Cymatic Trader: The underlying connection was closed: A

[spes123]

Hello first post here so if I get things wrong please be patient.

I am running a 32bit windows application called cymatic trader. I have a dual boot machine with windows xp and Linux mint (cinnamon). wine version 1.6.1

When i use the software in XP it works no problems but under wine I keep getting this error message and then all timers in the software reset to zero.

" The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server"

To install this software I did the following

created a clean win32 WINEPREFIX

used winetricks to install .net4.0 framework into this PREFIX, then installed the software.

Everything works fine most of the time and then i get the error message the timers reset and then the software continues to work.

I have tried to get a logfile by running the software via a terminal but just get line after line of "fixme:gdiplus:GdipGetNearestColor (0x55650a8, 0x33d8c4): Passing color unmodified" which I doubt is causing the issue.

Any suggestions on 1. how to run it in terminal and not get the gdiplus message so hopefully a more meaningful message is picked up.
2. changes to winecfg overides to try.

Many Thanks

Your Wine version is old; try upgrading to the latest development release.

Had to manually upgrade wine as my software centre said I was on the latest version now on 1.7.18.

Unfortunately I still have the problem.

Try reinstalling to a clean wineprefix under 1.7.18. .NET is very touchy about unclean wineprefixes.

Regarding gdiplus: I agree that doesn't seem like a likely cause based on your description of the symptoms, but you can test that easily by trying native gdiplus.

Ok I have created a new clean wineprefix and unfortunately still have the issue. Also when I changed the overrides in winecfg to run gdiplus as native the application would not start.

I have however managed to see that at the time i get the error message appear in the application these lines appeared in the terminal window

Code: Select all

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.resources"
fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.resources"
fixme:secur32:schan_QueryContextAttributesW Unhandled attribute 0x1a

Don't know if that means anything or not

Did you install gdiplus before setting that override? You need to.
