------- Additional Comments From xerox_xerox2000@yahoo.co.uk 2006-10-02 12:34 ------- i just tried this with Wine 20050628. A clean install of Wizardy and no config file:unlike as reported here the bug _is_ present in this version. Now i copy a native msvcrt to the directory where the game is installed: the bug is gone, which is clear as i see: trace:loaddll:load_native_dll Loaded module L"C:\Program Files\Sirtech Canada, Ltd\Wizardry 8 Net Demo\MSVCRT.dll" : native
doing: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcrt=b" wine Wiz8.EXE triggers the bug again.
so the patch that "broke" this game didn't really break it; it was already broken in earlier versions.
