Wine output

When opening Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow's multiplayer mode (c:\Program
Files\UBISOFT\Splinter Cell Pandora
Tomorrow\online\System\shadowstrike_static_retail.exe), the splash screen of
the game shows up but crashes a few seconds later.
Interestingly, doing the same with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory yields the same
result: the splash screen is shown for a few seconds, then it crashes.
The terminal also says the same error in both cases:
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x7e525377
(thread [something])

Tried in a clean Wine prefix for both, and installing various winetricks stuff
didn't change anything.

Since the servers for Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow have been taken offline
and support has been halted, the game's multiplayer mode isn't really worth a
lot right now (only LAN mode works). In such circumstances, would it be
acceptable to upload it somewhere for devs to download it? The multiplayer part
of the game is a standalone package, free of CD protection and everything.

Using Wine 1.1.30 on Kubuntu 9.04 64-bit with unpatched Wine 32-bit from the
prepackaged .deb repo, although the crash has happened with every version of
Wine I had the occasion of using (Wine 1.1.8 to 1.1.30).

Scratch the "upload the multiplayer package" idea; there's a free demo for the
multiplayer part of the game here, which suffers from the same crash:

how are you running the program?  you should to cd to the install directory
first if you aren't already.

Please provide a backtrace http://wiki.winehq.org/Backtraces

Yeah, that's what I did (cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\
Files/Ubisoft/Splinter\ Cell\ Pandora\ Tomorrow\ MultiPlayer\
Demo/online/System; then wine PandoraMultiPlayerDemo.exe)

The program crashes too quickly for me to do all of this (info process, attach,
set $BreakOnFirstChance=0, cont) before it crashes. Isn't there a
better/faster/automated way?

This is not heplful without debug symbols.... either compile from source or
install them.

Good news! It all works with the current Wine-git. I didn't know how to install
debugging symbols, so I downloaded the Wine source tree, ran ./configure; make
depend; make; sudo make install, and then tried winedbg, but the program loaded
completely! I then tried to use wine rather than winedbg, and it works too.

At first I didn't want to install this wine build because it's supposed not to
be stable, but I couldn't find how to run winedbg... I only saw the main wine
binary, not winedbg. Also, is there a special configure flag or something to
enable debugging symbols? I don't really need those anymore but would still
like to know.

Now for the actual game: I had trouble with the game running on slow-motion (it
seems that it is a recurring problem on AMD processors on Windows, although I
don't have an AMD processor nor use Windows, but the fix was the same), and had
problems with the mouse, fixed using MouseWarpoverride = false. But I guess I
should go and report that to the AppDB, right?

There are separate packages for that on most distros. Called something line
wine-dbg or so.

Debug information is compiled in by default.

Exactly. Also open new bugs please for new issues if not already reported.

If it works with current wine, then it's fixed.
