Dune 2000 freezes after a few minutes - Any ideas?

Hi there. I got a problem with good old Dune2000. Installing works fine and the game starts too. After a few minutes of fine gameplay (2-5 minutes

) the game freezes. Before the game freezeses, the cursor runs kinda too fast. It rotates like crazy but the game works normal. Any ideas?

I'am using Linux Mint Helena 8 and Wine 1.2 (now rc 5). And yes, I patched the game to version 1.6 .

I did not noticed the cursor behavior, but I got exactly the same
freeze. I will try to run a regression test.

The error I always got is :

err:seh:setup_exception_record nested exception on signal stack in
thread 002a eip 7efbad10 esp 7ffdbc3c stack 0x8e2000-0xad0000

Please read bug #20380 and bug #15195. This sounds to be the same
problem. It seems that last known working version is 1.1.30.
Can you please confirm ?

After reading the bug #20380, it seems that this is a kernel bug, and it
should be fixed at least in 2.6.34. Which version of the kernel do you
use ?

2.6.31-14-generic. How do I update it?

Probably with your package manager. I don't know your system.
I confirm that the game does not crash with wine-1.1.30.
My kernel version is also 2.6.31. I will update it soon to test this
issue.

Nope. Only the 2.6.31. Too bad Isodora 9 got only 2.6.32. I'll be waiting then

The game does not crash with kernel 2.6.31 patched with commit
a27341cd5fcb7cf2d2d4726e9f324009f7162c00 from kernel.org. So, yes,
crash fixed with kernel 2.6.34.

You can explain the problem and ask for help to upgrade your kernel
on the forums of your distribution [1], or ask the developers to apply
this patch against your current kernel [2].
