Bug #: 32049 Summary: Pirate101 launcher fails while downloading game on initial run Product: Wine Version: 1.5.15 Platform: x86 URL: https://www.pirate101.com/free_game/download_game OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dimesio@earthlink.net Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 42245 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42245 Launcher failure
Pirate101 installs without any overrides. On first run, the launcher allows you to login and then starts to download the game, but soon pops up a message that "A problem has occurred" and asks if you want to report it to KingsIsle. Regardless of whether you click yes or no, the launcher is a zombie at that point and everything has to be manually killed.
Winetricks ie7 works around the problem, and the game itself seems to work fine (at least the little I tested). I also tested removing the overrides set by winetricks after the first run, and found that on subsequent runs the game launched and did download content during the game.
