Bug ID: 50483 Summary: Starcraft Remastered: Unable to connect to Battle.net servers or create LAN game Product: Wine-staging Version: 5.19 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: zculek@gmail.com CC: leslie_alistair@hotmail.com, z.figura12@gmail.com Distribution: ---
With wine-staging versions >5.18 (higher than 5.18) I am no longer able to connect to Battle.net servers eaither at all (just hangs on "Connectiong..."; screenshot attached) or randomly to some specific server (most often Europe doesn't work, but sometimes others as well), no error being given.
Sometimes connecting to Battle.net servers passes (mostly if I first go to create a LAN game, then return from that menu to selecting between Battle.net and LAN menu), but I am not able to create a game (error: "Failed to advertise the game. Connection lost while trying to advertise the game. (Error 5:9)"; screenshot attached) nor join any of the games (error: "Unable to join game"; screenshot attached).
Creating a LAN game doesn't work either, it just hangs on "Creating game..." (screenshot attached).
All of this works properly with wine-staging 5.18. The versions >5.18 that I tested - 5.19, 5.20, 5.21, 6.0-rc1 - all of them have the same problematic behavior, so I guess it must be something 5.18 > 5.19.
I can confirm that this is not the issue with Battle.net availability or IP/account being temp blocked or anything similar, as everything works properly with 5.18 (also with wine-staging 5.7) and when using the same Battle.net account and connecting from the same IP/network using a Windows machine.
I have also seen other users reporting the same issue elsewhere on the Internet, so this is not an isolated case/issue with my machine/setup, e.g. https://lutris.net/games/starcraft-remastered/
Let me know if any additional details are needed. I was checking the logs and console output, but I'm not sure any of it would be helpful.
