Summary: GuildWars tries to repair the data archive on every start. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.22 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tank@meinungsverstaerker.de
when starting, gw tries to repair the data archive. this takes a long time, as the archive is about 4GB in size. when you let gw finish that, you may play gw as usual, but if you close gw and start it again, it will repair the archive again and again... gw never tried to repair my data archive before i upgraded to 1.1.22. i missed some versions, didn't upgrade for some weeks, but according to comments in the appdb, 1.1.20 seems to work.

--- Comment #4 from Peter Schueller schueller.p@gmail.com 2009-05-29 17:05:45 --- I have the same problem.
Occured with wine_1.1.22~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
I tried to reinstall GuildWars to repair, but installing did not work anymore.
With wine_1.1.21~winehq0~ubuntu~9.04-0ubuntu1_i386.deb it works now.
Reproduce it by:
-) Uninstall GuildWars (if you had it installed) -) download gwsetup.zip and extract it (it is free and legal to do without an account) -) Try to install it, it will start downloading the exe and then data files and counting the remaining files down -) after about 5 MB download it will segfault
One curious thing: -) Try calling it this way: "strace -f wine Gw.exe 2>/dev/null" -) It will be a bit slower, but a crash window from GuildWars will appear, the download seems to continue but it does not really work

Yup, I confirm it too. Antoher way to encounter this bug is running Gw.exe -image (it should download latest versions of all datafiles).
I tried this too, but it downloaded several hundred megabytes before crashing.
It is another method to reproduce, but not the easisest. ;)

In my eyes, -image, a reinstall and such stuff cannot fix the problem, because it is Wine which causes it, no matter what archive file you try to use.

I'm writing this here because i found there already was a bisect pointing to that build here, even if I don't have exact the same issue.
I patched out the change made in this commit in master HEAD, and after that GuildWars installed smoothly.

Still an issue in 1.1.23
I can confirm this in wine-1.1.23 in Fedora 10.
I'd not used Guild Wars for a long time, used to be fine, I thought I'd try and get back into it with it already being installed, worked fine upto when it tried to update itself.
Using the -image option mentioned above gets the files downloaded but I think its going to just crash. Will confirm but I've got another 75139 files remaining.

It's still an issue in 1.1.26 for me. I wonder how Piotr Bednarek managed to make it run "gold".
It's quite simple.
Piotr Bednarek has downloaded all the needed content with 1.0.1 (most likely the case), then upgraded to 1.1.26 later. As this bug is only in effect during download of new content (Art, Scripts, etc), Piotr Bednarek doesn't get effected, unless Piotr Bednarek stumbles upon new content that is.
So if you wish to play Guild Wars with the latest and greatest, download all the content with a working wine version (1.1.20 and less?), then upgrade. Though I'm not sure if I would personally recommend it, sooner or later you'll most likely hit new content (patches, events, etc), and you'll be back to square one.

It has nothing to do with installation, which has been addressed, since it has been tested against a fresh "-image" (aka "download all contents before launch") install: it still tries to repair on every start.

--- Comment #20 from Antoine Mazeas antoine@karthanis.net 2009-07-20 12:22:11 --- Since 1.1.22, a previously installed GW setup tries to repair the data on every start (as the title says). It has nothing to do with installation, which has been addressed, since it has been tested against a fresh "-image" (aka "download all contents before launch") install: it still tries to repair on every start.
--- Comment #21 from Jamin Collins jcollins@asgardsrealm.net 2009-07-20 12:27:29 --- Created an attachment (id=22478) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22478) Reverts the problematic git commit.
The solution, as indicated elsewhere in this bug report is to revert the problematic commit. The attached patch does so.
--- Comment #22 from Robert Gladson hiddenfoxling@gmail.com 2009-07-22 19:12:50 --- This issue continues to permeate in the offical 1.1.26 repositories for Debian. Is there a reason for the problematic git change?
--- Comment #23 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@codeweavers.com 2009-07-28 01:52:37 --- See the comments in this bug, it's the bug in GuildWars. The bug is still open because apparently Windows memory layout permits this buggy app to survive.
--- Comment #24 from Jan Kalab pitel@nomi.cz 2009-07-28 02:57:40 --- I just submitted a ticket to their support system:
Hi, I'm sorry to announce you that your game doesn't work in Linux under Wine (http://www.winehq.org). But it used to. But since Wine developers made some changes in recent versions, one bug in your code appeared.
Bug report in Wine's bugzilla is here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18675 I recommend to notice comment #14 by Alexander Juliard (one of leading Wine developer) who explains what's wrong in your code.
I hope you will fix it soon, so we, Linux gamers, can play your game again.
--- Comment #25 from nh2@deditus.de 2009-07-28 06:39:07 --- @ Jan Kalab: Is the GW ticket system open/viewable so that we can see if there are questions, comments or progress?
--- Comment #26 from Jan Kalab pitel@nomi.cz 2009-07-28 07:24:09 --- Unfortunately not. But I'll post updates when something important happens. Current status is:

