Sorry for wrong Severity.
As asked, here is console output... very tiny indeed...

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000073 at address 0x73 (thread
0041), starting debugger...

And that's all.

Can confirm the game does not run.

Tested with Wine v1.1.21
OS=Ubuntu 9.0.4 64 bit
Vid Card = Nvidia 8800GTS with latest proprietary NVidia driver, GL subsystem
working perfectly.

When attempting to launch the game, the mohaa console window opens briefly,
then the application quits.

See below:

alex@alex-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EA GAMES/MOHAA$
err:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 1760 bytes in thread 0021 eip
7bc3c4ae esp 01400c50 stack 0x1400000-0x1401000-0x1c00000

I am aware there is a registry patch that can be applied, which seems to
disable a tonne of GL extensions, on applying this, the game actually starts,
however the game looks shocking (wireframe graphics).

Why this bug has a status of unconfirmed seems silly to me. Why not just fix
wine so hacks to disable parts of opengl are not needed?

Could someone please look into this? it shouldn't be that hard for a member of
the development team to test and reproduce the problems, since mohaa is nearly
10 years old, you could probably grab a copy from your local gaming shop in the
bargain bin for $1

I thought it was a bug in the game itself. In Windows, Nvidia and ATI put a
workaround to fix it. I think Cedaga does that too.

I think it is not Wine fault and this bug should be marked as INVALID

I have succesfully run MOHAA with 1.1.21 (GeForce 8500 GT) applying the
registry patch and have not experienced any wireframe looks as Alex R. says
(used a no-cd patch also :-P ).

I can confirm this is NOT a bug in Wine but more likely in newer NVidia drivers
(maybe in the game itself) as I also get a grey screen and game quitting when
tryng to run it in native Windows XP (you should use a card tweaking tool to
change this behavior).

So I agree and suggest this should be marked INVALID.

Alex R.:

Have you noticed the HUGE amount of apps and bugs (many of them with higher
priorities and votes than MOHAA) these guys are to deal with?
