Bug #: 30020
           Summary: Tribes Ascend does not connect to the authentication
                    service
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Tribes Ascend installs successfully, but the launcher never connects to the
update service. The only thing that shows up in the console is

fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 16 not supported yet

spammed over and over again.

Note that the update service is actually a Windows Service, possibly a .NET 2.0
service, that exists on the local computer.

You can check this by running HiRezGamesDiagAndSupport.exe

Confirmed on 1.5.2
The service has its own log located in c:\users\All Users\Application
Data\Hi-Rez Studios\HiPatchService\log
The farthest I can go when comparing to a working standard windows log is by
Doing winetricks dotnet20 dotnet20sp2 dotnet30

It still doesn't connect but it detects that the interface has started and
gives different errors in the output
I attached a fixme+all,err+all

highlight is this?

TransmitFile is really not implemented as seen in bug 5048. I'm not sure this
is the cause but sure is something that is missing.

Hi Bruno,
I tried to implement the TransmitFile patch from bug 5048 by hand (it doesn't
apply in 1.5.2). It builts OK, and the message goes away, but the rest of the
messages are still there and the result is the same, so it might be the RAS
deficiency?

--- Comment #8 from thanoulas  2012-04-19 10:17:22 CDT ---
I ruled out RAS as well, I used a native override for rasapi32, the messages
went away again, but same results.
I am going through a +winsock trace for both the service and the client, and
stumbled on something interesting:

trace:winsock:WS_bind socket 02a4, ptr 0x8aa630 { family AF_INET, address
0.0.0.0, port 17729 }, length 16
this is the binding that the service does,

and then the client calls:
trace:winsock:WS_connect socket 0254, ptr 0x9d4250 { family AF_INET, address
127.0.0.1, port 17729 }, length 16
warn:winsock:wsaErrno errno 36, (Operation now in progress).

do_connect also fails. This repeats for a while, until:
trace:winsock:DllMain 0x44d00000 0x2 0x0
trace:winsock:WS_setsockopt socket: 029c, level 0xffff, name 0x80, ptr
0x2a2e914, len 4
warn:winsock:wsaErrno errno 22, (Invalid argument).
trace:winsock:WS_setsockopt Setting socket error, 10022
warn:winsock:wsaErrno errno 22, (Invalid argument).
trace:winsock:WS_closesocket socket 029c

(notice that the bind is on 0.0.0.0 and the connect on 127.0.0.1). 
Any chance the 0.0.0.0 address is not equivalent to 127.0.0.1 in wine for some
reason and that's why it fails?

--- Comment #9 from Bruno Jesus  2012-04-19 10:25:56 CDT ---
It's common practice to bind to 0.0.0.0, does it start any other process that
opens port 17729?
Please attach the +winsock log. Look for gethostbyname calls to see if it's
trying to resolve a server address. Why would it connect to 127.0.0.1?

This is certainly interesting but may not be the direct cause:
trace:winsock:WS_setsockopt socket: 029c, level 0xffff, name 0x80, ptr
0x2a2e914, len 4
warn:winsock:wsaErrno errno 22, (Invalid argument).

--- Comment #10 from Bruno Jesus  2012-04-19 10:27:57 CDT ---
Oops, my bad. It binds and then tries to connect to it's own port using a
different socket, that should not fail if listen() was called or if it's a UDP
socket.

I traced this error back to the TransmitFile patch, but this only happens after
the client re-tries to connect to the local service. The first connection
attempt results to the "operation now in progress" method.
This error is basically an "invalid parameters" error.

I also think it's a TCP socket, not so sure about that though (the service log
says so)

There are no gethostbyname calls, the game installs a local .net service that
binds to 0.0.0.0:17729 and handles all external connections to the server. The
(first) problem is that the game client cannot connect to that service. I'm
sure there will be more connection problems once this is sorted out :)

I'm also attaching the +winsock trace

The service that is supposed to be running stops after a possible problem and
then it closes the socket it just had opened for listening. So the client is
not able to connect and goes into a retry loop.

May not be related to winsock. Some other error makes the service stop (?)

It looks that application calls

typedef struct linger {
  u_short l_onoff;
  u_short l_linger;
} linger;

linger l;
setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &l, sizeof(l));

that it:

setsockopt(0x029, 0xffff, 0x80, some_pointer, 4);

based on

http://www.koders.com/c/fidC79035BEED7D3E043591E5B881A6F2D444287D5C.aspx

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms739165%28v=vs.85%2...

