Can't run Zuma's Revenge..

GiorgioV · Post by **GiorgioV** » Thu May 06, 2010 10:58 am

Hi guys, I can't seem to be able to run Zuma's Revenge..

The game installs fine, but when I launch it, a small black square appears for maybe a couple of seconds in the lower left bout of the screen and then nothing else happens..

I can't figure out what's wrong, expecially since nobody seem to have the same problem.

Any help?

I've wine 1.1.43 installed, on Ubuntu Lucid Lunx

It might help if we had some Terminal output:

OK. What's in log.txt?

if the command was supposed to create a log.txt file...well it didn't manage to.

There's no such file in the Zuma's Revenge directory, nor elsewhere.

Any idea?

Everything else I've installed works, including other PopCap games..

The same little square appers on the lower left bout of the screen, but after that the game runs..

You probably have to "escape" the
'
, i.e. replace it with
\'
. The shell expects a closing ', which is indcated by the > at the beginning of the following lines. Escaping avoids that situation.

Type something like:

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programmi/Zuma\'s Revenge <ENTER>

wine ZumaRevenge.exe &> log.txt <ENTER>

Alternatively you may put the argument of the cd-command in "", that also prevents the shell looking for a second '.

something like:

cd "~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programmi/Zuma's Revenge" <ENTER>

I tried renaming the Folder and this time it worked. I got this out of the log.txt file

Bump. Any idea? I'm the worst ignorant when it comes to this kind of things

Or use a shell glob pattern:

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programmi/Zuma?s?Revenge <ENTER>

It's perfectly OK, and frequently useful, to have a glob match
just one name. (? matches any single character.)

You may try older wine versions, Ubuntu packages can be found there:
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
Unfortunately I don't see a Lucid section there, maybe you can go back to the version that comes with Lucid by default.

If the game works in older wine versions and if you are a more advanced user, you may consider running a regression test.
http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting

Please have a look at
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=18454
which is probably the game in question, there seem to be several games in appdb with zuma in its names.

I'd try an older wine version, older Karmic releases should work on Lucid, but do I lose all the software I've installed on Wine already by doing so? Because I have to move the current release first..

I've got a bunch of stuff that I could always re-install, it would be a major PITA..

Wine stores data in a directory called ".wine", all settings, registry entries, etc will be there, installed apps should all be in its subdirs.

The simplest way would be to move/rename the ".wine" directory into e.g. ".wineold". If you then start wine, it will create a new ".wine" directory, where you can install new apps. Later you can move the ".wineold" directory back to ".wine", which will restore the old state of your wine installation.

You can choose the default directory to be used by wine by putting an environment variable before a command, if you'd want to run an app in ".wineold", it would look like

WINEPREFIX=.wineold wine xyz.exe

All this comes without warranty, please be careful with moving or deleting data, and please don't blame me, if something goes wrong.

I forgot to mention, you usually won't lose data by just running an older version of wine, the .wine folder will only be created and filled with default settings, if it doesn't exist alreday. Maybe some settings (winecfg, registry) won't work as expected with older wine.

It still maybe useful to move the old directory and start with a clean new .wine directory to avoid any problems with dll overrides and winetricks settings and other side effects caused by other installed windows apps.

Re-install your video drivers. Also, what video card and version/type
of driver are you using?
