Bug ID: 37006 Summary: APB Reloaded freezes when in-game gecko browser tries to load armas marketplace. Product: Wine Version: 1.7.23 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: o.dierick@piezo-forte.be
APB Reloaded uses its own gecko browser to show its marketplace in-game.
The issue is that APB waits indefinitely for the marketplace to show, which never happens, and has to be killed.
Clicking any marketplace button in-game makes the game freeze, but the marketplace can be accessed from an external browser so clicking those buttons is not required but, a new feature makes the marketplace open on each login unless opted-out (for 24 hours). The checkbox for opting-out is only displayed on the in-game marketplace page. Since APB freezes when loading the marketplace there's no way to opt-out and no way to play.
Opt-out can be done from a Windows machine. When opted-out APB doesn't try to open the marketplace on login and playing is possible.
I tried to get a +relay output but it grows so big that I ran out of free space (8Gb) before even reaching the intro movies.
Important note: APB Reloaded does not launch with plain Wine. The patch from bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24125 has to be applied.
Additionnal info: APB Reloaded 1.17 non-steam version. No dll overrides. wine-gecko 2.24. wine-mono 4.5.2. Patched Wine 1.7.23 32bit on Debian 7.6 64bit.
