voobly in combination with Age of Empires II: The Conquerors

[terminus]

Hi,

I have followed these instructions for DirectPlay:
http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames

Nonetheless if I want to launch AOE II:TC with voobly I get the following debug-log:

Code: Select all

19:49:36 CDPLauncher::Run
19:49:36 START DIRECTPLAY LAUNCH (IF IT HANGS OR CRASHES AFTER THIS LINE IT'S A DIRECTPLAY PROBLEM)
19:49:36 END DIRECTPLAY LAUNCH - AppID=39
19:49:36 ret=0
19:49:36 CDPLauncher::ThreadEntry
19:49:37 DPLSYS_APPTERMINATED
19:49:38 ProbeRemoteProcessAlive::CreateMutex -> true
19:49:38 CLauncher::ProbeRemoteProcessAlive -> false
19:49:38 LE_GameTerminated
19:49:38 GameEnded() - 1
19:49:38 GameResume() - 0
19:49:38 GameResume() - 0
19:49:38 LNE_RefreshLobbyStateStart
19:49:44 EXIT: CLobby::NetworkEvent

I'm using Wine 1.41 and Ubutunu 12.04 (Precise)
If I am not totally wrong the problem is this: 19:49:37 DPLSYS_APPTERMINATED
But if I am correct, what is DPL_SYS? Direct Play? Or has it to with some Display Management System? I dont know. I am new to all this.

Any suggestions?

Thank You.

I solved the problem a bit. One issue seems to have been my graphic card driver (ATI). Now voobly is working in combination with AOE2:TC if and only if I disable NAT-Traversal AND anti-cheat protection (you cannot switch off one without the other).

Nonetheless, I produce the same exact error as before if I enable Nat-Traversal and anti-cheat-protection (see debug-log above).
I am not so sure, whether this is really a wine problem. I don't know.

But maybe someone can give me advice. That would be nice.

Hi !

I'm running into the exact same problem.

I'm using wine-1.4.1 on Debian (wheezy). I managed to install and run AOK/AOC successfully (game runs, everything works, perfect !).

I now would like to use that game in combination with Voobly. Voobly works well, I can join room, chats etc. but when I hit the "Join game" button, a little dialog says that game should be running now but nothing happens and the dialog disappear a few seconds after.

My log is the same as above.

I personally think that this issue is linked to the fact that I have to change directory into the game directory before running the game, i.e. :

That WORKS :

Code: Select all

cd $HOME/.wine/path/to/AOK/ && wine age2_x1.exe 

That DOESNT WORK (returning instantly when hitting return)

Code: Select all

wine $HOME/.wine/path/to/AOK/age2_x1.exe

The problem here is that we have no control over the behaviour of Voobly...

Any help would be greetly appreciated !

(this is the behaviour when I override the dplayx, dpnet, dpnhp and dpwsockx in winecfg. If I don't, Wine complains about illegal 32-bit instructions in age2_x1.ICD)
