Wine Crashing

Post by FlimsyMax »

I tried to run Halo: combat evolved on Wine today, and I got an error message, saying that I was missing a certain dll package. After downloading this package, I tried again, but the window just opened, and then crashed right away.
I get this message in the terminal when I try to run the game.

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x000000f9 at address 0x7ee2f77e (thread 001e), starting debugger...

I run OpenSuse 11.4 and the latest version of wine

Any way to fix this?

Is it possibly related to downloading the dll?

If it is a microsoft dll yes. These in a lot of cases need to be
properly installed.

winetricks helps with this for a lot of microsoft redistributable packages.

When I enter the winetricks menu, and I go to 'Install a Game' the game I'm using isn't listed, so I can't figure out the proper way to download the dll

What dll are you trying to install?

I am not familiar with that one. I do not think this is a microsoft
dll. That dll most likely comes with the software that you are trying
to install.

The only useless message I see in this thread is yours. Politeness is always welcome.
