A bug a friend has

Post by Traxys »

Hello,

I have a friend that has a "bug" that I m not aware of , so I just want to ask if it is really a bug or if it is a hardware thing , so here is the thing , He has a LoL and a BattleNet WINEPREFIX on his computer , but the LoL one seems to be bugued out since he can't connect to the LoL servers (it tries three times then states that the login failed) and when he ticks the boxes , like Remid my username for exmaple , it doesn't save on the next startup , and on the BattleNet , if I recall what he said , Diablo III for example restarts the update on each startup ( but here I could be wrong)

here are techincal information :
System : ARCH Linux
Graphic card : AMD , with the mesa drivers

For LoL it is a patched version of wine , source being fetched by "git" , and then ./configure && make depend && make
BattleNet is the wine version from the ARCH repo
Each App has a separte WINEPREFIX and each is "WINEARCH=win32" or "setarch i386"

So anyone knows what is happening ?

Patched versions of Wine are not supported here. Ask for help with that from whomever provided the source.

As for the BattleNet issue with plain Wine, you haven't provided enough information to know what's going on, so all I can give you is generic advice: if the Wine version is not the latest development release, upgrade. He could also try the proprietary driver for his graphics card (if there is one), though that's unlikely to be the cause of the symptoms you describe.

You might also want to tell your friend to post here himself so we can get accurate information about the problem.
