wine users - Apr 2008 - Failure to startup BF1942

Hi all,

I'm having some problems getting BF1942 up and running. 

Some system info first
Gentoo installation on a AMD64 running linux 2.6.24. 
Using the ~ builds, so I get a Wine update every 2 days now [Wink]. So I'm
using Wine 0.9.59 and it was build with the following properties
Code:
"X alsa cups esd gecko jpeg ldap ncurses opengl oss xml -dbus -hal -jack
-lcms -nas -samba -scanner"



The installation was a blast and the upgrade went just fine, but running the
game is a complete different story.


Code:
wildcard at amd64 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 1942 $
winedbg BF1942.exe
WineDbg starting on pid 0017
0x7ee43830: movl        %esi,0x0(%esp)
Wine-dbg>    



Ok. So to me it looks like a null pointer to me (or something). If you running
it with "wine BF1942.exe", you will see anything at all.

I do think it's NOT related to the game itself but to some settings of Wine.
When I was searching the web, I found that somebody else has got the same issue
I have, but with a different game:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=147

Does anybody have a bright idea on what to do next. More tracing in winedbg,
wine in gdb??

Best regards,
Michel

press c to start execution, execution is paused when you start winedbg like
that.

on another note, bf1942 works for me with latest git from an existing wineprefix
that I installed a few versions ago

I start the game with: 
BlackScreen.exe 1 +game bf1942 +restart 1 +joinServer 203.14.173.130:14567
+isInternet 1 +reconnectPassword 2217


which video card and drivers do you have?
