Rumble Fighter. A free game that won't work.

- Name of the Distribution (And it's version)
Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.1.7.7

- Name of the software and it's version (Ex: Wine 0.9.37)
Rumble Fighter V 1.5.9 (0612)
Wine 0.9.59

- Your desktop (KDE,Gnome,Xfce,Fluxbox...)
KDE / Gnome

- Errors from the software. And if possible, tell when or/and when it happens.
When logging in to play the game.
This service is for North American Users Only. Thank you for your interest.

I'm in North America!

- Your computer configuration.
Awesome dual core 64 bit AMD AM2 2600 Mhz 128 bit GPU Nvidia 256 MB 2 GB RAM 800 DDR2 bla bla bla.

Could this have anything to do with it? In my registry the local value is 00000409

I think that maybe changing the time zone to US Pacific Standard Time zone might fix it. Do I do this in the registry editor? If I do how? Is there anything else that this program could be looking for that would tell it what country it was in?

This is a free game to download and to use. A lot of my GNU/Linux friends love to use it in Windows.

If you could fix this you could even play it in any country.

I upgraded Wine it didn't help.

That's too old version, upgrade. You have not said what's wrong with your program. Nor where to get it (the link pls).

Upgrade Wine to wine-1.1.0 remove ~/.wine directory, reinstall this game and run it. If you still have a problem, post description of the problem and the complete terminal output.

2nd I went to the download site here for Wine and followed the instructions for Ubuntu 8.04 as it's the root of Ultumix. It only upgraded it to .93 or something. If 1.1 is available for Ubuntu I'll download and install it. I agree with you about removing the .wine directory. Because I've tried PlayOnLinux I'll remove .playonlinux too. Both of them gave me the same result and by the way I did tell you the error. It's very simple.

I can install the program, the updates, ect. Then when I open the game and get to the log in where I type in my username and password at the top you see

"-> This service is for North American Users Only. Thank you for your interest."

at the top of that window. I put the username and password in and click sign in but nothing happens. I can click cancel or the X button or the link to their site. It's like the button to Sign in has been disabled even though graphically it moves. It's not grayed out.

When I get home to night I'll give it a try again after installing the Wine version you suggested. I still don't think it will work. I believe it's a registry problem. Something in the registry that gives my location away is not set up right.

That didn't work. I did everything you told me and got 1.1 installed and erased the .wine and .playonlinux and tried just using Wine. Didn't work.

So follow the rest of Vitamin's instructions.

If you still have a problem, post description of the problem and the complete terminal output.

There is no terminal output. The error is still exactly the same.

ultumix · Post by **ultumix** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:53 pm

OK so now I tried to produce some terminal output.

owner@Ultumix-desktop:~$ WINEPREFIX="/home/owner/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\O GPlanet\RumbleFighter\RumbleLauncher.exe"
owner@Ultumix-desktop:~$ WINEPREFIX="/home/owner/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\OGPlanet\RumbleFighter\RumbleLauncher.exe"

but now the game wont start at all. Even if I click the shortcut like I did before.

ultumix · Post by **ultumix** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:57 pm

OK used PlayOnLinux to reboot Wine. (note I didn't start PlayOnLinux or install it until this point) Then I reran the command in the terminal.

owner@Ultumix-desktop:~$ WINEPREFIX="/home/owner/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\OGPlanet\RumbleFighter\RumbleLauncher.exe"
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 53 (SPI_SETTOGGLEKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 51 (SPI_SETFILTERKEYS)
owner@Ultumix-desktop:~$

Same result as before. I get a log in screen but it thinks I live somewhere else.

This should be:

Code: Select all

cd "`winepath -u 'C:\Program Files\OGPlanet\RumbleFighter'`"
wine RumbleLauncher.exe

ultumix · Post by **ultumix** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 8:09 pm

owner@Ultumix-desktop:~$ cd /home/owner/.wine
owner@Ultumix-desktop:~/.wine$ -u 'C:\Program Files\OGPlanet\RumbleFighter'`"
> wine RumbleLauncher.exe
>

That's what I did and that's the result. The program didn't execute.

When I did it my way it executed.

How did I get my way? I asked the computer. I right clicked on the icon in kmenu and asked it to put the command in to the Run dialog and thats why the other way worked for me. Oh ya I'm using KDE 3.5

I've been having the same problem you've been having
What exactly did you do to fix it?

Of course that didn't work. Copy and paste the entire commands not some arbitrary pieces of the command.

The problem is not related to where the game is being played.

Other people report this same problem but the game plays anyway. I tried it on windows and it played. The real problem is that the sign in button is not working. I also try hitting enter and it does not work. Both work under XP.

I have no trouble getting the game to execute, update, and bring up the log in screen when running on Wine 1.1 or using "PlayOnLinux" (should be called PlayOnGNULinux) (a program for GNU/linux that allows almost any windows game to run)

PlayOnLinux can patch any game that needs Direct X, .Net, ect.

ultumix · Post by **ultumix** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 9:04 pm

Can anyone help me? Please.

Is your locale set correctly in Linux?

ultumix · Post by **ultumix** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 9:42 pm

Yes and it has nothing to do with the local. I have tested this in XP and got the same result except that I could log in. The same error message came up in XP.

The real problem is that it won't try to log in when I click the button or press enter. This is a Wine problem or the game itself. If you can please try to run the game It would be most appreciated so that you can find out what I'm talking about. It will happen on your system too.

Then the program appears to be broken. You can try the following:

Run winecfg.

Click on Add Application.
Search through to the executable for your program.
Set the Windows version to something like Windows98 (I'm assuming this
program will run on Windows98, if not select Windows2000.)
Click on the OK button.

Try to run your program again.

The error message dialog should NOT appear.

And send the application producer a message that their program is not
properly running under WindowsXP. The Wine production team cannot do
anything about that problem.
