Once again I have been trying to get a totally unsupported game to run under Codeweaver...sometimes I have this suspicion that getting something to actually run is half the fun of the game :)
Anyway, I tried to install Ancients of Fasaria and it installed perfectly fine to my surprise (as did MS Visual C++ 2010 and .net 2.0). But when I run it, it gets a memory violation error a few moments after starting. Running it with the log enabled (no special options set) showed the following error.
Here the syslog entries:

fixme:amstream:DirectDrawMediaStreamImpl_IDirectDrawMediaStream_GetFormat (0x20735c)->(0x33fc7c,0x0,0x0,0x0) stub!This is on a MacPro 3,1 on 10.8.3 with a Radeon HD 5870, CrossOver 12.1.2. I faintly remember having seen this exact error on another game I wanted to install not long ago and I wonder whether it is actually a game error or a Wine problem.
Also, this error happens no matter whether I have the experimental Mac Driver enabled or disabled.
