[Bug 16759] New: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (CD retail 1.2 w/ community patches) doesn't start (d3d/winex11 errors)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16759
Summary: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (CD retail 1.2 w/ community patches) doesn't start (d3d/winex11 errors) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.12 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: maxfnoel@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=18426) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=18426) Traceback for the crash
Although the game is part of the Wine Gold list, it fails to start with a traceback (see attached file) that shows an attempt to switch the display's resolution to a refresh rate of several megahertz (which of course no graphics hardware is capable of).
The screen switches resolutions to 800x600, shows a "Loading..." text on a grey background and just hangs until I kill it (which is where the traceback ends).
I'm using an official Wine 1.1.12 release (from http://winehq.org/download/deb), but the problem was present in 1.1.11 as well.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (64-bit). My graphics card is a GeForce 8400M GS running into the builtin LCD of my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. The problem occurs with both versions 173 and 177 of the nVidia drivers.
The tested version of the game is the retail CD version (both with and without nocd cracks), patched to 1.2 then to the community patch at http://www.planetvampire.com/bloodlines/files/patches/
As discussed at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4949 , at least one other user (running ArchLinux with an nVidia FX 5200) has the same problem.

See the discussion - Virtual Desktop doesn't help.

Enabling the virtual desktop doesn't, indeed, change much. The error features the same insane refresh rate, with (desktop) instead of (XRandR).

--- Comment #8 from Adrian Lüthi adi.l@bluewin.ch 2009-01-03 17:24:06 --- As stated in the discussion @appdb, i am still pretty sure that the error is not with the graphics, but with the copy protection of the game, as without nocd patch i get the same problem as shown here.
And when i use a nocd crack i still get a impossible frequence and it does still work.
I will add my xrandr outputs, and console outputs with and without nocd patch. Maybe it is working for me, as i seem to have much more modes in xrandr.
But i can run the game with debug channels on for comparison if someone can give me which channels i should run.

--- Comment #11 from Max Noel maxfnoel@gmail.com 2009-01-03 18:25:26 --- What nocd crack are you using? I did try with one myself, to no avail.
Note that without a nocd crack and no disc in the drive, the game doesn't even bother trying to initialize its 3D engine -- a plain dialog with "Please insert disc 1" is all it ever does.

--- Comment #12 from Max Noel maxfnoel@gmail.com 2009-01-03 18:36:47 --- Holy crap, you're right! I just tried using a different nocd crack (I'm not sure whether posting links to nocds is all right, so I'll just say it's the one entitled "Vampire - Bloodlines v1.2 [ENGLISH/GERMAN] No-CD/Fixed EXE" you can download from GCW) and the game did launch!
That's... Interesting, to say the least. IIRC Bloodlines uses SafeDisc copy protection.

--- Comment #14 from Nicky nheart@gmail.com 2009-01-04 02:40:20 --- So then it's problem caused by Safedisk when using certain types of NOCD cracks.

--- Comment #15 from Max Noel maxfnoel@gmail.com 2009-01-04 12:52:12 --- More accurately, it's a problem caused by SafeDisc when *not* using certain types of NoCD cracks. The uncracked game doesn't launch either.

It defenitly runs with crack, whilst without it wont run. When using crack I never had problems to start the game on diffrent versions of Wine (from 1.1.9 to 1.1.13)
