Ok, I found out that, if I disable most of the fixes of H.Sie through the HsieOptionsSelector.exe, the game doesn't crash. Might be that a specific fix is causing issues. Will probably spend the afternoon enabling fixes until I find one that crashes the game.


Edit: It did take quite a while, but not the whole afternoon. I have determined that the problem lies in the Diesel Damage Fix. Which is unfortunate, because it is a fix I would like to have in my game. Do you have any recommendation on what to do?


Edit2:

Hi h.sie,

your "Diesel Damage Fix" is 100% o.k. I'm using it since releas of patch V16B1 without any problems. It's exactly as BL!TZKR!EG wrote the changed "msvcr71.dll" which causes the reported CTDs. I've changed that dll to the original msvcr71.dll from Stock-SH3 and the "Diesel Damage Fix" is running well. Hope this will be fixed by the LSH3-Team.

Greetings

This post at https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...=220285&page=2 seems to indicate that I should replace msvcr71.dll with the original. Will do that and see what happens.


Edit3: Ok, I'm stupid. I noticed the files didn't do anything, then I remembered that I had to tell wine to use the native msvcr71 library (as indicated by the second guide I linked here). Now the patch works without crashing. Will now try using more mods.

System information:
    Wine build: wine-4.0 (Debian 4.0-2)
    Platform: i386 (WOW64)
    Version: Windows 7
    Host system: Linux
    Host version: 4.19.0-12-amd64

The problem with this instruction:

repne scasb    %es:(%edi)

I think is that it tries to indirectly address %edi, rather than register addressing it. So instead of using the data in %edi as an offset in a memory segment, it treats the data contained in %edi as an address to the memory location of that offset. Since %edi contains 0x00000000, the computer tries to access 0x00000000 to access that offset, which is invalid and therefore segfaults. I don't know how that occurred (and disassembling the previous instructions probably won't help, because I wouldn't grasp what was happening and why and how it could be fixed)

Looks like msvcr71 is problematic again. Disabling H.sie patch gives the same result. It should be 4GB patched and it crashes somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 of the loading bar. Since I haven't ever started a career before, I'll have to test different setups to see if the problem lies in SH3, GWX, the mods, or Commander.
Does the part with the compatibility mode also apply to Wine? I always regarded Wine as being able to run legacy and new software alike.
