Game crashes after loading screen (Victoria)

Misko · Post by **Misko** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 1:44 pm

Hello,
I'm trying to play Victoria:Revolutions. The AppDB says that the game runs flawlessly, but in my case, it crashes right after loading.
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=15793
I'm not sure what am I doing wrong, I installed the game, enabled the virtual desktop, but the game crashes every time.

If you could offer a solution, it'd be great.

Wine version and terminal output would be helpful.

Have you searched bugzilla/filed a bug?

I'm using the latest Wine, downloaded it today with the synaptic (Ubuntu 8.04), but I have no idea what do you mean by "terminal output", I'm not good with these things...

I know what a terminal is, just I don't know how to use it...

Open a terminal.

$ wine --version

$ wine your_program.exe &> /tmp/output.txt

Then paste output.txt here.

Applications, System Tools, Terminal

You'll see a prompt, probably something like:
user@system:~$

In there, cd to your program's directory:
user@system:~$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Program/
then execute the program
user@system:/home/user/drive_c/Program Files/Program$ wine your_program.exe
&> /tmp/output.txt

Then paste output.txt here.

Make sure you killed pulseadio - it's not compatible with Wine.

While I was struggling with your instructions (I can't manage to do it...), I remembered that when I looked for the wine version in terminal, this is what I got:
Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000
then the version number (wine-0.9.59)

Maybe it's of some use...

Could be! See http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem
for a workaround. That might well help you.
What version of Linux are you running, again?
