Program SimCity 4 Rush Hour Versin No. 1,1,640 (all updates applied) Linux Mint 12 Lisa (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64) wine 1.4-rc2 (received today) Log excerpt 1. Full log available if desired but it is 137 lines of mostly repeated garbage. err:menubuilder:convert_to_native_icon error 0x80070005 creating output file L"H:\\.local\\share\\icons\\hicolor\\32x32\\apps\\D0A0_MSACCESS.0.png" err:menubuilder:convert_to_native_icon error 0x80070005 creating output file L"H:\\.local\\share\\icons\\hicolor\\16x16\\apps\\D0A0_MSACCESS.0.png" err:menubuilder:convert_to_native_icon error 0x80070005 creating output file L"H:\\.local\\share\\icons\\hicolor\\48x48\\apps\\D0A0_MSACCESS.0.png" err:menubuilder:convert_to_native_icon error 0x80070003 creating output file L"H:\\.local\\share\\icons\\hicolor\\256x256\\apps\\D0A0_MSACCESS.0.png" These lines have been showing up since 1.4-rc1, perhaps earlier. Some kind of loop keeps producing this and I don't think my app knows anything about ACCESS. There is also a group of fixme's that have been present most of the time and I believe are irrelevant. A couple of new errors: ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred Did not cause the crash in the app, but not seen before. And then: err:d3d_surface:surface_modify_location Surface 0x17e460 does not have any up to date location. err:d3d_surface:surface_modify_location Surface 0x17e460 does not have any up to date location. err:d3d_surface:surface_modify_location Surface 0x17e1f8 does not have any up to date location. err:d3d_surface:surface_modify_location Surface 0x17e1f8 does not have any up to date location. <=== I think the app crashed here. fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_decref Device released with resources still bound, acceptable but unexpected. fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_decref Leftover resource 0x1a3688 with type WINED3D_RTYPE_BUFFER (0x6). err:mmtime:TIME_MMTimeStop Timer still active?! err:ntdll:RtlDeleteResource Deleting active MRSW lock (0x112dcc), expect failure Whereupon the app crashed to the desktop. Here is my script to run the app: #!/bin/bash date env WINEPREFIX="/home/john/.wine" \ wine "C:/Program Files/Maxis/SimCity 4/Apps/SimCity 4.exe" \ -intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -d:directx \ -CPUcount:1 &>~/sc4.log date The two date items let me see how long the app stayed up. Here is the record before the crash noted here Wed Feb 8 12:44:26 EST 2012 Wed Feb 8 12:47:05 EST 2012 This app was working fine on 4.1-rc1, albeit in software mode. Today it fails on either setting. I will happily report a bug if I knew enough about this to say what has failed.
