[Bug 16674] New: Battle for middle earth2: No network multiplayer possible
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16674 Summary: Battle for middle earth2: No network multiplayer possible Product: Wine Version: 1.1.11 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P4 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: mcflow-forum(a)gmx.net Multiplayer games with Battle for Middle Earth2 in wine are not possible. According to the information on the game package it uses TCP/IP for network multiplayer. I already tried using the native dplay dlls like it is stated in the wiki, LAN still does not work. It happens like this: I enter the network mode and the game displays myself two times in the players list. The other player sees me in the list only one time, as it should be. I can read what he writes and vice versa. If I write something I can see it two times in the chat. For the other user it appears only one time. Now, if I open a game, the other player can see it in the game list. If he wants to join he gets a "Connection Timout" error. Same happens if the other player opens a game and I want to join it. I searched the Bugzilla for quite a time now because I do not want to open a duplicate bug. I found a few things that first sounded interesting but when I tested them nothing changed. I found a note at the AppDB page of Garena 3.0 (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14147&iTestingI...) Patching with the patch that is linked there did not solve the problem with wine-1.1.11(well one of the hunks failed but it compiled) In Bug 9787 there also was a patch for the AcceptEX for wine-1.1.6. It did not work with wine-1.1.6. It said that wine does not include AcceptEX. I'm not sure if "The battle for middle earth" requires it. I did not find anything about it on the net except that it uses tcp/ip. -- 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.

Can you try to set up your /etc/hosts file in a way that makes your hostname point to your network address instead of loopback and see if that fixes it?
The Problem is now, that I do not have a second machine to test it again. I can only test it starting the application with a second wineprefix and a different CD Key. I don't know if that makes sense... I rather don't think so. At new Year's Eve I had a friend here. He used Windows, I used wine without the commit that I think to be a regression. First my hostname pointed to loopback. We were not able to see each other in the game list. Then I changed /etc/hosts so that it contained my local IP (192.168.13.90, if that is of any mean... he had *.91). 'hostname -i' returned it as well ;). Then in the multiplayer menu he was able to see me, read my chat messages but not able to join my opened games. I did not see him or his messages or his games in the multiplayermode. To exclude a problem with his firewall he joined a hamachi network and we had luck there were some people and he could play with them. The game seems not to provide a "join by ip" feature. Battlefield 1942 worked fine, although /etc/hosts contained "127.0.0.1" as my IP. We could play it very fine. Another note: When I set /etc/hosts to '127.0.0.1 mymachinename', I was able to play the game in multiplayer mode with myself, using two different wine prefixes. When I set it to my local IP that did not work. I was not able to see the player using the other wineprefix. When I use a wine version with that commit the situation is like in the first post of this bugreport. I try to get some terminal output from the winsock component. I hope you understand the situations I described... If not you can send me a message in IRC. I'm "McFlow" there. -- 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.

My /etc/hosts file is properly configured. Going to Options -> Settings in the game properly shows my ip addressrather than loopback. When I start the game on my linux box to play against a Windows computer on the LAN, then I see nothing in the multiplayer screen, but the Windows user can see everything that I type and he can see my games. I could create a game, but the windows user can not join the game that I start. When I start the game on my linux box to play against another Linux system, both linux users see nothing in the multiplayer area. The /etc/hosts files are fine on both of them (having a unique 192.168.1.xxx ip), but there seems to be a problem with something in the interaction between Wine and BFME. I may try to experiment with this further, but it does seem like a problem in the winsock component as currently marked. -- 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.

If the _same_ problem persists with a non-loopback /etc/hosts entry, that's not the case. If there's a separate problem, that should go into a separate bug. :) -- 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.

From the logs it appears the game binds to an address and enables SO_BROADCAST. Sounds like bug 7929. Could you try the hacks from there to see if they help?

ws2_32: Work around the host name resolving to 127.x.x.x when using that for binding.
After having been pointed at this again, I'm pretty convinced that 36d63105991abef1612433e18207624f2f9e429e actually fixed the regression that was pointed out in your regression test, but possibly your bisect jumped over that. Looking at the trace, I think this is again one of the cases where windows networking just works differently from Linux networking, as is the case for bug #7929.
