Hi there,
I've recently compiled Wine-20041201 and I'm trying to get Baldur's Gate II running. The installation sequence is fine, so is the main menu, character creation etc. The problem is, once inside the actual game, the application randomly crashes giving me:
Runtime error c:\bg2\BGMain.exe abnormal program termination
This happens often enough to render the gameplay quite unnerving. Especially when it happens 15 minutes after the last quicksave ;-) I haven't found out what makes the game crash. I'm quite sure it isn't a sound problem - I've turned sound off both in ~/.wine/config and in BGConfig.exe - not better at all. The only clue I've got is the message which appears in the system console after the game quits:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40689020 "?" wait timed out in thread 000f, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
Whatever it means ;-) The same thing happened in Wine-20041019. I'd be grateful for any clues as right now I'm quite fed up with restarting the game every 3 minutes (or even worse). If you need any more debug messages, just ask.