Basically SO_LINGER is also supported on Unix, but on Linux a struct have
different definition (according to socket(7) manpage):

struct linger {
    int l_onoff;    /* linger active */
    int l_linger;   /* how many seconds to linger for */
};

Temporary workaround would be to just ignore SO_LINGER calls, and return 0
(success), and hope it will work (because now probably application just sees 22
!= 0 and does immiediete exit, but actually ignoring it may work). Full
solution will be to create proper mapping in setsockopt and possibly for
completion also in getsockopt.

Wine support linger properly by converting the structs as far as I remember and
it can also be seen in

Yes, indeed I was looking at winsock1, in ws2_32/socket.c line 4106 you can
find relevant code. (Still few checks are missing, like making sure optlen ==
sizeof(LINGER)).

I will attach patch which adds some additional tracing, ok?

Are you sure this is required? When I fixed some part of that code a few months
ago I remember testing this. The buffer needs to be at least sizeof(LINGER),
doesn't need to be exact equal. Maybe I'm wrong, you can always play with tests
and crosstest in windows, it's very helpful. See the current tests in:
http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/ws2_32/tests/sock.c#L1137

Probably not required, but cleary for some reason setsockopt fails.

--- Comment #20 from Witold Baryluk  2012-04-23 21:53:21 CDT ---
I have idea, maybe setsockopt fails, because socket is already closed because
of previous errors? sic! Then probably checking WS_connect first will be
better.

In my opinion you should try to understand why the authentication service dies.
After installing the game it will install a service that will boot with wine.
So you only need to run winecfg to see it happening. The authentication service
starts, opens the socket and a few seconds later it closes and gives up. I'm
not sure it does the same in windows, if possible you could try in windows and
telnet the service port to see if it keeps running all the time.

Ok. I will play with it, as you said. setsockopt stuff will do separately,
because is probably less important here indeed.

I tried to debug problem, but I unfortunely was unable to replicate 'thanoulas'
result. In my case it crashes much earlier. :/ Can you try and say where it
stops?

The fact that I got the following in my log, with a connection try in the
service's log:
err:service:service_send_control service protocol error - failed to write pipe!

points more and more to TransmitFile, AcceptEx etc. (bug 5048) being
unimplemented. Anyone working on this? I saw someone made progress there only
to be discouraged by the tests and the error handling needed in his code?

The hack/fix attached to Bug 31673
fixes the connection issue with the service! The launcher can connect and
download the game, but fails at decompressing files later on. I didn't notice
any errors in the log though, so I would'n know what log to attach, let me know
and I can rerun and attach the log

Communication with the service is working perfectly in 1.5.25 and the launcher
works, installs the game, and the game can launch.
I guess someone should close this bug report.

Neither wine 1.5.25 nor wine 1.5.30 fixes the problem!
When running file:///home/steve7233/PlayOnLinux's virtual
drives/Skyrim/drive_c/Program Files/Hi-Rez Studios/HiRezGamesDiagAndSupport.exe
It says this computer cannot connect to HiRez severs.

Typo severs = servers

Could this be a problem with the Linux firewall?

Installing dotnet20 + dotnet20sp1 + dotnet20sp2 fixed it for me ;)

wine 1.7.9 - 32 bit

Created attachment 47184
  --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=47184
Service log

The latest version of the Tribes Ascend launcher no longer works in Wine in any
1.7.x version that I've tried, with any version of .NET

The attached log is generated by the launcher with Wine 1.7.10 on OS X 10.9.1
and .NET 2 SP2 installed. .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5 also emit the same error
message.

The error that's repeated every time is:
System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: An error occurred while processing
the request on the server: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Not enough
memory

This also affects the game SMITE, which appears to use the same
launcher/patcher.  Still present in wine-1.7.12.

I have just tried to play Tribes: Ascend through the Steam Client using FreeBSD
10.2 and i386-wine-devel-1.7.50,1, but the problem still persists. The game
installs fine through the Steam Client, but when trying to play for the first
time, an error message from wine popped up at the last stage related with
authentication.
In my opinion it really sucks that many games apparently have sometimes such
Windows specific things that could not all possibly covered by wine.

Still fails 1.8.rc3. It feels like it needs some dotnet to be installed. Tried
dotnet40 but it still fails. Installed dotnet20 after that and the error
message just seems to change.

As far as I can tell, with the appropriate libraries installed through
winetricks, Smite no longer suffers from this issue (See
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34969).
