------- Additional Comments From realill@gmail.com 2006-30-04 01:45 ------- Looks like problem with Etherlords 2 Demo has similar problem. 1) It throws exception from msvcrt.dll 2) It go thought this part with cedega (I didn't tried wine-20050111 but I'm sure it will work) 3) Using native msvcrt.dll solves the problem
Still Etherlords does not work because of this bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5145
Actually we do not know how much application affected by this bug. Now we see that some games does not work, but if because of this bug application gets incorrect filenames problem can appear anywhere. But may be it is not so bad :).
I think it is quite easy to understand problem tracking patches for msvcrt in broken version and taking in account that there is some filenames reading problems (or may be memory handling issue). Still, some one should do it.
