Hello,
I tried to set up a server of BugBear's Next Car Game: Wreckfest on my debian. Fortunately, the game just got a dedicated server.
Unfortunately however, running it in wine results in the error message "Call from <hex address> to unimplemented function KERNEL32.dll.GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx, aborting" and the software instantly crashes.
The server software is actually just the game executable launched with -s. The game itself works on wine. Not great, but playable. So it seems to be a server-related problem.
I've tried using wine 1.6 on debian wheezy, wine 1.7.40 (still wheezy, compiled it some months ago) and wine 1.7.52 (jessie-backport, debian jessie) and a clean wineprefix, but the problem persists. I need to get the server software running on debian, virtualizing windows is not possible.
Is there any possible way to get it working? I couldn't find anything useful on google and nobody seems to have tried running it on linux yet.

Start by upgrading Wine, because all the versions you've tried are outdated. Use the WineHQ packages. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25767
If the problem is still present in 1.8, file a bug.

The latest WineHQ packages for Jessie are actually 1.7.52, that's why I couldn't try 1.8. Is there any other way of installing 1.8?

That's why I told you to use the WineHQ packages and linked you to the thread with instructions for installing them.

Sorry, I assumed you were talking about https://www.winehq.org/download/debian. Installed 1.8 now, same problem. I'm currently filing a bug. Thanks for your help
