starcraft and battle.net don't render properly.

Post by zapper »

For some reason, battle.net's app only shows a blue square and nothing else. Starcraft shows nothing but blackness.

Any ideas what could be behind this?

Using wine-staging 4.6. My os is a linux distrobution.

It is arch based, but uses debian packages and is a hybrid kind of. So ignore that part.

Wine-staging 4.5 had no issues for me, but wine-staging 4.6 has this issue as odd as that sounds.

I compiled it from source using this website/the github guides and then applied it to my os...

And again, wine-staging 4.6 has the issues not 4.5 wine-staging...

I don't have the same issue with Wine-Staging-4.6 and Battle.net, but was it not a "mono" update (.net implementation thingy) for 4.6?
mscoree: Update Wine Mono to 4.8.1.
mscoree: Check for mono runtime path in registry
From the patchlist for 4.6.

Perhaps some mono update gone wrong? (Cos i really think the Battle.net app needs a working Mono).

Okay, how does one install wine mono from source?

Hm... it appears I have found the solution: wine-staging + corefonts from winetricks. and now it works alot better. :)

Mark solved I will if I can.

You can't - due to forum spam bots...
You also only get a 10-30 (?) minute editing window for forum posts...

Well, that's a shame, meh... 4.7 wine-staging works fine though. :)

corefonts helps a lot.

Huh? Wine-staging-4.7 works fine with Battle.net? Self compiled, or from winehq.org?

Cos wine-staging-4.7 "release" is broken without https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-st ... bacd9cc36f for battle.net for a few ppl.

Wine-devel + wine-staging via the github page. And yes, 4.6 broke for me, but when I compiled wine 4.7-staging, it worked well.

https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging + winehq's 4.7 devel and winetricks + corefonts. I use a distro called Hyperbola so I had to use sources, its not a rolling release distro but it is, Based on ARCH but with debian packages for stability and security. Hyperbola.info is the website.

Surely that'll only be an issue if the end-user chooses to enable eventfd_synchronization (aka wine-esync) with:

Code: Select all

export WINEESYNC=1
This is not the default behaviour however...

Aaah.. Its default OFF.. doh :)

Hehe.. guess a lot of ppl actually have no clue its even there, cos its not really "documented" that well for those that dont know/have never used.

I've spent hours f****ing about rebasing the damn patchset for my Gentoo Wine ebuilds (do we really need 84 patches!)
So it's not entirely by choice that I'm somewhat familiar with it... 8)

In fact I'm still rebasing wine-esync for vanilla Wine. Dealing with additional breakages every week or so...
If I wasn't such a stickler for ensuring the rebased patches apply without fuzzing... :shock:
