Tribes: Ascend fails to complete install

[statici]

The installer begins fine, but unfortunately the installer which works fine is the installer for the real installer; the "authentication and update service."
This auth and update service fails to start, and therefore the full install fails.
Here's the error stuffs though; I just ran a basic winedbg on it to try and get more information out of it, but nothing I googled really helped me

Halp? This is on Debian Jessie, I'm going to be making that my primary OS here soon, but Tribes is the only game I play so...yeah.

If the problem persists when running as a normal user in a clean wineprefix, post plain terminal output (not winedbg).

This is what I tried initially; I figured a sudo winedbg would give more info :O

You didn't mention what Wine version you're using. If it's not the latest development release, upgrade, and retest in a clean wineprefix.

Code: Select all

static@Staticboxv2:~$ wine --version
wine-1.6.2

Seems to be the newest version, at least according to https://www.winehq.org/download/. I could try downloading the development release, but the problem it's been having is the same problem that's been around since 2013: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=13677

1.6.2 is over a year old. It is useless for testing.

There is already a bug report for this, https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30020, which hasn't been updated in over a year. Retest in 1.7.37, and add a comment to the bug report stating whether or not the problem still exists.

Alright. I'll get 1.7.37 asap and get back to you here...sorry for the long response times, I need to set up email notifications lol.
