Bug #: 30244 Summary: Might & Magic Clash of Heroes: fails to start Product: Wine Version: 1.5.0 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: spoon0042@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified

Trying to run Steam version of Might & Magic Clash of Heroes. The first fraction of a second of an intro video plays, then the screen goes black for about ten seconds and then seems to exit, but usually leaves a process running in the background.

gameoverlayrenderer is disabled. Using debian fglrx 12-1-1.

A demo is available at least on Steam.

This is the entire console output from when it is started, no WINEDEBUG is set:

I did a fresh prefix and stopped stem from installing the dependencies (vcrun2008 and dx9) by deleting the redist folder in the gamefiles.

Try: Crash (with Wine crash alert)

fixme:d3d:wined3d_get_format Can't find format unrecognized (0x434f5441) in the format lookup table wine: Call from 0x7b840355 to unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXGetShaderInputSemantics, aborting

Native d3dx9_36 and 'winetricks vcrun2008' are installed.

That error didn't show up in my 1.7.30 log and doesn't seem to with 2.0 either. I tried 2.0 with and without the patch anyway (had to make a best guess edit as it doesn't apply cleanly anymore) and nothing seems to have changed. I may poke at it a bit more this weekend or whenever to make sure I didn't screw anything up.

Created attachment 63263 [details] Backtrace Clash of heroes

The crash seen here could be anything but it's not the originally reported bug. Could be a corrupted userconfig.cfg. Delete that file from the game directory and try again (it will be recreated on next start).

Yes, userconfig.cfg was a blank file, deleted and now black screen for a few seconds and exits. The demo (Steam appid 61720) has the same result.

--- Comment #24 from Paul Gofman gofmanp@gmail.com --- Created attachment 63304 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=63304 Partial workaround for DSS cryptographic provider

Duplicate of bug #10506.

I am attaching an awkward (but short) workaround which allows the game to run (as a proof of concept). With this patch it works for me with d3dcompiler_47 override ('winetricks d3dcompiler_47'). No other native dll overrides were required.

The game checks SHA1 hash on its data files and silently exits after a while if the check fails.

--- 00b1:Call advapi32.CryptAcquireContextW(0801f600,00000000,00000000,00000003,00000000) ret=0043c2d7 00b1:Ret advapi32.CryptAcquireContextW() retval=00000000 ret=0043c2d7 00b1:Call KERNEL32.GetLastError() ret=0043c2e1 00b1:Ret KERNEL32.GetLastError() retval=80090017 ret=0043c2e1 ---

Tested on Steam demo. I did not test it far beyond the start though, just loading, start of new campaign with some first screens. I also hit the problem covered by Comment #22: right after installation the game crashed in msvcrt.strtok() with empty userconfig.cfg. Deleting the file just once was enough to workaround it (it was recreated with parameters and problem did not come up anymore).

--- Comment #25 from Paul Gofman gofmanp@gmail.com --- As a separate note, I suppose adding a FIXME until DSS provider is implemented to CryptAcquireContextW() could be appropriate. Such a call does not fail on Windows with these parameters.

Without a FIXME this problem was not exactly easy to track down. The application does not exhibit any error and does not exit immediately after. Thread which does the check seemingly just sets some status (which probably causes main rendering thread to display just blank screen, while it still does some minimal rendering), continues to do things (like e. g. opening other files), exits with 0 exit code, and after that the main rendering thread just silently exits too.

--- Comment #26 from Michael McGuire spoon0042@hotmail.com --- Neat! Yeah, that's tricky. No wonder this never went anywhere.

I can confirm the workaround works on the full version on steam.

A few months back when I was poking at this again I did notice the strtok issue as well, seems like another bug?
