Hi, I'm trying to run the game Fallout with wine (version 0.9.29), and after a short while, the game freezes. This is the output of wine: $ wine ./falloutw.exe err:reg:SCSI_getprocentry SCSI type line scan count error (fscanf returns 1, expected 2) ALSA lib conf.c:3939:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib control.c:910:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0 ALSA lib conf.c:3939:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0 ALSA lib control.c:910:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0 fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance Untranslated charset 228 fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetAvailableTextureMem (0x16e1d8) : stub, simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB left fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x166508)->(0x20024,00000011) fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8 fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE so far, so good, this is about when the game starts. then, the game freezes, and I get this: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x16be94 "WINEALSA_mmap_crst" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x16be94 "WINEALSA_mmap_crst" wait timed out in thread 000e, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x16be94 "WINEALSA_mmap_crst" wait timed out in thread 000f, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec) the game window is now frozen. after a while, it closes, and the following lines are shown on the console: wine: Critical section 0016be94 wait failed at address 0x7efae0d0 (thread 000e), starting debugger...
