Hey all,
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Wine 1.1.42 (distributed through the Ubuntu package manager), and I'm getting complete lockups when running SimCity 4. This also happened before when running WoW, but I switched games so did not completely debug that one.
So anyway, basically after playing for 20-60 minutes I get complete lockups, only thing that happens is blinking caps lock light. I guess this is not supposed to happen with Wine but it only occurs under wine so I figure this is the right place to start. Some system data:
Code:
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l
Code:
$ lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a2)
Code:
$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 256.44 Thu Jul 29 01:30:36 PDT 2010
GCC version: gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5)
Code:
WINEDEBUG=+reg wine Apps/SimCity\ 4.exe 2>errror.log
And the output was very uninteresting...last few lines were all like
Code:
fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundBufferImpl_Restore (0x1c07d8):stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x130ea0): semi-stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x130ea0): semi-stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x130ea0): semi-stub
fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundBufferImpl_Restore (0x1c07d8):stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x130ea0): semi-stub
Seems unrelated to me. Love some advice on this, even if it's things to eliminate.
Thanks!
