Hello,
Myself and others have been trying to get Star Citizen to install in
with wine. The first problem that we encountered is that when
SetFileInformationByHandle is called with a class of
FileIoPriorityHintInfo, it is hard coded to return
ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.
This seems reasonable, however when the star citizen installer
encounters that it exits - I'm guessing that it does not check GetLastError.
I have a patch developed by one of my in game org mates, that makes it
return TRUE for this case without actually doing anything other than
report a fixme.
The advice I am seeking is: Should I work up a test to go with it and
submit this patch? I hesitate to do it because the current behavior
seems accurate, and I would be asking far a special case just for a
game I want to play. On the other hand, I don't think that there will
ever be a unix equivalent, and that the OS has done as much as it can,
so maybe it is not a "sin" after all?
I would be thankful for any guidance that can be provided.
Regards,
Greg.
