Bug #: 29129
           Summary: HOMM3 (from GOG.com) installs, but does not start
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.28
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux

debug log

This regards Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete (GOG.com version),
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24425

I've tried both plain wine and playonlinux, and with both the game installs
fine, but then when I try to start it, the taskbar shows one program with the
HOMM3 icon (nothing shows when I click on it) and one program that says
"Program error". I haven't found any similar bug reports, and from searching
around, it seems everyone else gets it to run in wine just fine.

The result of running

env WINEPREFIX="/home/alouqua/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/homm3" wine
C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix
/home/alouqua/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/homm3/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Heroes\
of\ Might\ and\ Magic\ 3\ Complete.lnk &> ~/homm3wine.log

is attached.

This is running 32-bit Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, wine 1.3.28, winetricks 20110629.

It's pretty much a fresh install, haven't tried running anything else in wine,
nor done any winetricks. The laptop ran HOMM3 fine in Windows XP.

Play on Linux is not supported here.

You say it's broken on plain wine. Please run the app from a clean wineprefix
and attach a full console log from plain wine.

1. Does it make a difference if you cd to the directory where the game resides,
and simply launch it by wine Heroes3.exe ?

2. My second guess would be the Intel gfx card and/or driver you're using: I
have no problems running HoMM III Complete (GoG.com version) with a Nvidia gfx
card and the proprietary drivers.

You should also try the game with the latest development version of Wine
(1.3.33 as of writing).

Well, it did run fine in Windows XP (also runs the rather incomplete Loki Linux
version in Xubuntu).

Will do.

You've been asked to try with wine-1.3.33 which was release last Friday. Not 1+
years old version.

Wine 1.3.33 output with r600 drivers

I get a similar issue when running Heroes Chronicles: Masters of the Elements
(a variant of Heroes III) with the Mesa r600 driver. Attached the log I get
when running the executable with wine 1.3.33. I will try FGLRX drivers later
on.

Tested with FGLRX, and it works fine, so it's most probably a driver issue.

I am experiencing a nearly identical bug with Heroes of Might and Magic III
Complete (GOG.com version).  I'm currently running openSUSE 12.1 x86_64; my
video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, and I'm using only open source
drivers.  The game installs but crashes upon launch.

I apologize sincerely for my ignorance, but I would like to help and I do not
know how to obtain a debug log (or whatever it's called).  If the next poster
would be so kind as to let me know what command to type to obtain a log so I
can attach it, I would be much appreciative.

I'm new to Linux and I'd like to learn more but I'm still a quite the newb. 
Growing up on Windows has rotted my brain methinks.

Thanks!

That's pretty much a crash in the driver. Does setting DRAW_USE_LLVM=0 in the
environment make it any better?
