wine-staging issues with USB HID since Version > 6.12

Post by Erdie »

Hi,
I am using a model airplane simulation connected to my remote controll via a USB HID based dongle in combination with an RC receiver. This had been worked for wine staging versions until 6.12 (on gentoo linux). After the upgrade to 6.13 the application crashes when the dongle has been plugged in, without it runs but is useless. My hope was a fix coming with 6.14 but it did not work with this version either.

BTW: This problem exists in the past when the HID support was not ready so I guess it is a recursive bug. I was going to create a bugzilla ticket but my request to get a user there was just ignored.

What can I do?

@Erdie

It would be helpful to do a regression test against wine-staging - to see what commit breaks your use case.

Looking at the Wine git commit log:

Code: Select all

...
feb088b2247e1722b848ac0d67483596d33758ba Release 6.13.
...
5a62d0dbca08688e6b08c7209e79eb698846f22f hidclass.sys: Return error on invalid read buffer size.
...
881b2d658352eec7cc9fcdd85ce8222ad1962d66 hidclass.sys: Return error on invalid write buffer size.
...
12d33d21d33788fd46898ea42e9592d33b6e7c8e Release 6.12.
...
So probably one of the hidclass.sys commits is breaking things for you.

Does it mean I need to install a intermediate Version of wine-staging related to a certain commit?

BTW: Even 6.15 breaks for me, I have currently mask everything > 6.12 but this is not a good solution of course ;)
