--- Comment #11 from Håkon haakobja@gmail.com --- Created attachment 63887 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=63887 Wine-devel, Xephyr - The Sims not starting
(In reply to Bruni from comment #10)
Judging by video, wine-staging successfully switches the game into 8-bit color mode since it writes fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode in log
wine-devel crashes at the moment it has to change color mode and doesn't log this message.
See https://wiki.winehq.org/256_Color_Mode
Looks like the game can be launched through wine-devel using "wine Sims.exe -skip_intro -skip_verify"
I tried with Wine-devel, now, and it still does not work… For now, it seems like The Sims is only working with wine-staging.
I tried the following commit for wine-devel: 6d82b2f1ad0e8d1d7a3b7060ee4993560b499989
