Output from running WoW's Launcher.exe

Wine has been running WoW fine for me for several months.  After installing
WoW's Patch 4.2 yesterday, wine "hangs".  Please see attachment.  After
Launcher starts up, you click "Play" to start the game.  The Launcher window
goes away and the last line in the log is where it sits.  I have left it sit
for an hour (no exaggeration to make it sound "bad" :-) ), and it doesn't come
back to life.

I have already "regression tested".  The attached log was generated with git
pulled last night (~8:30PM Eastern US, June 29, 2011).  I am running this test
in a 100% fresh ~/.wine dir.

Is there anything else you need to know?

After Hitting CTRL+C

This dumps out when hitting CTRL+C after the hang.  It seemed important...

I am having the same issue here.  I just recently downloaded patch 4.2 for
Firelands from WoW, and now it hangs after I hit the 'launch' button on the
Launcher.  I tried the same thing.  I blew away my original WoW installation
and created a new prefix for it, and still the same issue.

If it helps, I'm running wine version 1.3.23.

It feels as if the World of Warcraft.lnk is broken, and so is Launcher.exe. 
The repair tool does nothing for this.  Was working perfectly fine before the
new patch.  I can blow away the prefix away and reinstall, but I don't think
that's going to fix the issue.

Same problem here. wine 1.3.21 (via
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu) on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, WoW
installed via 'winetricks games wowtrial' originally, and it ran fine prior to
the 4.2 patch.

I saw mention of being unable to find WoW.exe, so I renamed Wow.exe to WoW.exe,
that didn't help.

I have that, while the Launcher just seems to hang when clicking the Play
button, I can successfully launch the main WoW.exe app itself like this:

env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/wowtrial" \
wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix \
"$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/wowtrial/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/World of
Warcraft/WoW.exe"

Would be nice if the Launcher still worked though.

(Different launch script, but...)

Confirmed.  World of Warcraft Patch 4.2 runs 100% fine when Wow.exe is called
directly.  It seems that it's only launcher.exe that's busted.

I can double confirm that

I used env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wineWoW" wine
/home/user/.wineWoW/drive_c/Program\ Files\ (x86)/World\ of\ Warcraft/Wow.exe
in order to run my script [seems a little simpler than yours, Jason]. The first
two times I kept getting the WoW 10th anniversary video, third time it wasn't
there and just went to the login screen.

If we could get the launcher to work again, that would be nice.  It's not that
much of a hassle, but I suppose until this is solved, we can check the WoW site
for any patch updates.

Here's one thing that might be long term that I'd like to test.  Will auto
patches [as in, run the launcher to pick up the patch, let it install, then
quit] still work with the launcher issue, or will we have to manually add them
in.  I'll have to test that if we can't get the launcher to work until then.

The launcher does downloading and installing patches just fine, it just gets
stuck when I hit play. Minor irritation in a growing list.

However looking at the eu forums it seems some users are having a similar issue
on windows so it may not be a wine bug.

I can also confirm that this is a problem. However, if you launch Wow.exe after
Launcher.exe finishes its patching and whatnot the game does run fine for me.

Just a note that the solution from this thread is to reinitialize winsock.
(netsh winsock reset). Perhaps that is a clue to a solution in wine?
