Riven prison elevator buttons inoperative

[CharlieB]

I have the gog.com version of Riven and it works well for me up to the point where the prison elevator buttons are. The small buttons do nothing when I press them. They are supposed to show as pressed and play a sound when they are clicked on. I tried with wine 1.3.32, 1.2.3 and 1.3.12 and they all do the same thing. The other minor problem I noticed is the pages in the books that are carried sometimes turn 2 pages with 1 mouse click. Not sure if this is related.

I filed a bug report for this at http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29025 but, just my luck, the developer could not duplicate the problem. There is a saved game on the bug report that puts Riven at the elevator.

If someone that is able to make the elevator buttons work would please let me know your settings are in wine I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Charlie

Did you try running it in the terminal to see if anything was
interesting in the log?

If you find something how about posting that on pastbin and linking
here and probably the bug report.

This is all I get from console:

Code: Select all

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f538,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16
fixme:ddraw:ddraw7_WaitForVerticalBlank iface 0x164b20, flags 0x1, event (nil) stub!
fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x199e98,0x186e90): stub

I tried running wine with:

export WINEDEBUG="+event"

And the mouse button down & up events are registered.

Hopefully someone will have a hint on what may be the problem. I am not sure where to go next.

Hi CharlieB,

are you by coincidence using a notebook with/without USB mouse? If so, please try without/with USB mouse. I've seen strange behaviour under linux with some touchpad drivers, sometimes interfering with USB mouses.

Well, actually I am using a desktop computer. I used to have 2 mice connected but have removed one about 2 weeks before running Riven. Could something be set wrong in X?

However, the mouse works fine for every other app except running Win 95 on qemu. The mouse is very sluggish and sometimes misses clicks. That was the reason I removed the 2nd mouse thinking it was the problem but it didn’t help. The mouse works fine with Win 3.1 on qemu, go figure.

By the way Riven is not playable for me on qemu. The sound is very choppy unfortunately.

The problem was LXDE. When running in IceWM the buttons work fine. See the bug report for details.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Thanks for reporting back. I would have never guessed that one..
