Summary: World of Warcraft v3.3.0 login fails with C runtime library load error Product: Wine Version: 1.1.34 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ranguvar@archlinux.us
Upon login to World of Warcraft 3.3.0 (the first time worked fine, but now the problem is reliably encountered), an error dialog appears with the following text, and login does not occur. Previous versions of WoW appear to work fine.
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe
R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
The Wine output when the error is hit is as follows:
"fixme:actctx:parse_assembly_elem wrong version for assembly manifest: 8.0.50727.762 / 8.0.50727.4053 fixme:actctx:parse_manifest_buffer failed to parse manifest L"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest" fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50727.762)"
This is without any Winetricks installed.
This problem appears to only exist in Wine with WoW 3.3.0 (latest version). Others have confirmed this error on forums, etc: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=21626505372 http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=21626505378
Upon advice I found via Googling, I ran 'touch' on the named file in the World of Warcraft directory, but this did not help.
The program continues to function, with an in-game message containing HTML code as text advising the user to go to a Blizzard support page, but login does not occur.
