[Bug 23252] New: Dawn of War (german version) always crashes some seconds after the start of a match

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23252

Summary: Dawn of War (german version) always crashes some
                    seconds after the start of a match
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc4
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Logfile from Wine (wine Steam.exe &> winelog.txt). The first few messages are
from steam. As soon as i start DoW these lines appear:
fixme:process:GetProcessWorkingSetSize (0xffffffff,0xb2e43c,0xb2e43

I use the following setup:
- OpenSuse 11.0
- ATI Radeon X850 (Catalyst 9.3 driver, no newer one available for this card)
- Latest version of Steam (API v009 and package version 61 / 1276)
- Latest german version of Dawn of War on Steam (Engine 1.51)
- Clear installation of Wine 1.2 rc4
- Corefonts installed via winetricks to get Steam to work

This is what happens:
- Installation of Steam and DoW without any problem
- Start of DoW without any problem (except a white box around the cursor)
- Sound works with wine 1.2 rc4. With rc3 it did not.
- Start of a match without any problem
- Some seconds the game runs good. As soon as i begin to create a building the
game crashes. If i don't create a building the game runs fine for a while. I
think the animation (when a building falls down from above) causes the crash. 
- Steam does not crash.
- This is always reproducable
- This also affects the expansion pack Winter Assault.

The log from the game isn't very helpful, can you get one with winedbg? Use the
third method listed here: http://wiki.winehq.org/Backtraces

Backtrace of the crash

Thanks for your quick answer!
I could not create a backtrace with the third method, but the first one worked
for me. I made this two times on different maps and the result was in both
cases the same. So i think i did it correctly.

After same nasty try and error i found away to avoid the crashes!

If i disable the use of GL Shading Language via regedit, the game runs
perfectly.

I had another problem with the game "Tales of Monkey Island", that was fixed in
the same way.

Here is a little HowTo:
- Go to the console
- enter the following command: wine regedit
- The registry editor will open
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Go to Software
- Go to Wine
- Go to Direct3D or create it,  if it does not exist: right click "Wine" and
create a new key named Direct3D
- Mark the new Folder(Key) Direct 3D, add a new "String Value" (Zeichenfolge
for german users) named UseGLSL
- DoubleClick UseGLSL and enter "disabled" at the content-field

Maybe you could add this to the description of the game?

Is this still a bug in git for the German version? (1.3.10). I never
experienced this with the English version.

Hi Xavier,

this bug stills exists on my computer with wine 1.3.10

Additionally today i made a test with the english demo version of dow and the
bug occurs too. So its not only the german version. I changed the topic for
this bug (removed german version)

After the mentioned change in the registry the bug is gone. I think it depends
on my old ATI graphics card and/or driver.
With Windows XP on the same system everything is fine.

Does an open source driver exist for ATI graphics cards, that supports 3d? Then
i could test with this driver. Right now i use the offical driver from ATI and
they released the last version for my card on march 2009 :)

Btw: Happy new year!! :)

According to what you say, this could be ATI specific. I use an NVIDIA 8800GT,
and it never crashed like that.

I think it is working a bit better with wine 1.3.10 than it dit with 1.2

Sometimes it runs for maybe five minutes without a crash. But there are still
certain events, that always cause crashes. One is very good reproducable:

- Start a skirmish with the Space Marines
- Build Scouts
- Select the Scouts and press Delete
- The Scouts die and the game crashes

There is also one more remarkable thing:
This causes Crashes in Dow and Dow Winter Assault, but not in Dow Dark Crusade.
Dark Crusade uses a new version of the Dow-Engine.

I found out something more:

Until now i had disabled shadows in the Dow-Options.
If i enable the shadows the game doesn't crash, when i kill a Scout. Maybe you
can check this? Do you have shadows enabled or disabled? Do you have crashes if
you disable shadows?

Just tried to reproduce the situation you mentioned, and it doesn't crash for
me with shadows either disabled (none) or full. Would be good if someone else
with ATI hardware could confirm or not.

Yep you are right! And this should be easy, because the demo is free for
download.

- Download the demo:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16183 (the links
are on the left side)
- Start the game
- Disable shadows via options
- Start a skirmish as Space Marine
- Build a group of scouts
- Mark the scouts and press delete to kill them and the game should crash

PS: I made a new backtrace to check if it is still the same error and it is.
The following command line parameters might be helpful for testing:
-nomovies (disable movies at the start of the game)
-window (start the game in window mode)
