wine users - Jun 2011 - Wine 64Bits vs Wine 32Bits

Hi,

Actually, i install my games into two differents prefix, once in the 32bits
prefix and the 64bits prefix.

For my test, i tried to install 3 games :
- F.E.A.R 
- Mass Effect 1
- Runaway : A Twist Of Fate

F.E.A.R : 
No problem with the 32bits wineprefix but impossible to install in the 64Bits
Wineprefix... It's a joke because in the CD, it's write that the game
works on XP 64Bits. I could write here the output message in my console.

32Bits = Install Ok, Runs Ok
64Bits = Install fails

Mass Effect 1 
No problem in Wineprefix 32/64bits, the game works correctly. Even if the
graphic quality in 64Bits is inferior than 32Bits

32Bits = Install Ok, Runs Ok
64Bits = Install Ok, Runs Ok

Runaway : A Twist Of Fate 
For this game, it's very very strange.
With the two versions of wineprefix, the installation is complete and works
completly.
The problem come from when i launch the game : 
- When i add a CDROM drive in Winecfg, the game works completly without crack
with the DVD in my DVD Drive in the 32bits wineprefix.
- I did the same thing in winecfg for the 64bits wineprefix but impossible to
launch the game with the DVD, i must to use a No-CD crack.

The game use Securom, it seems that the bug
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7065 still exist for Wine64. I can make
a mistake

Thank you for having read my message and bringing your ideas

I maybe mistaken, but doesn't the 64bit version of wine only run 64bit
binaries? So whilst an application may support 64bit versions of windows, it
doesn't mean the app itself is 64bit. I'd say F.E.A.R is probably a
32bit only binary that happens to be supported on XP 64bit.

But maybe I am incorrect and wine64 can in fact run 32bit binaries.
