[Bug 12370] New: AGEod's American Civil War cannot run.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12370

Summary: AGEod's American Civil War cannot run.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.58.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Created an attachment (id=11865)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11865)
Error with following command: "nohup wine AACW.exe > wine.txt &"

When the game starts, there is an exception in ntdll that prevents it from
running.

wine was launched with and without "WINDEBUG=relay" (see attached files).

Game developers states that this seems to be linked to DirectX.
This game is based on same engine than Napoleon's Campaigns:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=6294

Same behaviour has been seen with wine-0.9.56.

Probably unimplemented stuff in directmusic, Could you try using some native
dlls like dmime, dmusic, dmuloader etc? That will probably get you around this
bug i think

The game can run. Steps to follow:
- install DirectX as stated here:
http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/03/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributab...
- download ddrawex.dll file to $HOME/.wine/windows/system32/ directory (file
available at: http://www.fichier-dll.fr/ddrawex.dll,666 )

I was so excited to have the game running, I didn't realize that there was
already work on this bug !

Sorry for being rude in last post.

This comment to point out I changed bug to FIXED, maybe WONTFIX would fit
better to this kind of problems ?

Impossible to play game with wine 1.1.6 "out of the box".

Here is what has been done (under an Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04):
- complete remove of wine package with "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
winbind",
- remove of directory .wine in $HOME of user,
- installed wine 1.1.6 (as stated on http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb )
- installed gamed (no problem),
- installed patch 1.09e (no problem).

Then try to launch game with following commands:
nohup wine AACW.ece > wine.txt
or
export WINEDEBUG=relay; nohup wine AACW.exe > wine+relay.txt &

Renamed produced files can be found attached to this bug.

Still impossible to play game without installing DirectX9 in version 1.1.18.

--- Comment #15 from Sitting Bull   2009-10-18 04:43:45 ---
Yes same problem still occurs. :-(

Here is what has been done:
- check wine version with dpkg:
$ dpkg -s wine | grep Version
Version: 1.1.31~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu1

- move ~/.wine directory to safe place

- install game (no problem)
-> at this point game does not start

- install latest game patch (no problem)
-> at this point game does not start

Please note that playing latest game patch on a .wine directory with directX
previously installed does work.

Yes, same problem occurs with demo (without and with 1.15 patch).

Same behaviour:
- install demo is ok
- launching it is not

- install patch is ok
- launching it is not

Since my system changed (updated OS to 9.10 and wine version to
1.1.43-0ubuntu1~karmicppa1), you'll find shortly a log file.

Output of "export WINEDEBUG=relay; nohup wine AACW.exe > wine_1.1.43+relay.txt"

Command launched after game patch v1.15 installation.

Raw text file was too big (~2.9 Mo), so it was "tar.gzed".

Is this still a problem with Wine-1.4-rc5 or newer?

I tried the demo, available here:
http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/latest/AACW_Demo.zip

Indeed, the game crashes early, during the loading stage. Contrary to what the
bug reporter stated in comment #4, this crash has nothing to do with ddraw, but
with directmusic: after 'winetricks directmusic' the demo can get to the main
menu. Actually, native dmime.dll is sufficient to work around the crash.
Winegstreamer also had to be disabled on my system.

No response since. Can you point into working legal download? The links
mentioned here seem to be dead.
