wine users - Jun 2008 - Some hooks in 3 Star Wars games

Despite being somewhat benign, because technically the rest of the content of
the games work, these hooks make them quite unplayable because they are related
to important parts of the games.

Tie Fighter (collector's edition): the game crashes when you try to look at
the inflight menus :
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6923&iTestingId=19464

X-Wing Alliance: The game loses focus when you begin a campaign game :
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2916&iTestingId=25285

Empire At War : When I load the game, audio crashes pretty much as if your
computer would freeze and the audio stutters until you reboot :
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7955&iTestingId=22573

Empire At War : Forces of Corruption: No text at startup, reported by me here:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8674&iTestingId=27394


Because some of these games are fairly old, there is probably only a few users
else than me which uses them. I am aware that the Wine developers are probably
very busy with other stuff, therefore I was wondering if I could have any help
on how to create solutions for these issues. Is it possible for me, despite that
I do not have any knowledge of coding, to fix these issues by myself?

Thanks!

You need to file bug reports in bugzilla http://bugs.winehq.org if you or
someone else hasn't already.

Bug reports are easy to do, 



Some things to keep in mind, search the existing bugs for the name of the app
you are reporting a bug for or the symptoms you get.  If you're unsure if
something has already been reported, report it anyway and it might be marked
duplicate of an existing report by one of the admins.





When filing a report, select the wine version you tested with.  In the summary
field, you might say something like: "Doom main menu is upsidedown" -
so that anyone who just looks at the subject can get a reasonable idea of what
it's about.



In the description field, describe the steps required to reproduce the problem,
"cd to install directory, wine doom.exe and then the menu displays
upsidedown"



attach any console output and provide a link to a demo if there's one that
has the same issues.



If any more information is required beyond that then you will be asked to
provide it.

Done.

The X-Wing alliance bug was already reported, and seems to affect many other
games as well : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8854
