--- Comment #14 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de ---
It just seems to me that SOMETHING in wine is intercepting this even with the replacement dll
It should work when configured properly. It works for me, maybe we could find more people to test that - there seems to be something we do different.
So again it comes back to the message about the call to get the pallette - which I do know actually contains all kinds of information about the image - fails on type 3 not being implemented. This causes the connection error since nothing is returned about the image - it returns a null pointer.
Sounds likely, but someone needs to add that feature. As noted, I'm going to take a look at it when I have time, but it'll take a while.
I downloaded the dll from ddl-files.com as that was where I was told a reliable image could be found. I am aware of the inherit dangers in downloadeing from unknown sources, but in this case I'm only trying to help someone else. I can remove everything wine when this is over.
Still a danger, just pointing that out. Did you make sure it is 32bit and tried different versions? No idea what versions they uploaded there.
I am not alone in this problem - it's both in the wine forums, ubuntu forums and on the net about people having this error about the connection
I don't blame you, but I'm afraid there's not much more you could do unless you want to fix it yourself. We already have a pretty detailed error case thanks to you.
