Hi there,
Since installing Wine Staging 5.16 Elite Dangerous no longer works. The client simply says "Server Connection Failure" or similar. Others on the frontier forums are having the same issue but they say rolling back Wine to 5.15 works.
How do I roll back Wine 5.16 to 5.15 ( staging )
I tried
apt remove wine and then
apt install winehq-staging=5.15~bionic
But I just got told "You have held broken packages".
I want to go back to 5.15 without removing the default prefix.
How to roll back wine?
Re: How to roll back wine?
Is there already a bug report for this regression?Since installing Wine Staging 5.16 Elite Dangerous no longer works. The client simply says "Server Connection Failure" or similar. Others on the frontier forums are having the same issue but they say rolling back Wine to 5.15 works.
Almost. The following command should do the trick:apt install winehq-staging=5.15~bionic
Code: Select all
sudo apt install winehq-staging=5.15~bionic wine-staging=5.15~bionic wine-staging-amd64=5.15~bionic wine-staging-i386:i386=5.15~bionic

I have no idea. I will work out how to search for one in a bit.
Thankyou!Almost. The following command should do the trick:Code: Select all

That worked! Thank you Muchly. Wine 5.15 reintalled. Wine 5.16 update ignored. Elite Dangerous working normally again.

Hi sorry to bring this back up.
I made the mistake of upgrading to wine 5.22 but now neither Elite nor Battle.net work.
I tried
sudo apt remove wine
But was simply told that I can't remove virtual packages
so I tried the above command to install 5.15 over the top but now I have a broken wine install and I get the message
wine client error:0: version mismatch 653/637.
Your wine binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
If I try to run winecfg ( also NOTHIGN works now )

Re: How to roll back wine?
That error happens when a different wine version is still running. 'wineserver -k' should fix it, or '/opt/wine-staging/bin/wineserver -k' if that's what you're using.

Thanks, I will try that again with your suggestion.
