Summary: Civilization V will not download mods: "Cannot download because Microsoft BITS has not been started" Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mathuin@gmail.com
I am playing Civilization V via Steam and in general it works really well. The number one issue I am facing is the inability to download mods for the game. When I mouse over the download button, the text "Cannot download because Microsoft BITS has not been started." comes up. When I start the BITS service via "wine net start bits" in another window and then stop and restart Civ and try to download a mod, I still get the same message. When I stop the wineserver entirely, start the BITS service as mentioned above, start Steam from the command line in a different window than that of the BITS service, and start Civ, I *still* get the same message.
