Summary: simutrans sdl-88-10-5 aborts on startup Product: Wine Version: 0.9.25. Platform: Other URL: http://simutrans.com OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Looked into this because of the strange problem report at http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php/topic,4523.msg37764.html where the guy appeared to be trying to run the Linux version of simutrans using Wine. But what the heck, I figured I'd see if the Windows version worked. Sadly, it didn't for me on Ubuntu 6.06. To repeat:
$ wget http://64.simutrans.com/simuwin-sdl-88-10-5.zip $ wget http://64.simutrans.com/simupak64-88-10-5.zip $ unzip simuwin-sdl-88-10-5.zip $ unzip simupak64-88-10-5.zip $ cd simuwin $ wine simuwin [It puts up something on the screen, then aborts. I have to run xrandr -s 1 to restore the screen. The app itself creates stdout.txt and stderr.txt.] $ more stderr.txt Couldn't open the window: DirectDraw2::SetSurfaceDesc: Invalid parameters
