[Bug 53078] New: Star Stable Online: GameGuard execute error 114 when launching the game
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53078 Bug ID: 53078 Summary: Star Stable Online: GameGuard execute error 114 when launching the game Product: Wine Version: 7.9 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: dominik(a)greysector.net Distribution: --- Created attachment 72498 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=72498 wine terminal output Star Stable Online has been working fine for quite some time under Wine. The only minor annoyance was the The game did not start properly Do you want to repair it? Yes No dialog box after clicking Play. Despite that, the game worked fine. Also, clicking "Yes" above would reinstall the game but not make the dialog go away. However, in the latest update (May 25th, 2.12.2 as far as I can tell), the developer added GameGuard anti-cheating solution and the game stopped launching. I can start the launcher, log in (free account required), but after clicking "Play", in addition to the "did not start properly" dialog box I get another: GameGuard execute error 114 GameGuard initialization error. Try rebooting and executing the game again or close the program considered a cause of collision.

The "Star Stable Online.exe" is just the launcher and updater. When pressing the play button it spawns a "SSOClient.exe". This is now also spawning processes "GameGuard.des" and "GameMon.des". The latter detects a 64-Bit system and spawns then "GameMon64.des". This last process then calls NtLoadDriver for loading "dump_wmimmc.sys". The first issue is "GameMon.des" doing a LoadLibraryEx for ntdll.dll, and calling from this copy NtSetInformationThread(ThreadHideFromDebugger), which fails because in the second ntdll __wine_syscall_dispatcher never gets set, which usually takes place in ntdll_init_syscalls. Second issue is the function NtLoadDriver is currently just a stub. And for obfuscation reasons "dump_wmimmc.sys" gets deleted. Then the third inside ZwLoadDriver/IoCreateDriver in "dump_wmimmc.sys" calls: IoCreateDevice, IoCreateSymbolicLink("\\??\\dump_wmimmc"), PsGetVersion, ZwQueryValueKey("...\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\UBR"), IoGetCurrentProcess and PsGetCurrentProcessId. I guess something of this makes it upset and causes IoDeleteSymbolicLink("\\??\\dump_wmimmc") and IoDeleteDevice, finally returning 0xc0000001(STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL). But because of the obfuscation I could not see what exactly what went wrong in dump_wmimmc.sys. Attached are some ugly hacks to try to workaround the first two issues. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

That's correct and I updated StarStable entry with this info some time ago already.
Because StarStable is kind of a moving target, I guess this bug is of no longer useful for wine?
While StarStable is working fine on Wine right now, there are other games using GameGuard, so the bug might still be relevant. Feel free to close if you think otherwise. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The general GameGuard issue seems to be handled in bug 3952. And the search gives also a few more application specific GameGuard bugs. Therefore I guess this bug could be closed safely, but I am not sure what the right resolution would be here, as there was no change done to Wine. Closing as duplicate to above meta bug would also be a possiblity. (And I don't have permission to change status on foreign bugs.) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
