Mine is. Don't know for the original reporter. Wine built from git, not ubuntu
packaged. Why? Anything fascinatingly broken?

Ah, right. The "preloader" lines. I don't get those. (I've fixed that sysctl
setting so long ago I can't remember when.)

Apart from that, my crash is identical.

--- Comment #9 from Martin   2008-07-19 17:01:01 ---
My take on this bug is that these lines:

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {8c779023-bd0e-43a0-a876-c4a54e0a7d5c} not
registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {8c779023-bd0e-43a0-a876-c4a54e0a7d5c}
could be created for context 0x1

I believe this error causes the crash. When I have tried to run the game again
and again to compare the crash logs, the wine logs always look practically the
same, but the place BS4 shows that it crashes are either as mentioned here:

EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION:  The thread tried to execute an instruction whose
operation is not allowed in the current machine mode.

Or, more commenly for me. A pointer to a corrupted object which has a garbage
name. I believe the game doesn't check properly that CoGetClassObject actually
returns a proper object, and ends up executing/accessing garbage. I haven't
been able to confirm it nor find out which class
{8c779023-bd0e-43a0-a876-c4a54e0a7d5c} actually is, but accessing a garbage
pointer would explain the logs bs4 has been spitting out.

Class {8c779023-bd0e-43a0-a876-c4a54e0a7d5c} is for ambx. The installer from
http://www.ambx.com/software/amBX_Installer_v.1.10.zip doesn't complete, but it
stops the CoGetClassObject error.

The game stills crashes however with:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x1107a8 "?" wait timed out in
thread 002a, blocked by 0029, retrying (60 sec)

d3d,d3d_surface,seh log

The RtlpWaitForCriticalSection is a red herring due to ambx dll.

The crash seems to be due to wined3d trying to access an already freed surface
(see d3d log). It's probably similar to the refcount issue with bug 10758.

(Tested with the full game)
Since Wine 1.5.7 the game stopped crashed at start.
The sound can be heard correctly, allowing to guess what's going on... Because
the display is messed up :(

Everything is like projected from the center of the screen, visually what comes
immediately to mind is that you're looking back at a movie projector...

So, during logo videos you barely see anything (usually the screen is
monochrome, but switching colors), during what must be the menu you see what
looks the most like a movie projector (black background, a beam of quickly
changing colors going right and up), and if you manage to start the game you
get something more colorful and abstract...

I confirm that the demo for BS4 starts fine in Wine 1.5.7, provided I placed
native d3dx9_36.dll (or d3dx9_29) in the game directory. Without native
d3dx9_36  the game shows only empty screens instead of the intro videos and
menus.
For any remaining problems with the demo, please file a new bug report (if none
exist yet).

This one was fixed by
