Thief 2 crashes after a few minutes

[toaster oven]

Hello everyone. Long time wine user, first time poster.

I've been trying to get Thief 2 to work. It installed without a hitch, and by all accounts runs perfectly, but after about 3 or 4 minutes of game play, it freezes up on me and I have to kill the process.

No amount of googling or studying the appdb entry has been able to help me. It would be much appreciated if someone could give me some insight on this.

Here's some relevant information...
Wine Version: wine-1.2
OS: Fedora 13 x86_64

Console output:

Code: Select all

schedtool -a 0x2 -e wine thief2.exe

I've tried it with schedtool, tasksel, and neither of the two, and I still get the same result.

Anyone have any ideas?

Can you try with the 32 bit version of Wine 1.3.0 which was released on
Friday? It should be available from the Fedora registry by now.

If it is not, I'll ask on Fedora users list how to get it.

It is interesting that you are receiving a thread dead lock as well...

Thanks for the response, James.
I couldn't find a pre-packaged version of 1.3 anywhere for fedora, including the updates-testing repo, so I grabbed the source and compiled it myself. Unfortunately the problem still persists for me in 1.3 with basically the same console output.

The more I tinker with this, the more I want to play Thief 2!
