           Summary: Gothic crashes on nvidia cards when entering a new level
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.20.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://liandri.mine.nu/testi/gerror.log
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx-ddraw
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: d1m1 at gmx.ch


I start Gothic with default settings(but without Music and without Videos
(renamed $gamedir/_work/DATA/video)).
I can walk around in the world, but when I enter another level (From the outdoor
map you can enter into some cave-maps) like the old mine, the level loads, but
after I make a single step inside the new level, the game crashes (resolution
change, puzzled "screenshot" and after about a minute the game quits)

error messages on stderr, that appear right when the game crashes:
[code]
err:msvcrt:symbol_demangle Unknown operator: _R
[/code]

I tried to complete some code in msvcrt.dll using some tables i found here
http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/~tokigun/article/vcmangle.html, but I have no idea
what i did. The only change was that the unknown operator/type messages
did/could not appear anymore, because msvcrt.dll "knew" them.

I did test gothic with several versions of wine, that use the newer ddraw code
(0.9.16-0.9.20) and I also applied the patch to version 0.9.14 and 0.9.15 and I
always had the same crash then.
The game also crashed on wine 0.9.16 (I did not test it with the newest version
of wine) when I walked around in the world for about 7 minutes without switching
levels. It seems that it can't crash, when I am inside a chat dialog with a NPC,
but it crashes as soon as you leave the chat dialog if time is up.

I did test wine on 2 debian sid systems with different nvidia-cards.

The game does not seem to crash after 7 minutes if you use wine 0.9.14 without
the ddraw patch. As far as I remember the game crashes when switching levels
anyway, but it crashes "faster" - the game quits and the desktop appears after
level loading is complete, so maybe the reason is another.

I could test it on an ubuntu dapper system (wine 0.9.20) with an ati card
(fglrx-drivers) too and the game did not crash when switching levels. I also
heard of 2 other ati card owners that are able to play gothic without such a crash.

My system: debian sid i386, kernel: 2.6.17-1-686 (standard kernel image)
Memory: 1 GB
CPU: Intel P4 3.0 Ghz (Hyperthreding enabled, I thought that the crash maybe
some kind of deadlock that only appears on SMP Systems, but i did also test it
on an AMD 3500 with debian sid i386 with the same result)

wine configuration dll overrides for:
dmband.dll dmime.dll dmloader.dll dmstyle.dll dmsynth.dll dmusic.dll dmcompos.dll
I had to use these on wine >=0.9.19 even with music disabled, to get the game to
run.

Version of Gothic: 1.08k german

nvidia driver version: 8762
