Bug ID: 47447 Summary: APB Reloaded fails with an error dialog when connecting to the world server after character selection. Product: Wine Version: 4.11 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wmi&wbemprox Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: o.dierick@piezo-forte.be Distribution: ---

Hello,
Using a workaround to bypass bug 47421, I can start the game and login, but after character selection, the game tries to connect to the 'world server' and opens an error dialog instead and terminates.
There is no indication of the issue in the normal terminal output, but the error dialog and log files in the game directory says:
--- error dialog quote --- General protection fault!
Script call stack: Function APBUserInterface.cUIDataStore_Chat|OnPlayerProfileChanged --- end error dialog quote ---
Searching the web for that function I found a trace of a topic on the developer's forum about that issue. That website is down, there is no cached version on google and no copy of that page on the web archive, but some google query trick gave me an indication that the issue might be related to wbem: https://www.google.be/search?q=repository+site%3Aforums-old.gamersfirst.com%...
--- google quote --- Anybody who gets this problem should check and if neccessary reset the Repository, located at C:\Windows\System32\wbem\repository. --- end google quote ---
I attached a WINEDEBUG=+tid,+wbemprox,+seh terminal output in case it is helpful in any way.
The issue happens with both Steam and GamersFirst versions, with and without wine-staging.
My wineprefix is 64-bit. I didn't test with a 32-bit wineprefix.
Regards.
