Describe the bug
The program should start by starting WinWelt.exe as it does on W98, but instead it takes a while and responds the way seen below.
Expected behavior
The geography learning game should open in fullscreen and show a worldmap with all countries highligted in different colors.
Screenshots
Environment (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 11 23H2, Windows 10 22H2 64 Bit
- Version Newest as seen above.
Additional context
This game for some time was just sitting on my HDD after I got it from school about 20 years ago. I verified the game works fine with a Windows 98 SE setup inside 86Box and it works perfect. I will add a trace.txt, but the software is mixed 16 Bit and 32 Bit apps, so likely it won't be of much use... I created your WINEDEBUG as systemwide env var to get more output off the console window though. This one is waaaaay longer. The game can be found in here, too: https://starfox-page.de/reactos/ek.zip
It is very helpful to provide a trace file if possible.
Please note that this file contains detailed information about the program.
Procedure
- Run the command prompt.
- Set the environment variable:
set WINEDEBUG=+all,-snoop,-ldt,-fixup,-module,-global,-local,-disasm,-syslevel,-thunk*old-executable-file* 2> trace.txt- Upload trace.txt here.
trace.txt
trace2.txt
Winevdm mangles window class names which breaks this. To work around it you can run tb60_16r.exe and put winwelt.exe into the open file dialog. A real fix will be difficult.
Well, that's way more than I expected :D This way it works quite nicely. Should I add a lil graphical nitpick in here, or make a new report?
It's more just a picture showing the problem:
These and a few more graphics are rendered incorrectly. Looks a bit like only the transparency mask is shown?
On exit looks a bit too dotted, too.
This is all I found after a few playthroughs, rest works PERFECT!
You should make a new report but I can't repo it so it'll be hard to fix (for me).
Interesting... OK, in that case I will try around a bit more and on other hardware, too. If I still can reproduce this on some other device, I will open a report. Until then.... Thanks for the trick to successfully open it :D
