#9301 assigned bug

Corum III don't work in Haiku.

Component: Kits/Media Kit Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Corum III Cc:

Platform: x86

Description

Corum III is a commercial game for BeOS. I have a demo version. This game was distributed by Gobe Software.

Videos do not work. You can hear the sound, but instead of the image are artifacts. When the videos are gone, in the game window is a black image. Nothing more. When you close an application crash occurs.

I tried to play in the Alpha 2, 3, and now 4.1.

Corum III crashes with memory allocation corruption when video skipped.

comment:2 by AGMS, 10 years ago

I tried running and installing Corum III (the full commercial version from Gobe) in Haiku hrev48961 (March 30 2015). It just goes into an infinite loop when run off the CD (one CPU at 100%). The installer does work nicely, and I installed the full version to the Home directory. When run off the hard drive, it does start up and displays the title video (including sound). However, it crashes after the video finishes, in AVCodecDecoder. If you skip the video by pressing ESC, the window fills with binary garbage (black with white vertical stripes) and it then crashes in BDirectWindow's daemon, doing a memory allocation. Both crashes are repeatable.

Please save a debug report from Debugger instead of including a screenshot, so we get all the useful information to debug the problem.

I confirm that the crash with the video is still here.

I investigated the first one (with the videos) a bit. There are two threads crashing at the same time, actually ("game" and "artist"). I looked at the "game" thread, which, at this stage, is decoding the videos.

The first video is the NGE logo and is in 320x240 resolution. The second video should be the Hicom logo and this one is a 640x480 one. We are decoding it to RGBA32, meaning the result should be of size 1228800 (640x480x4) per frame. But, the allocated buffer is smaller than that. I would guess 640x480x1 = 307200 bytes (the crash happens after copying 355688 bytes, at a page boundary close to that). Probably the overwriting of stuff in the page after the buffer makes other things crash.

However, I tried tracing this inside BMediaTrack, and as far as I can see, BMediaTrack::DecodedFormat is never called. Which means the codec is free to pick whichever format it is happy with. It just seems the Indeo codec in BeOS did not default to the same thing as our ffmpeg codec, and the game does not take that into account and hardcodes the size of the buffer?

I tried removing the "movies" directory from the data (you can also do this by using the "minimal install" in the installer or using the "no movies" pkg to save on download size :) ). In that case I get image logos instead of the videos, and then I get a frozen black window.

Tested on Haiku R1B3 (hrev55181+55 x86_gcc2) with Corum III v1.1.0. Same issue with crash after playing AVI intro movie file. Disabling movie folder will show another intro video and then lead to the black window - of no return...

Seems to hit a guarded page area.

Update on hrev58097 x86_gcc2:

Retesting Corum III v1.1.0 (Dec 18, 1999).

Note:

Using MediaPlayer, I can play all Corum III AVI movies with sound. No issues. Seems a legacy compatibility API issue (i.e. AVI decode playback, BPrivateGame*) with Corum III w/ BeOS 5.0.3 Pro versus on Haiku x86_gcc2.

Mentions "full screen mode [1920x1080]" not compatible with graphics hardware. Return to desktop in highest screen mode (1920x1080), not the original screen settings) Seems 1920x1080 is too high a resolution.
