fixme's aren't an error... was there an error dialog or something, too?

> fixme's aren't an error... was there an error dialog or something, too?

Of course. Yes, it pops up an error dialog with the "Couldn't get the string value.." dialog. A simple ok dismisses it, but of course, that shouldn't happen.

Disabling gameux works around it and avoids the extra dialog.

Comment 3 NSLW 2010-11-06 12:41:52 UTC

The same fixmes are displayed after CIV4 installation but without any error.

Comment 4 Dan Kegel 2010-11-30 12:54:49 UTC

Star Trek Online's installer also puts up an 
"Unable to register with games exporer"
dialog.

Comment 5 butraxz 2013-06-30 08:55:00 UTC

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. 

Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc4 or higher or is this to be closed as abandoned ?

Comment 6 Austin English 2013-07-01 04:19:02 UTC

gameux hasn't had any functional changes in a while, so yeah, it is still present.

Comment 7 Nikolay Sivov 2013-12-09 13:46:50 UTC

Austin, could you attach +gameux,+tid log? Let's figure out at what point it fails at least.

Comment 8 Austin English 2013-12-11 05:14:49 UTC

Fixed, actually. It was fixed by 2f0b9dd3bfa3820abd89846d45eb78578b627b3b

Comment 9 Alexandre Julliard 2013-12-20 12:43:35 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.9.
