Cant open AOC create Lan Match

Post by argenisjimort »

Terminal error:

Code: Select all

0009:err:dplay:DP_IF_Receive Hmmm..dwFlags 0x00000008
0009:err:dplay:DP_SecureOpen Unable to open session: DPERR_UNSUPPORTED
I'm using Linux Mint, and installed Wine in order to play Age Of Empires: The conquerors. The installation and game has little to no problems. The game seems to work fine. However, when i try to create a multiplayer game (TCP/IP Lan, or DirectPlay) The tab tries to load but closes. I checked the terminal and everytime i try it error on the top is added.

Also, when i start it. the terminal shows several similar errors:

Code: Select all

002c:err:d3d:cpu_blitter_blit Failed to blit.
0009:err:dplay:DP_InitializeDPSP DP SP Initialization failed: DPERR_UNAVAILABLE
0009:err:dplay:DirectPlayCreate Failed to Initialize SP: DPERR_UNAVAILABLE

I cant seem to find any similar question, i guees not too many people play AOE2 Lan on linux.

Thank you, mate. It seems to have worked. For people that might have this error. i did the next steps:

1. Install winetricks
2. do the winetricks directplay commad
//aditional configs to be able to play LAN
3. Disable the Firewall

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winetricks
winetracks directplay
After the installation, The Lan tab worked alright. But when i created a lan match it didint show in the other computer. So I disabled the Firewall.
[if you are also on linux mint, and dont know how to do it, here is where i found how to]:
