Running Advance Combat Tracker

[fennec2000]

I am trying to run a program called Advanced Combat Tracker.
I see it has a few entries but not one for final fantasy XIV.

Currently I have it installed and it runs but I have a few errors preventing it from working.
Currently it can not find the game.
In the terminal i get the following:

Code: Select all

0031:err:ole:CoGetContextToken apartment not initialised

so the first error is:

Code: Select all

0031:err:ole:CoGetContextToken apartment not initialised

which seems to be related to this error later on:

Code: Select all

0061:err:winsock:WSAIoctl -> SIO_ADDRESS_LIST_CHANGE request failed with status 0x2733

but i'm not sure what to do about it, i have seen post about it but nothing about fixing it. Any one any ideas?

a little more info to help:
wine-4.0 (Ubuntu 4.0-1)
winetricks 20181203
dotnet472

Error code 0x80004001 means E_NOTIMPL, this would make sense. Can you try with the latest wine version and, if that doesn't help, file a bugreport for that? Please make sure to include full terminal output.

You'd also want to update your winetricks version.

The quickest way to do this is (probably):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge winetricks
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks \
| sudo install /dev/stdin /usr/bin/winetricks
/usr/bin/winetricks --self-update

To automatically update winetricks (using a weekly Cron job):

Code: Select all

cat <<_EOF_SCRIPT | sudo install /dev/stdin /usr/bin/update_winetricks
#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/winetricks --self-update
_EOF_SCRIPT
sudo ln -s "/usr/bin/update_winetricks" "/etc/cron.weekly/update_winetricks"

This could also be done by adding a line to main /etc/crontab file (but it's probably best to keep things modular).

Hopefully this method will leave the (necessary) winetricks dependency packages, still installed !
