err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection

[snejjj]

Hi out there,

I've got the following Problem:

When I try to launch the game "Lineage 2" (respectively the l2.exe), the game refuses to start and I get the following error multiple times with different thread-IDs:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7efec900 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0036, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)

My system specs:

Amd Athlon II X2 255
4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD5770

Kubuntu 11.10
Wine 1.3.30

proprietary graphics driver installed.


I hope someone can help me or at least point the right direction...

Thank you!

hi,

as there are no replys till now, I assume, nobody knows a solution for my problem. Should I file a bug in Bugzilla?

and could someone explain to me, what that error means?

thanks!

According to the AppDB, this game uses GameGuard, and can only be played on private servers with a cracked client. If you are using a cracked client, that's not supported here. If you aren't, GameGuard not working is a known bug.

I'm getting this on Fedora 17 Beta, x86_64. I'm not sure what's missing. Tried with wine 1.5.2 (stable) and 1.5.3 (testing). I guess the issue is somewhere else.
Currently suspecting fonts but could be way off the mark.

l2tower if you skip installing GameGuard protection.
the question is if you play on NCsoft official server, you need to launch the client from your launcher to install it the first time and every Tuesday for updates.

personally I have not been able to use the NCsoft launcher

Hello,

I would say about me that I'm experienced Wine user, I can play many games which seemed unplayable at the first moment and needed registry tweaks and so on...

I keep getting probably the very same error as the person who made this thread.

The exact error (the last one I get until writing this) is

Code: Select all

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7eea39a0 "/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/wine-1.5.17/work/wine-1.5.17/dlls/user32/win.c: surfaces_section" wait timed out in thread 0031, blocked by 0030, retrying (60 sec)

Note that win.c may change to other file in that directory, it's not like the win.c is the only affected file.

Message appears mainly when installing games or when launching EA downloader Origin. Seems to be problem with creating/maintaining windows (note that not only win.c is in the error line). I assume this because no games are affected. What I have installed is running fine, just like before (before some update probably).

I'm running Gentoo x86_64, wine 1.5.17 (masked), machine is Intel Atom N455 with integrated GMA3150 graphics. The same problem was even on wine 1.5.15 (masked).

This is really big bug for me and I wwant to ask here if anybody has the same problem. Any directions what to look at or what to try are greatly appreciated.

The message "err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection" is a rather generic one. You will see it in many different, completely unrelated bugs.

Pavouk106: There's already a bug filed for versions 9.0.11 and later of the EA Origin downloader: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31438. If you are having problems installing things that don't involve EA Origin, please start a new thread for that.

I'm locking this thread; people posting a bunch of unrelated problems because they see that line is not productive.
