------- Additional Comments From Speeddymon@gmail.com 2005-10-05 21:54 ------- Ok. Now that we have 2 users reporting it. I happened to miss who it was making the posts.. lol And here's Damian! lmao ok..
Confirming per votes/multi-user report.
Basically, the notes above explain it, but a recap:
MM6 comes with the file mss32.dll compressed (like many executables do) using a program called shrinker. The game will not run until the program DeShrinker is run on that file. Once it is run, the game operates fine, with the exception of the other bugs currently reported.
If you are another user that has this issue, please try latest wine version. If that does not work, or you have it already, use the program attached to this bug to uncompress mss32.dll.
If any logs are needed, either of the users here could provide them with guidance on which winedebug strings are needed.
