Hello. my name is justin and i represent voobly.com. we are a small gaming community consisting of 5k-10k players that play a variety of games, mostly age of empires online.
I am currently writing support articles for voobly/wine @ our website as we have users needing this type of support.
I found some information here: http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/Bug-2 ... 33i20.html
but it seems to be outdated and the hack is no longer working.
i am hoping i might find some help to get voobly working on linux and to finish the support article on the subject.
first i am having an issue getting wine patched with the hack while using wine 1.6
i am using the source and the patch before compiling but am getting an error "hunk failed a 2010"
i am not sure if you would be able to help out with the install or a new hack for voobly to work.
i would also like to get some clarification on the following::
It looks like Voobly checks the old protection returned by VirtualProtect
and refuses to run if the protection is PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY instead of
PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE. This behaviour corresponds to a todo_wine test in
kernel32/tests/loader.c and kernel32/tests/virtual.c where Windows changes
the WRITECOPY to READWRITE protection when it detects a page write.
i have forwarded the info to our dev's but any additional info you could provide would help out.
Voobly on Wine
Re: Voobly on Wine
I assume the patch you are trying to apply is the one in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29384. That was created for a much older version of Wine, so it's not surprising it doesn't apply to current Wine. I'm not a developer, so I can't help with updating it (or with explaining the comment you quoted from the bug report). My suggestion is that you leave a comment in the bug report noting that it can't be applied to current Wine. Mention that you are in contact with the Voobly developers.

Re: Voobly on Wine
Hello,
Any news on that issue? I have a different one I think. I do not observe the behaviour described in bug #29384, that is
I stripped the huge backtrace which I believe is irrelevant. I applied the hack provided in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29384 with no difference in result. I believe this patch was designed to fix a different issue.
I am running Debian Unstable, kernel 3.10 (as you can see above), architecture amd64. I compiled wine in a chroot but had the exact same issue with the version provided in the Debian repositories so I believe my compilation environment is not at fault.
I suspected the fault could come from:
I will keep trying different things and report in this thread if anything worth noting happens.

In my case Voobly does attempt to launch the game, through the file "AGE2_X1.ICD" which then triggers the debuggervoobly only show the message of "Game was not rated Reason: ratings
were turned off" or "Game was not rated Reason: game was not finished"
Code: Select all

System information:

Platform: i386
Host system: Linux
Host version: 3.10-3-amd64

I suspected the fault could come from:
- Video drivers: I tried with both ATI free and proprietary drivers, with the exact same outcome
- 64 bit environment: tried on a 32 bits and 64 bits distribution on the same machine, with the same outcome
- the Voobly software: I have no access to the source code and cannot contact the developers directly
- Wine: the reason I am posting here
I will keep trying different things and report in this thread if anything worth noting happens.
