Tomb Raider - Underworld crashes on startup.

This is a regression as it used to run fine.

May or may not be related to #26356 which it also currently suffers from.

Wine compiled from git as of wine-1.3.18-85-g99f6894

Corrected Importance - sorry

Comment 2 Ken Sharp 2011-04-20 10:57:46 UTC

You need to install debug symbols and get a new trace, and run a regression test.

Will do it tonight. Thanks, Ken

Comment 4 Ralph Little 2011-04-21 16:00:37 UTC

I don't think that this crash is caused by a regression.
I had disabled PulseAudio to allow some other games to play and that caused Tomb Raider to crash in fmodex.dll which I believe is an audio support library accompanying the game.

Taking Wine back to the beginning of the year, I could not get it to work at all without the crash. Re-enabling PulseAudio makes it work. Bizarre.

Not quite sure whether to close this or not.
It would seem that the issue occurs only using native Alsa which I assume is what is being used when Pulse is not running. Certainly other wine applications that I have will only produce audio with Pulse stopped.

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends
to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.

Is this still an issue with 1.7.4 or higher ?

Comment 6 Ralph Little 2013-10-18 13:46:57 UTC

I will try to give it a go tonight and let you know.
I have not run the game for some time.

Comment 7 Ralph Little 2013-10-18 23:00:05 UTC

I can declare this bug well and truly squashed.
Audio is great with both PulseAudio and ALSA.

And might I say it looks friggin' awesome now? 
Performance is great and the flame effects at the beginning sequences which were pretty awful look brilliant now.

Great work you guys. I love ya'!

Comment 8 Ralph Little 2013-11-12 10:54:24 UTC

All seems to work fine.
I don't know which update fixed the issue as I had not played the games for a while, but as per my last comment it all seems to work fine now.

Comment 9 Alexandre Julliard 2013-11-22 12:51:20 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.7.
