Homeworld 2 will not launch

[Hruntio]

With Wine 1.2-rc1 I am trying to run Homeworld 2 1.1. I have configured Wine to use NT 4.0, as this is the only way to get the copy protection to work. I have successfully run the game once, but prior and since it simply spins up the CD and then exits. The only message from a run with no extra command line parameters or variables is this:

Code: Select all

fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0 func=500 method=0)

However, I got that when it actually ran too.

I haven't been able to determine what was different when it ran that one time, and the lack of errors is frustrating. Any suggestions?

I'm still getting the same behavior with 1.2rc-4. It's rather frustrating that no one else seems to be having the same problem, and I'm getting no error messages. Can anyone suggest some way to help determine what the issue is?
