[Bug 23550] New: Cannot successfully unlock Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2 - The Siege of Spinner Cay anymore
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23550
Summary: Cannot successfully unlock Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2 - The Siege of Spinner Cay anymore Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc6 Platform: x86-64 URL: http://www.telltalegames.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: mshtml AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hein@kde.org
"Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2 - The Siege of Spinner Cay" is a 3D adventure game made by Telltale Games.
The game is available for purchase and download online at http://www.telltalegames.com/.
After purchasing the game, you download an installer executable: ToMI_SiegeOfSpinnerCay_Setup.exe. This installer appears to complete successfully.
Upon launching the installed game, you're presented with a launcher window in which you can either enter your Telltale online account name and password, or the game-specific serial key (which you can find out on the website after logging in), to unlock the game.
Unfortunately, the launcher gets stuck on "Unlocking, please wait." indefinitely after entering either information.
This is a regression: In older Wine versions - unfortunately, I don't quite remember what version - the game installed, unlocked and then worked flawlessly.
Of note is that with this older version, the launcher was just a white rectangle with a HTML line edit where you put the serial and a Submit button to then unlock it. Now, the launcher appears graphically much more sophisticated, with proper backgrounds, themed input forms and animations. But it's probably still HTML-based. Thus my assumption is that what happened here is that Wine's MSHTML implementation has greatly improved, but those code changes have also broken the crucial bit that makes unlocking work.
My Wine is 1.2-rc6 on Fedora 13 x86_64. I started with a fresh ~/.wine with default settings, then used the latest version of winetricks to install the gecko component, and then ran the installer.

--- Comment #2 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2010-07-12 14:36:47 --- Eike, can you confirm the demo shows the same issue in the launcher?
Link to the demo: http://www.telltalegames.com/demo/launchofthescreamingnarwhal
The demo is for the first chapter but it uses the same launcher, I guess.

--- Comment #3 from Eike Hein hein@kde.org 2010-07-13 03:20:52 --- Nope, the demo behaves differently: When I click the "Already paid, unlock" button on the (visually similar) launcher, the whole thing just freezes up, stops reacting to the mouse and repainting. So I don't get to enter my credentials (serial or Telltale account) anywhere. Whereas the launcher I filed the initial report against has input fields for the credentials right of the bat and remains "alive" (throbber animation throbbing away, etc.) after entering them, but doesn't progress past "Unlocking".
I'd in theory be willing to provide my credentials to a verified Wine developer for testing purposes, but as expected, Telltale's EULA doesn't allow me to.
As for running bisect, I know how useful that would be, and I know how frustrating the following is going to be (I know this process from the other side), but unfortunately I simply won't have time to do that anytime soon due to work and other commitments.

--- Comment #4 from Eike Hein hein@kde.org 2010-07-13 03:31:22 --- Addendum: The demo launcher, when it locks up, uses 100% CPU, iow it's busy looping somewhere.

I'm having this exact same problem. Wine 1.3.1 (fedora 13)

For the record, installing ie7 helps here. It still freezes after entering the serial but next time it works.
