Summary: Fallen Earth updater does not start Product: Wine Version: 1.1.32 Platform: PC URL: http://www.fallenearth.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: l_bratch@yahoo.co.uk
Created an attachment (id=24327) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=24327) Terminal output
The installer for this game works fine, but the built in updater required to play does not start. Terminal output attached.
The terminal output doesn't have any backtrace, but there is a message back produced which says:
A fatal error occured in Fallen Earth Updater and it needs to close! [EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION @ 0x7D97DF1D]

--- Comment #2 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2009-10-30 15:02:03 --- I guess that won't work because you don't have time to attach to the running process before it crashes. I think that instead you can run the process using winedbg ('winedbg foo.exe') and then start at 3.iii on that page.

I got the attached backtrace by using the second method suggested by Vincent. This is with the latest Git.

--- Comment #4 from Luke Bratch l_bratch@yahoo.co.uk 2009-10-31 13:26:49 --- I just tested, and it works fine with native shdocvw.dll. (In fact with native winhttp.dll too, the entire updater and games works well!)

--- Comment #6 from Luke Bratch l_bratch@yahoo.co.uk 2009-12-22 10:46:19 --- Mike, locate a native Windows copy of shdocvw.dll and then use winecfg to tell Wine to use it instead of its builtin copy. Do the same with winhttp.dll if you want the whole game to work. If you need any help with that email me off-list as Bugzilla is not for support.

Or use 'winetricks ie6'...

It looks like get_client_disp_property is getting a NULL IDispatch from QueryInterface (but the call claims to succeed). Here's a hacky patch that might work around that.

--- Comment #9 from Eric Lanz elanz1615@yahoo.com 2010-06-07 10:02:50 --- Also check out the mac version of the updater, download the mac beta and copy the FEUpdaterMac.exe and run that instead of FEUpdater.exe:

The mac version uses gecko instead of ie.

--- Comment #10 from haleykd@users.sf.net 2011-12-28 15:04:22 CST --- The changes made to FEUpdater for the mac beta have been merged into the PC version, so now there is only one version to deal with. The presence if wine.cfg changes the behaviour of FE, supposedly it only disables the use of raw input. Without wine.cfg it crashes just after starting, with it the updater runs but crashes during/after login. I will attach backtraces of both crashes.

--- Comment #13 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine?

--- Comment #15 from winetest@luukku.com --- I think this bug can't be reproduced anymore. I downloaded an installer. And it stars to download the game. I am at 1Gb/5.18Gb. Canceling now.

--- Comment #16 from Philipp Ludwig philipp.ludwig@gmail.com --- Well, you have to wait after the install tool has finished downloading the game. Then try to run FEUpdater.exe, it crashes instantly.

" After a long 10 year run, the original Fallen Earth servers were taken offline on October 14, 2019. Little Orbit is now working on an all-new reboot of the game. Please visit our forums for more information."
