Midnight club 2 demo thinks its resource files don't exist

[InfamousKnight]

Before I begin, I want to say I made more progress with this game than cat planet in terms of functionality. This one doesn't show a crash log. Make sure to set a virtual screen in winetricks. Otherwise it will go fullscreen. And we don't want that.

[clementgallet]

Try disabling Recycle threads.

[InfamousKnight]

Ok, now a black screen appears. Attempt #1 connects now. Like before, it goes up 6 frames. That long list of "hookmen" is probably because its a demo and they stripped those files out. Ill send out the log later if you need it. So excited to getting this to work! Im grateful that this much progress has been made.

Anyways, I did set driver to opengl and Im now sure if thats the problem or how to revert it in winetricks.

[clementgallet]

It looks like it is uncompressing some archive. You may need to disable Prevent writing to disk.

You are pasting a log, but you didn't say what is going on. Is the game crashing, or softlocking? Can you frame advance normally?

Also, wine is itself outputting a lot of messages. In the future, you should run the game natively with wine, and print here what differs between native wine and libTAS.

[InfamousKnight]

Its softlocking. I cant frame advance. It only goes up 6 frames. Running it natively works.

And how would I output a backtrace with wine?

[InfamousKnight]

Btw, I have tried disabling prevent writing to disk, and it still softlocked 6 frames in.

Also, if I run wine [exe path] to midnight club 2 demo, it would crash there outside of libtas. Double clicking the icon opens it just fine...

[InfamousKnight]

Alright, it still advances 6 frames, then softlocks. Ends with Playing some audio file, which never seems to happen. I made sure alsa was enabled in winetricks as well as virtual desktop disabled. Like I said, if I run wine through the terminal, it will give an error. Double clicking the icon works fine though.

Any ideas?

[clementgallet]

I tested it, and could get past the 6 frames using Runtime > Debug > Uncontrolled time. It looks like the event loop and the rendering code are in separate threads, so there's a problem of time handling.

[InfamousKnight]

I tested it with the above settings too, and it works! I would imagine it would desync if I made a movie with it though. It runs pretty good too on my machine. Much easier to control with libtas where native its very sensitive.

[InfamousKnight]

To get further past 6 frames without debug, Runtime-timetracking-clockgettime and sdl-getticks will make it go up 3 more frames and then softlock by changing the main thread. That's as far as I got.

[clementgallet]

It runs by setting Runtime > Debug > Keep main first thread and Runtime > Time tracking > clock_gettime(). There are still problems with mouse inputs, and savestates crash

[InfamousKnight]

Thanks, works well on my end. Should we close the issue now?

[InfamousKnight]

Looking at this again, and the demo doesn't even run outside of libtas

[InfamousKnight]

Bump libtas version 0444e5fd and running this again with the settings above, the OSD is completely missing, and inputs are not being registered at all. Including hotkeys like frame advance. Enabling Uncontrolled time has the game run fine as before.

Using wine 5.0 on Ubuntu 20.04

[clementgallet]

Wine is at unsupported state, due to how difficult it is to debug, as well as to maintain through updates.
