[Bug 27075] New: Battlefield Heroes: Punkbuster doesn't work as it should
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27075 Summary: Battlefield Heroes: Punkbuster doesn't work as it should Product: Wine Version: 1.3.19 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: daniel.skorka(a)stud.uni-karlsruhe.de Everything works, except that within a few seconds after joining a game, I get the message --- PB IMPORTANT: RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe ffbf --- after which I'm kicked by Punkbuster. If you want to confirm this bug, installation is pretty straightforward: Go to website, create account, make sure you are running a windows browser - I used Internet Explorer 8 - then click Play Now. The plugin will install, followed by a new window which will download and install Battlefield Heroes. The main interface should start then, but you'll need msvcp90.dll -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.

Probably a dupe of bug 9685.
That depends on what you think bug 9685 is about. If it is about Punkbuster in general, then yes, it is. If it's about the unknow windows api function, then it isn't. Comment 61 over there clearly states the difference. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.

How did you actually installed that BF Heroes updater plugin? For Wine IE7/IE8 install (winetricks ie8 flash), the ActiveX control part failed, it never installed.

For instructions on how I did it, see the test result I just submitted to AppDB (is pending review right now).
Is there any way to install that game without any browser plugin mess?
Yes, see above. But you'll still need the plugin to start the game. Btw, Flash is unnecessary. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.

But you need need several more workarounds to get further. There should be a proper recipe added to appdb/bugs to not waste time reproducing bugs. Also note that Windows based installs/copy over are NOT supported (you mentioned a Windows install in your appdb test report). Bugs should be worked on using pure Wine installs. Fresh WINEPREFIX 1) bash winetricks -q ie8 2) wine iexplore "https://www.battlefieldheroes.com/en/playnow" 3) create account and login IE8 interface is lacking the "ActiveX" control warning/message (below the address bar) to indicate that this site needs security settings modified -> bug 4) Add trusted site for plugin download: click on icon "Internet security" in IE8 status bar -> "trusted sites" -> "sites" -> add "https://battlefieldheroes.com" To work around a crash when the game is started: --- snip --- wine: Call from 0x7b838257 to unimplemented function msvcp90.dll.??0?$basic_string(a)GU?$char_traits(a)G@std@@V?$allocator(a)G@2@@std@@QAE(a)XZ, aborting wine: Unimplemented function msvcp90.dll.??0?$basic_string(a)GU?$char_traits(a)G@std@@V?$allocator(a)G@2@@std@@QAE(a)XZ called at address 0x7b838257 (thread 0035), starting debugger... --- snip --- 5) bash winetricks -q vcrun2008 6) start game (using website plugin) Ingame message: "you need a hero" On website, click "create a hero" An empty frame with "You may only create 4 more Heroes" and a flash sign appears. --- quote --- Btw, Flash is unnecessary. --- quote --- Not true.

I'd update my test result if I could...
Also note that Windows based installs/copy over are NOT supported (you mentioned a Windows install in your appdb test report). Bugs should be worked on using pure Wine installs.
Well, the only reason I didn't try a wine based install is that the download is about one gigabyte in size. Did you have troubles installing in wine?
Fresh WINEPREFIX
I reused my existing one. Of course, this will vary for everybody.
IE8 interface is lacking the "ActiveX" control warning/message (below the address bar) to indicate that this site needs security settings modified -> bug
I did see that warning telling me the ActiveX control failed for some reason I can't remember.
--- quote --- Btw, Flash is unnecessary. --- quote ---
Not true. You need flash because the whole hero customizing interface _is_ flash based.
Flash *is* unnecessary to download, install and run the game. The only part where Flash is needed is to create a hero on the website. That can be done just fine using Linux and a browser. No need for wine, or the flash plugin in wine. There's a "Create Hero" button on the website.

I just don't want to waste time figuring out stuff that are different bugs.

First you have to make sure that PunkBuster basics work by using the PB svc tool:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EA Games/Battlefield Heroes$ wine ./pbsvc_heroes.exe
click "Test services"
The PunkBuster "A" and "B" service should run and the kernel driver "K" can be extracted and run too.
The test works fine, all results green.
Your problem might be this one:
... wine: Call from 0x7b838257 to unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.PsLookupProcessByProcessId, aborting ...
Yes, I think that's it. I didn't bother to do a trace, but that warning pops up several times.
But even with that stub in place (preventing crash of kernel driver) you will more or less frequently encounter bug 9685 in the game, effectively destroying gameplay.
Yes, I understand that. Still, it would be nice to fix this bug.
