          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mscoree
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

Output of  'wine "SEGA Rally Revo Launcher.exe" &> log'

AFAICT one needs to launch "SEGA Rally Revo Launcher.exe" to configure the game
for the current hardware set ; without the data created by the launcher exe,
the
main game executable ("Sega Rally Revo.exe") crashes upon start.

Note: the launcher crash here spawns the microsoft .NET error reporting GUI..

It looks like you don't have the Managed DirectX assemblies installed; you may
have no choice but to install the directx9 redist from winetricks, as I can't
think of any better source for those.

Good call!...although strangely, directx9 runtime (and .NET 2.0) were actually
installed previous to the installation of the game itself. Taking your insight
onboard however and reinstalling directx9 with winetricks, did actually get the
game running. I'm not sure exactly what may be at play here, but, I'll redo the
installation a few times and see if I can ascertain why reinstalling directx
apparently fixes it.

Thanks Andrew.

Would it be that those assemblies are not created/installed unless .NET 2.0 SP2
is installed -prior- to the installation of directx runtime? If that is the
case, that's what probably what happened here -- I did have .NET 2.0 & directx9
installed, but did install .NET 2.0 SP2 subsequently in my attempts to get
things running....

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 650
days. Is this still an issue in current (1.4 or newer) wine?

Austin - I'm currently stuck between a rock & a tight place with this title --
with direct2drive recently moving their operations over to 'gamefly', I haven't
been able to access/check/run/play/use any of my D2D purchases due to issues
their end -- so just an fyi as such, this bug not forgotten, but, my hands are
tied..

...just house-keeping -- the gamefly service recently rolled out to my locale,
and as such I can now access my games purchased thru the old direct2drive
service. Unfortunately speaking the gamefly client itself is currently broken
in wine and won't install any titles...

... another years passes, and after all this waiting, this game I bought 2+
years ago has turned up again...

In the interim, the gamefly client (the version of rally revo I have) has come
a long way - likewise can be said for wine. I just had a hard swing at it, and
found the game itself.. sega rally revo ... now actually runs quite well,
however there's all sorts of nonsense with DRM integration with the gamefly
client, and how that client handles things ... all unassociated problems here.

Last time I saw this game running in wine, it was nowhere near as good as it
runs now in wine-1.6 ; framerates were slow/jerky, menu transitions took
forever, and animated menu backgrounds clunked along a 5fps -- now, these
issues all seem resolved, fps is smooth and constant, menus all working as they
should, so I'm going to mark this as resolved/fixed wrt wine-1.6

Thanks to all.
