1.29.0.13 - Game does not start under wine

[Tigger6]

This is a very unfortunate bug for me. The game does not even start to load, dies without a bug reported a second after start. Is it possible to enable some debug message dumping? So I have a vague idea where the problem is? I'd have to unsubscribe if it stays.

[palmuzz]

Same problem... I click all of .exe of the game into the directory and via startup. The game doesn't load...

[Tigger6]

Hm. That's not good. I had this happen once or twice with 1.28, but then it magically corrected itself...

Edit: Could it be that shader 2 support is not done in Wine yet? I suppose not, as almost all of the new games run under Wine. Devs? What does the game do when shader2 fails? Does it just silently die?

[x15]

I noticed that the game is using the latest MFC (9.0) now, and has the DLLs with the install. A little Googleing suggests you that you guys probably need the vcrun2008 package for wine if you don't have it already.

Shader 2.0 support is not a 1.29 feature. That is part of the Unity Upgrade expected after the China release.

We don't officially support wine so I can't really task anyone to this. Especially since we don't have a wine box in the office. If you can pinpoint something we'll try to help.

[Tigger6]

Hm. I thought the dlls that came with the game would be sufficient. (And if not, there would be a error message.) I'm trying to install vcrun2008, but so far it is hanging on "Verifying File: vcredist_x86".

Yes, I understand that you don't support linux/wine.

Right now I can not think of anything that you could help with, if you have nowhere to run it. Is there any reason the game could just die without an error message? It seems to die very early on, without initializing graphics. I'll try to install the vcrun and report back.

Also, (I know now is not a good time). Could you add a "linux support" subforum? Perhaps with *NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED* in the name and an appropriate sticky? Would help people who have trouble finding the appropriate threads..

[Tigger6]

OK. I successfully instaled the ms libraries, but it didn't help Hm.

[palmuzz]

Sorry!! I have Windows Vista SP1, but the same problem!!

Yes, my general claim is that a lot of problems with Vista and WINE are related. As they both implement the original windows libraries in a different way.

Upon attempting to connect to the online server (I'm trying this, because I believe that the start-up procedure through WW2_sse2.exe and PlayGate are not 100% identical), I get a error message stating:

"Please check your firewall! Network Setup Error: Network access failed"

I can however happily connect to the regular server. This is a WWIIOl error message, right? I tried to google it and I didn't find it.

Click THROUGH the firewall warning message. We cannot remove that message until after v1.29 goes full live public release (ie: isn't beta anymore) as it presents us with an auth conflict between the hosts (live and beta) ... all recent beta builds do this (but you don't normally see beta builds so it's new to you) ... just hit enter or click through the warning and the game will load and launch online as normal.

As long as the HOST is up of course. Being a beta cluster with an experimental beta build on it, that' s not guarrenteed until we get to the office in the morning.

Thanks. I found another post, where someone noted that the game starts for him (albeit for a short time) when he clicks OK on the firewall message. So I suppose the message is not the problem. The game dies regardless of the message.

So far it looks like a segmentation fault:

I'm trying for half a day, and so far no success. This is the part immediately preceding the STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. I don't suppose that helps much:

I'm not really sure how to debug it with winedbg. I can't figure out how to do a backtrace. (After the program is finished)

Anybody has success with running 1.29 under wine?

[Tigger6]

Fixed in 1.29.0.14 Whoohooo! Thanks!

We don't officially support wine so I can't really task anyone to this. Especially since we don't have a wine box in the office. If you can pinpoint something we'll try to help.

No wine box? Pretty easy to set up, put in a second drive and you don't even have to mess with existing OS. If you guys feel the need just ask ...

Anyway, I plugged in my spare drive, now have 1.29 running under wine, with the usual sound/mouse issues (and some new/different ones, nothing you can do about those).

But does this sound like something worth mentioning? Not sure whether the first 2 lines are related to the third one.

err:quartz:FilterGraph2_AddSourceFilter Load (80070003)

Yes, 1.29 runs fine under wine, but I still have the same sound issues and additionally everything has a "halo" around it. As if there was excessive smoothing done or so. Can't post a screenshot though. They don't seem to be saving.
