           Summary: Stronghold 2 - Does not start
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.28
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Hello,

I have an issue with running the game Stronghold 2. The game installs without
problem, the graphic settings UI invokes but then the program just sits in
memory chugging along at 2-3% cpu until it is halted in the system monitor.

I have the original CD version of the game, V1.0.
I have tried updating the game to v1.2, v1.4 and v1.41 and running each and I
have the same problem.

I have tried using different versions of the game namely stronghold 2 deluxe
from the internet, albeit a modified copy from some dark corner of the planet
but this too also seems to suspend in load starting.

I have tried installing d3dx9, vcrun..... etc.. from 'none at all' to 'all at
once' and find no joy here.

This above was all aboard - Kubuntu 14.04 x64 with Wine versions 1.6 or 1.7.28  

Presently I have much time and hard disk space so the following tedium was then
intended to engage and amuze me, unfortunately with little success.

I have installed Kubuntu 14.04 x86 and tried running the program from there,
also the same outcome. I tried running the program from a drive formatted
Fat32, no success ( there is a dll in the game folder called foldercheck.dll or
similar?!)

I am almost certain I remember playing this game through Wine very recently and
APPdb would suggest no reason against this... so I am at a loss.

Also I tried the older FGLRX drivers opposed to the FGLRX-updates. (ATI 6850)

Also I tried standing upside down with a yoghurt balanced on my nose.

It does not work.

(QUAD-CORE AMD 4170 3.5GHZ CPU)
(MOUSE AND KEYBOARD)

(SAMSUNG 37inch 720p HDTV won't go above 30hz refresh, but that is a resolution
option in the GUI) 

pppft
