Bug ID: 40182 Summary: Elder Scrolls Online: Login connection issues Product: Wine Version: 1.9.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: amgeddis@msn.com Distribution: ---
Disclosure: I am using Wine-staging 1.9.3
Since patch 2.2.11 on 2/8/2016 Elder Scrolls Online cannot be played in WINE.
Logging in usually works but trying to load a character either results in
1. The animation icon eventually freezing and the app hanging
or
2. Getting booted back to the login screen with the error: "An error has occurred. Please try again in a few minutes". All subsequent logins after the error message give the error code 301 which according to the codes sheet means:"Lobby connection failed"
When logging in doesn't work there is only error code 301.
Steps to recreate: Run Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe, hit "Play", log into account, select "Play" below the character.
Game used to play great with 32-bit prefix, corefonts, and vcrun2013 installed.
Tried creating clean new prefixes in both 32-bit and 64-bit but neither worked with or without corefonts and vcrun2013 also installed.
On the Elder Scrolls Online forums there are three other WINE users that have come out and said they've had the same problem since patch 2.2.11 and contacting the developer Zenimax Online support only gave back generic messages of "We do not support Linux".
One of the other WINE users also said they have the same problem in their Windows dualboot installation as well.
There are also several other Windows users on the Elder Scrolls Online forums complaining of the same problem and all still report this being a problem for them.
