| Steven, sorry for the slow response, I got tied up in some other stuff. But now back to fun. =) And thanks for your response! The application is Lord of the Rings Online. They don't use normal version numbers, so this bug actually started with "Book 14". In Book 14, the problem would manifest as a crash. The current version is "Mines of Moria" and now I will get either a crash (segfault) or a hang, but the result is a hang 6 times out of 7 (or so). However, I've run into a more serious problem that I have yet to resolve, and I'll post it in a new thread. This problem is related to what is considered acceptable behavior and what is not and what is considered "reverse engineering". I mentioned that I had the program in winedbg and was examining the threads when I was informed that I was reverse engineering and any patch I came up with doing this would not be accepted. I found this rather confounding to say the least!! Anyway, the hang or crash may occur immediately (under 50 milliseconds) after switching to the LOTRO window or it may only occur after I start moving around. It will always occur within 10 or 20 seconds of having switched to the window, usually within 4 or 5. So if I start playing after swithcing to the window and I make it 30 seconds, I'm confident that it wont crash that time. If you want to install this app, I have recently written up a pretty install script to do some enviroment setup and posted it on the appdb here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14566 You can even create a trial account for testing. Unfortunately, it's a 7GB download. One of my shortcomings in troubleshooting this is that I've never done directx or direct3d, so I don't understand all of the implications of these window events from that perspective (or direct input). I'm going to play more with this today as well. Daniel --- On Sat, 5/9/09, Steven Edwards <winehacker@gmail.com> wrote:
