Bug ID: 44041
           Summary: The Sims 4 instant-aborts claiming Origin doesn't run
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.20
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

After installing native msvcr120.dll (both 32bit and 64bit) to work around bug
#39689 I encountered the following message box:

"Unable to start:

Origin is currently not running. Please make sure that Origin is running before
attempting to play The Sims(TM) 4

[d3382ced:2984c6a38:00000000:00000000]"

And yes, Origin is running. Also yes, this is a legal copy purchased through
Origin, I tested this with a fresh wineprefix with no other changes or software
installed other than Origin and the above workaround. It works on Windows 10.

I get the exact same error message. I just installed wine (3.0 stable version),
origin thin setup (9.13.0.19465) and downloaded & installed the game (yes, I've
got a legal copy, purchased through origin as well).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Also tried on 3.6 devel version, same bug. Didn't reinstall origin or the game
though. Can do that if anyone thinks it will make a difference.

I haven't seen this in years, maybe it's finally been fixed by some change?
Should I close this?

Reappearing on 5.13 staging. But it only happens sometimes, it seems to be a
sort of race condition.

Were you using Staging when you first tried this?

Does it still occur?

This issue does not exist in vanilla Wine 9.9.
