Bug #: 30271 Summary: F.E.A.R.: License key can't be entered in installer Product: Wine Version: 1.4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: zarquon@t-online.de Classification: Unclassified
The license key is a sequence of 5 4-letter/digit sequences. As soon as there's a letter in one of the sequences (which should be true for pretty much all keys), you can only enter 3 characters in this sequence and therefore can't install the game. I also tried using an 8-bit locale (en_US.iso88591) rather than the default UTF-8 one, but that didn't make any difference. If you only enter digits, you can enter all 4 characters in each sequence. The latest release in the Wine 1.2-series (1.2.3, IIRC) only had this problem in the middle sequence. Since this is an installer problem, it will probably also manifest in other Sierra titles of that time (2005/2006).

--- Comment #2 from Andreas Dehmel zarquon@t-online.de 2012-03-27 14:31:05 CDT --- Yes, that fixed it, thanks. Since the linebreak is rather bad in your message, one should add there's a space in "...\Hardware Profiles...". Unfortunately the game seems completely broken ATM, but that's another bug...
