started that way. Lots of
programmers don't know rhe fact that double-clicking on an executable in
explorer changes current working directory to the directory with the file.
