Bug ID: 42845 Summary: Hearthstone crashes at loading screen Product: Wine Version: 2.6 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ttmigueltt@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 57938 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=57938 The wine stdout/stderr log from running Hearthstone
Since today, Hearthstone has crashed on both my Ubuntu machines, running 16.04 and 17.04, with multiple Wine versions (1.7, 2.5, and 2.6) It crashes as the game is loading, while the blue rune is glowing at the top, and after the friend list button appears on the bottom left, but before any other things have loaded.
However, I have not changed my wine settings recently, so it must be related to the game or to my account.
The fact that the crash seems related to a "LocationAPI", make me wonder if a new patch has introduced a feature that my Wine installation doesn't have. Or perhaps I accidentally enabled such a feature by either adding more friends or by clicking the "Fireside Gatherings" button on my friends list.
Either way, my guess is the crash is related to the friends list, because Hearthstone only crashes when I log onto my normal region (US), where I have added friends. It does *not* crash when I log on to another region, such as Europe, where I have no friends.
