[Bug 11706] New: Warcraft III freezes with a black screen on startup

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11706

Summary: Warcraft III freezes with a black screen on startup
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.56.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Note: This is _NOT_ related to #6618. The freeze happens *after* the intro ends
by e.g. hitting the mouse key.

Without renaming the movies folder, the following error shows up:

This application has encountered a critical error:
FATAL ERROR!
Program: C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\war3.exe
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0073:7EF91B95
The instruction at '0x7EF91B95' referenced memory at '0x00000015'.
The memory could not be 'read'."

With the movie folder renamed the Warcraft III just freezes with a black
screen.

Frankly, it's just a matter of timing: If you wait ~5 Seconds before skipping
the intro Warcraft III freezes, if you skip the intro immediately the error
message pops up.

Also, see the comments by 'Clement' on the AppDB Page.
Note: Downgrading to 0.9.45 didn't solve my problem.

(From update of attachment 13839)
In a way. The game now crashes immediately.

With 1.1.10 the game starts and simply exits without a crashdump when the
movies folder does not exist. If it exists it crashes after a while telling a
thread has timed out. Attaching both logs...

What are you using? Alsa or oss? If you use alsa set hardware acceleration to
basic/full. 
Had the same problem, which I solved at first by changing winecfg settings and
later by switching to oss4.

I can confirm that this happens on wine-1.1.23 and 1.1.24 on F11 i586.

I've tried alsa, pulseaudio and oss.

It may be relevant that I'm using intel 4500MHD

Forgot to mention that my machine is a Lenovo Thinkpad R500 2714-34G. Also I
noticed that the reporter also uses intel video can this be related to the
intel video drivers.

I can provide any debugging information if needed.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.35 or newer) wine?

another backtrace + thread info in the crash on startup

I could catch another backtrace of the crash leading to the freeze on startup,
different from the first one here. I realized it is not a freeze actually, the
application just awaits when the user closes a crash dialog behind the main
warcraft window. I could not just to alt-tab to this crash dialog, it always
remains behind the main window, and could be seen only *during* alt-tabbing
with desktop compositing effects enabled. This crash does not occure on each
start, the probability to get it is around 10-50%, depending on conditions
(e.g. whether or not the KWin effects are enabled, whether or not the game is
run via winedbg, and on winedbg registry keys).

This backtrace ends in i965_dri.so, i.e. this bug may be indeed related to the
intel 3D driver. However, please note there are two subsequent calls to
wine_glClear (even with different parameter), which seems never call itself
recursively, according to the wine sources. This looks very strange.

I use KDE 4.4.2, Ubuntu Lucid, wine 1.3.4. I remember that the same issue
existed with many previous wine versions and Ubuntu releases, so it is pretty
aged.

The crash I was saying about disappeared in the new system (Ubuntu Natty),
althogh wine was of the same version. That was probably a graphics driver bug.
I no longer see anything bad during game startup now.

Does this still occur in Wine 1.7.11 or later?
