Wolfenstein regression with Wine 1.3

[Eric Fernandez]

Hi,

I have been running Wolfenstein succesfully on my 64-bit Linux system
(both on Mandriva and Archlinux) using Wine 1.2 in 32-bit version.
However, Wine has been upgraded to 1.3.0 version on both systems, and
I cannot run it anymore. I get a dialog when I try to run it saying:
"You're not authorized to run this game!". I use a patched Wolf2.exe
that was working properly with wine 1.2.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

hi, could you run a regression test to identify where the problem is?

Hi,

I can try to do this, although I did not follow the git version, so I
cannot tell with which commit this issue appeared.
I know this might be difficult to know at tjis stage, but do you have
an idea if that dialog "You're not authorized to run this game!" is
part of Wine, or part of the game I am using?

That is not a Wine message.

Does it mean that with wine 1.3 some kind of copy protection now works
whereas it was not working before?

Also, I wanted to say I have been running Wolfenstein as root so far.
Would that change something for wine 1.3 ?

You should never have done that. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-96bebfa ... 78b0d41014

Indeed. I'll retry as user, but I am wondering the problem will still be there.

Don't know. You will have to fix permissions in your .wine directory first.

It is possible that this will fix the problem you describe...

If the problem remains, please run the Regression Test.

There is a page on the Wiki for running Git for Wine:
http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine

Do not run the the make install part, this is not necessary and will
overwrite the Wine 1.3.0 you installed (if you have permissions to write
in the installation directories.)

The purpose of regression testing is precisely to tell in which commit
the issue appeared.
Even if you do not follow the git version per se, wine releases are
just snapshots after a specific
git commits, so you can now, for instance, that it worked with
wine-1.2 and not with wine-1.3.0,
so you can reduce the time necessary for regression testing;

I know this might be difficult to know at tjis stage, but do you have
an idea if that dialog "You're not authorized to run this game!" is
part of Wine, or part of the game I am using?
