A perhaps poorly labeled record of exactly what happed.

I typed "wine explorer /desktop=wine,1024x600 C:\\Program Files\\Ubisoft\\Heroes of Might and Magic V\\Demo\\bin\\H5_Game.exe" into terminal and the window I requested appears, first the default blue, then it turns black. Wine  said that it could not open types.xml, calling lots of statements "stub!" and also that it was debugging. I waited for a long while before it said what the problem was (with lots of what I recognized as machine code) and the window turned back to its default blue and closed.

Comment 1 Dmitry Timoshkov 2010-02-18 06:59:51 UTC

First thing to do is to test with latest Wine release, today it's 1.1.38

Also, is there any reason you run in a virtual desktop and not from the app's
directory?

Comment 2 scott 2010-02-18 13:37:16 UTC

I tried to run it outside the virtual desktop first but some very weird things happened. A sort of mutated desktop appeared. The panels had expanded massivly and the only icon on my desktop was for Heroes of Might and Magic V, and i didn't have that one in the first place. 

I will see about getting a newer version of wine.

Comment 3 scott 2010-02-18 17:14:56 UTC

It (sort of) works on the new version. Now I just have to get past the title page...

The retail game and the demo have been reported to work well : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3233

Is this still an issue in current git? (1.3.1)

Comment 6 Austin English 2011-02-16 17:15:55 UTC

I can confirm this in the demo. The game starts, you get a splash screen, it changes your screen resolution, but never takes focus.

Terminal shows
austin@aw21 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ubisoft/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Demo/bin $ wine H5_Game.exe 
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f92c,0x00000000), stub!

then I get a flood of fixme:d3d:query_init Unhandled query type 0x4.

Using a virtual desktop works around it.

Looked a bit strange, so I tried manually setting VideoMemorySize in the registry, but that did not help.

Comment 8 Xavier Vachon 2012-02-08 06:37:40 UTC

The demo works very well for me in current wine (1.4-rc2), arch linux X64 and NVIDIA hardware. Can someone else confirm?

You mean comment #6, right?

I forgot to say, the game does not get focus when the Ubisoft intro video begins to play, but I can get the focus back by tabbing to the game. Afterwards I am able to start a scenario and play the game. I have not tested with a virtual desktop.

Comment 11 Andrey Gusev 2013-12-10 04:31:01 UTC

Runs now in 1.7.8

Yes, I can confirm it is working very well too.

Comment 13 Alexandre Julliard 2013-12-20 12:44:02 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.9.
