nProtect GameGuard Engine

perhaps this is an old question, but i have not found any good way to make gameguard active on linux.

particularly i'm trying to play rohan that use gameguard; i start the loader that downloads and installs the updates, then it starts the gameguard updater and the console prints the following:

Code: Select all

fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE
fixme:wininet:INET_QueryOptionHelper INTERNET_OPTION_PER_CONNECTION_OPTION stub
fixme:wininet:INET_QueryOptionHelper Unhandled dwOption 4
fixme:wininet:INET_QueryOptionHelper Unhandled dwOption 5
fixme:wininet:INET_QueryOptionHelper Unhandled dwOption 3
fixme:wininet:INET_QueryOptionHelper Unhandled dwOption 2

then, a "funny" gameguard error appairs:

any solution to this problem?

You can't. Wine will never support it directly. There are some ways to "cheat" it which apply to windows as well.

why "never support"?

if someone demonstrates that get gameguard working and running well under
linux could be useful i'm sure that some com objects and also a com server
finally could be supported very well.

"ways to cheat it"? like hosting gameguard server in local and make gameguard to connect to it?

any other solution?

Because it's a kernel level root-kit. Wine does not have "fully featured" kernel. And will never have, unless it will became a ReactOS.
