Anything useful?

This is a backtrace of Combat Arms error in win98 mode.

I think that is mostly a lib error, wininet.dll to be exact. Sorry for my
english.
If i deal with this, i certainly post comment here, maybe i try to switch
wininet.dll from WinXP Home Edition to Wine and see what happens. Just a
thought, but may solve a problem. Besides, i'm working on wine-1.1.28 with
winetricks installed with this additions: ie6, gecko and d3dx9.

Changing the files described above does not change anything. I don't have more
ideas that could solve this bug.

Why are you running this game with win version set to win98?

I've tried to run CA on win98, because i've seen in AppDB that this is the way
to successively run the game. But in my case, it's been unsuccessive. Game
starts in some way, the window with game came up, but this window is... empty,
i can see my desktop wallpaper through that window and icons on desktop, when
i'm pointing mouse cursor into this game window cursor dissapears. I've added
backtrace of WinXP mode, because i was trying to run this game under this mode
too. My wine version is 1.1.28. I've got configured registry thanks to the
usefull registry keys from wine wiki, and installed ie6, d3dx9 from winetricks.
I've tried to run this game with GLSL enabled, disabled, gdi and opengl mode
and that don't do the trick, not in win98 mode, nor in winXP mode. Any usefull
stuff from this backtrace, that i've added?

Instead of running the program with winefile, cd to the install dir then run
the main executable.  It looks like it might have some sort of copy protection
also, you could try using a crack as a workaround to see if that makes the game
load.

That's no good, tried with hackshield bypass with no results. Error message:
"Fail to update protection modules! - ErrorCode [0x00000002]"
That's one, and now the second one:
"An internal exception occured (Address:0x8f3a12)
Please, contact [e-mail]. Thank you!"

Checked in win98 and WinXP mode.

I think that this bug is not a concern to wine 1.1.28 and should be closed.
Combat Arms runs with winetricks- ie6 without a problem with win98 mode.

Not if you have to install ie6... it sets some modules to native.

If that's with a crack then it doesn't seem to be a very effective crack,
oreans is the copy protection company.

Hackshield seems to be dealt with in bug 4666.

I've reinstalled Wine and winetricks and i have set up registry from usefull
registry keys (but not everything), installed ie6, set up win98 mode and i've
installed Combat Arms and it works fine without any crack, so i don't know why
i've been not able to run this game earlier. Cheers

Can you attach terminal output after installing in a clean prefix + using
crack.  Don't install ie6 or set to win98.

One more thing, this game doesn't even install without ie6, because nexon
installer fails to run. Gecko engine is installing before nexon is lauched, but
it don't do good.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.9 or newer) wine?

Perhaps a different version of it is. HackShield gives me error 108 when I try
to launch the game.

Terminal output

Well, i didn't even past the install process, because when i want to launch the
installer (after download with download manager) the menu of installer goes all
white and i can't do anything with that. Changing configuration in winecfg end
with the same result, so i think that i simply put the output file.

Hello folks,

resolving with 'abandoned'.
Multiple issues mixed here, covered by existing bugs.

@hackshield: see existing bugs

@installer: see existing bugs

The web/browser based installer runs better now though still suffers from
mshtml/shdocvw/gecko insufficiencies -> different bug(s).

Regards
