Bug #: 33867 Summary: Uplay shop doesn't work Product: Wine Version: 1.6-rc3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: crypt32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com Classification: Unclassified
Doing 'winetricks uplay' installs uplay, plus native crypt32 from XP (to work around bug 33742 ?) and gdiplus (to work around bug 33673). (See https://code.google.com/p/winetricks/source/detail?r=1000 )
You can go to the shop and add things to your shopping cart. When you do, you see the warning [0623/110155:WARNING:cert_verify_proc_win.cc(113)] Unknown error -2146885628 mapped to net::ERR_FAILED and if you actually click on 'buy now', that line is shown again, and it says "The Uplay shop is Unavailable The Uplay Shop seems to be temporarily unavailable."
It seems Uplay is using Chromium Embedded Framework; that warning also shows up here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=162311
Also tried the patch from bug 27168 (since this is a chrome-based https problem), without native crypt32, but then it gets stuck in a loop at the initial 'updating uplay' screen.
The workaround for the user, of course, is to just go to the uplay shop in a normal web browser.
