Issues with old Hotline Client

Post by Choxiey9 »

Hi, I have been trying to use hotline client version 1.2.3 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications for the unfamiliar) with wine 9.x on Linux. I've also tried a few older versions back to 6.x with the same issue. Mostly it works fine but when trying to upload files to a server, the upload transfer always hangs at exactly 200 KB. I've tried the same thing in an emulator on a few versions of Windows and ReactOS and uploading works properly using the same binaries (can be downloaded from https://preterhuman.net/gethotlinekdx.php for those interested). I'm wondering if it's running into some socket compatibility issues since the program was built with metrowerks codewarrior IDE/framework which wasn't too common for windows applications.

Anyway, does anyone know if there are some settings I can adjust in wine to possibly tune the socket settings and avoid the problem?

Thanks.

Reusing old .wine folder contents.

Post by GeorgeLag »

Is it possible to repurpose the contents of an old .wine folder for a completely different application, and if so, what are the potential risks and challenges associated with doing so?
