What may cause this error? I'm trying to run Armored Brigade, which was working perfectly until I upgraded Wine from 1.2.3. to 1.3.24. I can't get sound to work in that game under that version of Wine. I have OSS V4 When I downgrade to 1.2.3. I can't run that game any more as I'm getting a segmentation fault error at start. I have tried uninstalling wine and removing the .wine folder but and installing 1.2.3 but I still get that error. Also, when I have tried running it through play on linux (long time before) or any desktop shortcut I also got that error. So, I have to play it mute in 1.3.24 or not be able to run it at all. I don't understand how it's even possible for something get broken in Wine and stay broken after deleting the .wine folder.

I have OSS V4Try upgrading to 1.3.25. There were many sound fixes made in that release and many more to come in the upcoming 1.3.26 release. James McKenzie
Also, keep in mind that when you upgrade your version of wine and use the same WINEPREFIX to run your program, wine will update your WINEPREFIX, and you cannot simply downgrade wine to run from the same WINEPREFIX. You will need to create a new wineprefix using the older wine and and reinstall your program. If your program runs correctly in a current version of wine but are unsure whether a new version of wine will adversely affect a program that is important to you, you can copy your WINEPREFIX and try out your program from your new WINEPREFIX. If everything is fine, you can delete the old one.

Every time I've done this, my programs always crash when I attempt to use a older version of wine. I make it a habit of naming my WINEPREFIXES now with the wine version that prefix is associated with. Maybe I'm just unlucky.