Guild Wars was developed on and released for native Windows based PCs. We are aware that there is an interest in having the game available using other operating systems or on other platforms, and we will continue to evaluate these possibilities in the future.
While not officially supported, you can read this article (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_on_CrossOver) about using CrossOver to possibly play Guild Wars on an Intel based Macintosh with BootCamp or Linux based computer.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that Guild Wars is not officially supported for this Operating Systems and therefore we are unable to assist you further.

It's not really a GuildWars bug after all, my apologies to the GW developers...
That code path is not supposed to be triggered, what they do is something like HeapRealloc(HEAP_REALLOC_IN_PLACE_ONLY), and if that fails HeapAlloc()+memcpy+HeapFree(). We don't handle realloc in place correctly in that case which probably causes GW to fall into the memcpy code path. Attached patch should fix it.

--- Comment #20 from Antoine Mazeas antoine@karthanis.net 2009-07-20 12:22:11 --- Since 1.1.22, a previously installed GW setup tries to repair the data on every start (as the title says). It has nothing to do with installation, which has been addressed, since it has been tested against a fresh "-image" (aka "download all contents before launch") install: it still tries to repair on every start.
--- Comment #21 from Jamin Collins jcollins@asgardsrealm.net 2009-07-20 12:27:29 --- Created an attachment (id=22478) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22478) Reverts the problematic git commit.
The solution, as indicated elsewhere in this bug report is to revert the problematic commit. The attached patch does so.
--- Comment #22 from Robert Gladson hiddenfoxling@gmail.com 2009-07-22 19:12:50 --- This issue continues to permeate in the offical 1.1.26 repositories for Debian. Is there a reason for the problematic git change?
--- Comment #23 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@codeweavers.com 2009-07-28 01:52:37 --- See the comments in this bug, it's the bug in GuildWars. The bug is still open because apparently Windows memory layout permits this buggy app to survive.
--- Comment #24 from Jan Kalab pitel@nomi.cz 2009-07-28 02:57:40 --- I just submitted a ticket to their support system:
Hi, I'm sorry to announce you that your game doesn't work in Linux under Wine (http://www.winehq.org). But it used to. But since Wine developers made some changes in recent versions, one bug in your code appeared.
Bug report in Wine's bugzilla is here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18675 I recommend to notice comment #14 by Alexander Juliard (one of leading Wine developer) who explains what's wrong in your code.
I hope you will fix it soon, so we, Linux gamers, can play your game again.
--- Comment #25 from nh2@deditus.de 2009-07-28 06:39:07 --- @ Jan Kalab: Is the GW ticket system open/viewable so that we can see if there are questions, comments or progress?
--- Comment #26 from Jan Kalab pitel@nomi.cz 2009-07-28 07:24:09 --- Unfortunately not. But I'll post updates when something important happens. Current status is:
We are going to escalate your request to a senior customer support representative. We will get back to you as soon as possible to provide a solution for the issue you reported.
--- Comment #27 from Jan Kalab pitel@nomi.cz 2009-08-04 03:10:11 --- Here is the reply from NCsoft:
Guild Wars was developed on and released for native Windows based PCs. We are aware that there is an interest in having the game available using other operating systems or on other platforms, and we will continue to evaluate these possibilities in the future.
While not officially supported, you can read this article (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_on_CrossOver) about using CrossOver to possibly play Guild Wars on an Intel based Macintosh with BootCamp or Linux based computer.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that Guild Wars is not officially supported for this Operating Systems and therefore we are unable to assist you further.

There is also a mention of the Bug on this page: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_on_Wine
"Issue with newer versions
As of wine 1.1.21 Guild Wars will try to repair the data archive on every start, and possibly not install. This is due to a memory allocation bug in Guild Wars. A support ticked to arena.net has been filed for this issue. See the wine bugzilla for details. Older versions work fine."

It's not really a GuildWars bug after all, my apologies to the GW developers...
