Soul reaver 2 will no longer start with wine 0.9.49.

The italien version of the game was working with 0.9.48, i no longer have this
to test, but i bought the english version and now it will not start up without
any error messages on wine 0.9.49. It does install though.

I'm on kubuntu 7.10, amd64, and a gefroce 8600 gts.

Have you tried a NoCD patch? That is the usual reason something doesn't open
and gives no error messages.

I have tried a no cd patch for version 1.0, but i cant find any on
gameburnworld, gamefix or gamecopy world for any other english versions. The
italien version worked without any no-cd patch.

Full version of Soul Reaver 2 (English version) does start for me without
problems (with current git). Try this:

mv ~/.wine{,.backup}
wine setup.exe
cd ~/.wine/Games/Soul\ Reaver\ 2/
wine sr2.exe

Does this help?

Don't know do I have nocd crack installed or not (because my brother installed
the game not I) but game works without CD for me.

Do a regression testing as described here:

I cant do regression testing but i suspect it has to do with some mess ups in
my registry that i have no clue how to fix. If i try from a fresh .wine
directory, it installs fine and starts to run but nomatter how many no-cd
patches i try it claims I need to insert the original cd.

If i put back my old wine directory again and reinstall, it acts the same as
before, no errors, nothing starts. any ideas on why it would be messed up with
my old .wine directory or how to fix it. I cant install everything i had in my
old wine directory without devoting a day or 2 to it.. :'

Invalid.
If you messed up registry this is not Wine bug.

I figured today I would try to tackle the registry issue by using diffs from a
reg export of a fresh .wine directory and one after the install of soul reaver
2 and then attempting to replace my orig soul reaver 2 registry etrys with
those. However, the game would not start on a fresh install anymore either, and
it never detects the cd correctly.

I will continue to attempt regression tests but wine will not compile wiht the
first regression due to something about push and pop pre processor commands. If
i run the game in windows 98 mode (it was made for 95/98) it says try nt40 or
win 3.1, however it wont run in those and if i run it in xp it used to run fine
but now copy protection fails all the time, and more recently wont even prompt
me for the correct cd, just nothing happens and it glitches out.

Tried with no-cd cracks.

Wine is beta. If your program works when you remove ~/.wine directory then it
is NOT A BUG.
Closing INVALID.

DO NOT REOPEN

If you still having problems with starting the game SECOND TIME without
touching registry OR ANY OTHER FILES. Then open new bug and be clear WHAT you
did and WHAT doesn't work.

Then why didn't you installed it?

If you can't report bugs properly DO NOT REPORT THEM AT ALL!

All your bugs WILL BE CLOSED AS INVALID if you do not properly install
programs.

Sorry for the hostility, i thought you were the same as someone who was riding
me about posting the output in the bug report on a previouse post and I made
this one before he got to me to tell me not to post it in the original post.
I'm gonna try to be as clear as possible.

I moved my .wine foldier to .wine_backup. Then i ran a winecfg to get default
config back. I then installed the game under windows xp and attempted to run
it. Nothing happened. I installed the updates and tried to run it. Nothing
happened. I  added the no cd crack and tried to run it. Nothing happened. I
tried this process another 3 times to make sure that it would provide similar
results.

Now it is a valid bug as it happens with a "fresh" install of wine 0.9.49.

I am re-opening the bug, i hope my reasoning is correct and this is a valid
bug.

> I then installed the game under windows xp

Then this bug INVALID. What you are doing isn't supported by Windows too. You
MUST install the game on WINE.

If you installed the game in one installation of Windows XP - it's unlikely to
work with other installation of Windows XP (and even if it will - this isn't
supported). Why do you think that WINE should work differently?

For me full version of the game is fully working (only bug I see is 10477 but
this is unrelated) if installed with current git in clean WINE prefix directory
(I didn't tried without no-cd patch however).

I meant i installed it ith wine's windows mode set to windows xp, installation
works under wine's windows mode set to xp or 98 or 2000 so far, for as much as
i can tell.

but i installed it under WINE with the windows emulation mode set to windows
xp, not xp.

Ok, my problem with the fresh installs was that i was updating them all to
version 1.2 before testing, i just redid a fresh install testing every step of
the way.

Version 1.0 works with our without a no-cd patch.

Version 1.2 does not work with or without a no-cd patch.

thats probably what was causing all the confusion.

Ok so the game's patch 1.2 broke it. This is not Wine regression, unless v1.2
worked for you with older Wine version.

Also I'm assuming you used "no-cd" patch for v1.2?

yes, although the no-cd patches i can find for the english versions (search
gameburnworld, gamecopyworld, gamefix, and freeinformationsociety) Dont appear
to work, it still prompts for the cd, except for version 1.2 which just does
nothing.

Although this is still a bug, i'm happy with version 1.0 working, as far as i
know, all 1.2 added was some configurability to controls etc, i was running the
regression testing before i realized it was version 1.2 that was causing the
problem.
