Description Ryan Farmer 2017-06-05 22:02:28 UTC
Created attachment 1285164 [details]
Backtrace generated by Wine. (After installing required Gstreamer Plugins. Winegstreamer enabled. Game crashes.)

Description of problem:

When I run the video game "The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion" with all of the necessary Gstreamer plugins (from RPM Fusion) installed, it makes it through the opening logo screens and then crashes. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.9 Staging


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install all necessary i686 Gstreamer plugins (Requires RPM Fusion.)
2. Install The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion from Gog.com. (Probably affects other software.)
3. Try to run the game.

Actual results:

Game crashes after developer credits/logos. Terminal output and Wine's generated backtrace will be attached to this bug.


Expected results:

The game loads and I can waste hours of my life performing quests and slaying various creatures in the realm of Cyrodiil.


Additional info:

This bug is also filed in WineHQ's Bugzilla, but it seems to be specific to Fedora's package.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43137

Workaround: Open Winecfg and set a dll override for winegstreamer and set the override entry to "disabled".

Fedora uses wine-staging patches. No extra patches are applied. Please check the version of gstreamer1 (1.12.0 in F26) compared to those with it working.

One of the comments in the WineHQ bug suggested that this issue might be a duplicate of this bug from 2009 where Oblivion will crash if Wine is compiled without mpg123.

Since Fedora Legal has given the go ahead for full MP3 support in Fedora 26, can Wine be built with mpg123 library if it is not being done that way now?

Comment 4 Michael Cronenworth 2017-06-17 15:35:36 UTC
Wine is compiled with mpg123. All Fedora packages were changed at the time the patent expired.

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wine.git/tree/wine.spec#n141

$ rpm -q wine-core.x86_64 --requires | grep mpg123
libmpg123.so.0()(64bit)

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:43:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:20:18 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
