Need for Speed world doesn't start.

[Fanis]

I have installed Need for speed world in wine 1.6 but when I try to run it it always says that servers are down while the servers are fine. The debug output is this:

DO I need to change something?

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

Do what it says.

[Fanis]

I have it installed. I have 4.0.7 What is wrong then? How can I make it "in" my path?

[dimesio]

Are you on a 64 bit distro? If so, do you have 32 winbind installed? You need it.

I also noticed you are using PlayOnLinux, which is not supported here. Please retest in plain Wine.

Here is what I get in plain wine:

Hey Dimesio, you solved one just like this back in 2011. Just did a search on the error message is all and got it here. Searching helps.

[dimesio]

fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"SecDrv" failed to start: 2

That's the Securom driver. Someone else got rid of that message with a different game by copying secdrv.sys from the install cd to the wineprefix's /windows/system32/drivers directory. Check if the file is already there, and if it's not, try that.

You are missing a couple of Wine's dependencies:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"winemp3.acm": libmpg123.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and

err:wincodecs:PngDecoder_CreateInstance Failed reading PNG because unable to find libpng16.so.16

The AppDB mentions that the game updater may fail repeatedly, and you just have to keep restarting it. There is also information on various tweaks that have worked for different people; you might want to look through them and try some. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... owAll=true
