Many games failing to load

[iguanatamer]

Hi,

I have been having issues with a few titles not loading after converting them with repackinator. I am using the linux cli version. The games that are not working are 007 Nightfire, Counter-Strike, Farcry Instincts, Farcry instincts Evolution and Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green

[iguanatamer]

Tried the UI version too after having to symlink a library and it still didn't work. The ISO MD5s were different though. I did not scrub them.

I have had the same problem, with both the 1.1 and the 1.1.1 versions of repackinatorui for windows (run by an intel mac under parallels) with the following games:

ounterstrike crimson skies midtown madness 3 phantasy star online Star WARS BATTLEFRONT Steel battalion line of contact unreal championship

As a test, I took the output from Crimson Skies, and tried it, I received a dirty disk error. I then replaced the default.xbe with a fresh renamed attach.xbe I obtained from driveimageutil 1.0,1 and the iso files played. Hopefully that helps narrow the search for the bug down somewhat.

I just tried doing counterstrike using repackinator unscrubbed image

Name: COUNTER-STRIKE (USA-JPN).1.iso Size: 3709681664 bytes (3537 MiB) SHA256: 34BD84027D141F303E422A9703CD8F40C9F332736CE64DA57860B6139B971E65

Name: COUNTER-STRIKE (USA-JPN).2.iso Size: 3709681664 bytes (3537 MiB) SHA256: ADE4CECB274FE80232497DFA7EF2E597A166BFE78AB63C21FCFD21B00A5C85E2

Tested on a freshly formatted hdd & booted right up.

No Dirty Disk error or anything.

Running lastest Repackinator 1.1.1 as of 11-24-2022

Only one I've had trouble with so far is Counter-Strike. Dirty disc error on launch.

Although I have also tested Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, including Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2, Phantasy Star Online as per other reports here, and found those to be working fine.

@CaptMoore @iguanatamer

Have you tried clearing your saved games?

@mjkthirdeye was able to get counterstrike working once he removed the save game.

[mjkthirdeye]

Thanks to quite a good bit of troubleshooting and help from @HoRnEyDvL, I did manage to get Counter-Strike to load by deleting the game's save data.

What I didn't realize at the time that I reported that finding, however, is that I had also removed the installed DLC along with it. This is now what I believe was actually causing my problem, since copying the old save data back over afterwards didn't seem to affect it.

Having done some more testing. I have found that the problem seems to be caused by the presence of the default.xbe installed by the DLC installer which is found in E/TDATA/4d530036/$u/

If I remove it, the game loads and plays fine. If I reinstall it, the game fails to load. Also, if try to launch the DLC's default.xbe with the Counter-Strike ISO mounted, I get the same dirty disc error.

[iguanatamer]

Still no luck, deleting the saves did not fix the issue. I am on cerbios 2.1.0 Beta and I am using the latest XBMC4Gamers.

The SHA256 values match the isos so that's not the problem. Here is the SHA256 of the default.xbe launcher for counterstike: 14dfdb74298b65c66ccbfda194f617839580cae71ceb7416d7c939cddebf1b15

Could the issue derive from a setting in the bios? Also tried using the UDMA5 Bios and regular bios with no luck.

Can confirm. Halo 2 just went black screen and then rebooted to dashboard. Replace the attacher with driveimageutil's one solve the problem.

[HoRnEyDvL]

Ok will look deeper into this issue & return back to you shortly.

[HoRnEyDvL]

Multiple sources have confirmed that issue is resolved with latest builds.

[iguanatamer]

Still having issues. Land of the dead: road to fiddlers green still does not load.
