Bug ID: 43063 Summary: MetaTrader 4 has no internet connection Product: Wine-staging Version: 2.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: danielbermond@yahoo.com CC: erich.e.hoover@wine-staging.com, michael@fds-team.de, sebastian@fds-team.de Distribution: ---
Created attachment 58234 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=58234 MT4 startup log
After starting MetaTrader 4 the message 'Common error' is shown in connection status (bottom right corner of the window).
All charts shows a big message 'Waiting for update'. No graphics/data is shown on charts.
MetaTrader 4 was working fine until wine-staging 2.7. This problem is occurring only in wine-staging 2.8.
Downgrading wine-staging to version 2.7 "fixes" the problem. Using regular wine version _2.8_ also "fixes" it.
So it seems to be a regression of wine-staging 2.8. The bug also seems to be _not_ present in the regular wine version.
System information: OS: Arch Linux x86_64 wine: 2.8 staging
Notes: 1) MetaQuotes do not provide the (unbranded) MT4 download in their website anymore. Now there are only broker-branded versions and the links the can found at broker websites. For example, FxPro MT4 can be downloaded from: https://download.mql5.com/cdn/web/fxpro.financial.services/mt4/fxprocom4setu...
2) MT4 seems to need gnutls for proper installation (dependency lib32-gnutls is needed for install).
3) Using comctl32 from winetricks fixes tooltips problems in charts.
