5 years ago First, I suspect you have an older wine version than mine, because my version pulls events using XCheckIfEvent(). Here's my version, what is yours?
$ wine --version
wine-4.0 (Debian 4.0-2)Wine is probably waiting for event that was filtered by libTAS. By enabling Runtime->Debug->Native Events, you loose the capacity to send inputs deterministically, as well as record/playback inputs.
I only tested distorted travesty 3 for now, but I didn't have problems on New Game. I will test other games.

I can almost get Gamemaker8.1 games to be able to be TAS'd (like IWBTB in the first post) in libtas with wine on commit 3f385b3aa2fbd86c9ad93a7e2d6a1ffa6477a522 but it's caught on a few points. fwiw i'm using manjaro, and tested with both a 32bit and 64bit wine prefix.
In the code block below i kept getting the last message repeating infinitely, so I enabled "events" in
Runtime->Debug->Print Categoriesto see what event it was stalling on which is included in the first line:It basically just repeats those two lines until you force stop/kill it.
However I found out I can get past this point by enabling
Runtime->Debug->Native EventsAfter native events is enabled there's spam of tons of different X{} calls if event printing is still enabled, but every gamemaker8.1 game successfully manages to boot up. However it occasionally gets stuck on Frame 1, after going through the normal Loading window if it's enabled, without showing the main window so it needs to be quickly unpaused and paused again to show up.
After unpausing and pausing again it can progress as normal until the game tries to create a save file, or write anywhere i guess. In some games that is clicking on "new game"; others try to create a file near initial startup. When that happens the following messages get spammed in the log about 5 times and hard crashes:
This happens regardless of whether
Runtime->Prevent writing to diskis checked and unchecked.On one of the games where the file doesn't get created until new game is clicked I tested out navigating around the main menu. In hourglass menu movement is done by holding down for one frame and the input is processed on the next frame when it is released. In libTAS it sometimes takes more than 3 frames of holding down the button before it finally processes that it is held down, sometimes 2 frames, sometimes 1, and sometimes it will never work, it's pretty random. Additionally when trying to play back the movie none of the inputs were detected.
Setting audio to ALSA fully disables audio and doesn't improve anything.
Runtime->Recycle Threadsunchecking/checking didn't seem to help at all either.IWBTB doesn't seem to get past frame 2 and just freezes with no further information. Dark blue runs and allows you to enter the game and move around but seems to freeze indefinitely on frame 212 or so regardless of where you are, and input doesn't sync up properly on playback. NANG doesn't detect mouse input which is needed for the main menu but doesn't crash. distorted travesty 3 which is what i've been TASing in hourglass for a while won't crash unless you select new game on the title screen. There's probably an excessive amount more GM8.1 games that can be found on delicious-fruit for testing if needed.
