Crashes when starting Cutscene by Rüdiger on Friday September 26th 2008, 17:33 Hello, I'm using wine-1.1.5 from the official Wine-Ubuntu rep on a current Ubuntu system. Installation and running the game works fine. But the game crashes when I'm in the garage opening the door of the shack. I guess a cutscene starts here. How can I solve this problem? I get the following error message: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x04c00060 in 32-bit code (0x004bdb37).

• RE: Crashes when starting Cutscene by jamie on Saturday October 25th 2008, 23:41

got it working on 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 by Mat Banks on Saturday September 20th 2008, 5:57 i installed this the other day on 1.1.4, i had to use wine eject though, but other than that it installed fine i also installed the 1.01 patch and a no-cd fix, the game worked with alsa and oss sound on 1.1.4 but will hang on 1.1.5 using alsa, oss is ok though cutscenes work fine but on my widescreen laptop i cant see the bottom of the screen, so i have to run it in a wine window im using kubuntu and used envyng to get the gfx drivers, im using the nvidia-glx-new-envy_173.14.12 driver in case thats useful to anyone [post new] [reply to this]

Better result under Wine 1.1.4 by Ben Slackin on Saturday September 6th 2008, 13:27 I've just tried Wine 1.1.4 and now the game seems more stable. I played for about 30 minutes without a crash. It looks like I still need to use a virtual window and OSS instead of Alsa, however. One problem that is new is that I'm unable to use the keyboard in the menu system, so for instance, I can't enter a name for a save game. [post new] [reply to this]

by Ben Slackin on Tuesday September 2nd 2008, 12:45 Okey dokey, I've tried with an older, stabler nVidia driver. And I've tried with emulate a virtual desktop. And I still get the same results, this is what happens: % cd ~/wine % mkdir -p grim/mnt % cd grim % sudo mount /dev/dvd1 mnt mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only % WINEPREFIX=~/wine/grim ~/wine/src/wine/programs/winecfg/winecfg # set Applications Settings/Default Settings to Windows 98 # set screen resolution to 160dpi # set Emulate a virtual desktop (800x600) # set Audio/Sound Drivers/ALSA Driver on % WINEPREFIX=~/wine/grim ~/wine/src/wine/wine mnt/setup # set install directory to c:/grim (i.e. ~/wine/grim/drive-c/grim) # Setup Type: Complete installation (30MB) # on the directX screen the checkbox for installation is checked but # when I hit Next, It tells me: # "You have chosen not not install DirectX... Then the launcher program for grim comes up and the top button is labeled "Install Grim Fandango", I click on it and it hangs. [post new] [reply to this]

I can't even install by Ben Slackin on Monday September 1st 2008, 11:18 (I'm running Wine 1.1.3 on Ubuntu 8.04) I was glad to see a gold rating for good old Grim Fandango, but I've been completely unsuccessful even getting it to install. Here's what I did. % mkdir -p ~/wine/grim/mnt % sudo mount /dev/cdrom ~/wine/grim/mnt % cd wine/grim % WINEPREFIX=~/wine/grim wine mnt/setup I go through the setup screens, tell it to install to c:\grim. When I get to the screen for installing directx, I click next, and the installer tells me I chose not to install directx, even though the checkbox for installing it was clearly checked on the previous screen. When the grim fandango launcher window pops up, the top button is "Install Grim Fandango", not "Play Grim Fandango". When I click on it, it just hangs. If I try to run the directx/dxinfo.exe off the CD, it tells me that a number of files are missing. So I try to manually run directx/dxsetup.exe, and it tells me that directx was successfully installed, but dxinfo returns the same result, i.e. missing files, and the game still won't play. I'm pretty lost. If anyone could write up instructions on how to get it install, that would be great. [post new] [reply to this]

Stops working the first time I hit a key by David Carlton on Thursday July 10th 2008, 0:20 I've successfully installed the game, and can watch the intro, but I can't actually move anywhere after the intro. (Once I got the first arrow key to register, but nothing after that.) This happens every time; during the cut scene, I can hit F1 to get to a menu, but no keystrokes register there, either. Any suggestions? Ubuntu 8.04, wine 1.1.0 installed from the repository, running on an x86_64 machine. I found one page mentioning that " You may sometime find that all keys don't work, just click the game window and it should start working again.", but clicking on the game window doesn't help me at all.

Black Screen by Ivan Simeon on Monday June 30th 2008, 15:06 I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 1.1.0 with Grim Fandango patch 1.01 but when i start it it shows only a black screen. Sound is working. I get a picture on a split second only when i exit the game. [post new] [reply to this]

Grim Fandango Launcher by Harrison Chapman on Wednesday March 19th 2008, 12:47 If you find the Grim Fandango Launcher program (Which is absolutely excellent and you should use it with the game no matter what,) There is a "Run from Hard Disk" option which automatically copies all the files from the CDs to the installation directory. It also lets you run in windowed mode, which works for me (although the window isn't managed.. atleast it doesn't get any decoration from my WM. Oh, but the sound still randomly freezes (and this happened in windows XP too without a cheap hack) [post new] [reply to this]

Can't even start it! by Foe on Monday July 17th 2006, 6:41 Ok, ok, I know I'm not an expert on wine, actually I just started playing with it, and I was trying to get this game to work: installation went fine, but apparently there is no way of starting the game, it just keeps asking if I want to install it. I guess it is because it cannot find the directx installed. I used the directx executable that got installed in the grim folder and it shows that no dlls are installed... got any suggestions? Sorry for the probably silly question! Foe [post new] [reply to this]

Working with 0.9.6 by Thomas B. on Tuesday January 24th 2006, 11:52 With Wine 0.9.6 the game works quite well excect the sound warnings which sometimes result in crashes. [post new] [reply to this]

Works fine (with a few minor adjustments) by covox on Saturday November 19th 2005, 23:42 Grim Fandango works fine under 0.9.1, just. Some points: - Make sure that hardware acceleration is turned OFF. You don't really need it and it just makes things slow. - I got mine working by applying a no-cd crack (the EVC_GRIM.COM one can be applied using DOSBox), then copying all the data000*.lab, vox000*.lab and year*mus.lab from both CDs to the Grim Fandango folder. - If you copy the movie0*.lab files, movies -MIGHT- work but there'll be plenty of times that Grim Fandango will crash. For me this was at the very end of the start animation, and whenever you knocked on Glottis' door. Hope that helps. Keep fighting the good fight guys. [post new] [reply to this]

Some (minor) problems by D. Vater on Saturday November 5th 2005, 9:45 I am trying to get Grim Fandango to work with Wine 0.9 First of all I have to turn on 'Software Rendering' because hardware D3D is so slow it's unplayable. Perhaps this has something to do with it?: Warning : application does direct locking of ZBuffer - expect slowdowns on many GL implementations :-) The above is not such a huge problem, it is however pretty nasty that every time I quit Fandango, wine crashes on exit. Some sound problem? err:dsound:DSOUND_MixOne underrun on sound buffer 0x403f43c8 fixme:dsound:DSOUND_MixOne problem with underrun detection (mixlen=15960 < primary_done=18200) Backtrace: =>1 0x417cb951 in dsound (+0x1b951) (0x406bf6ec) 2 0x004c0fe8 in grimfandango (+0xc0fe8) (0x00000000) 0x417cb951: movl 0x8(%eax),%edi I get the 'buffer underrun' a lot during gameplay as well; doesn't matter if I use ALSA or OSS.
