https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45409

Bug ID: 45409
           Summary: RankedGaming Launcher RGC doesn't start
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.11
          Hardware: x86
               URL: http://www.rankedgaming.com/
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The program simply outputs
> 0009:fixme:file:FindFirstFileExW flags not implemented 0x00000002
> 0009:fixme:msvcrt:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x3a85c0) stub

> 0009:fixme:msvcrt:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x11371b8) stub

and doesn't do anything else. It starts fine on my Win7 VM.

this is from a debuglog:

0009:Call KERNEL32.GetProcAddress(7bc10000,002528b0 "wine_get_version")
ret=0042c2e8
0009:Ret  KERNEL32.GetProcAddress() retval=7bc284ac ret=0042c2e8

It looks like its wine-aware.

Tried staging, and check hide-wineversion in winecfg --> program starts. Can
you confirm that Fabian?

Yes, indeed that does make a window come up, although completely black. So this
is probably not our bug, possibly even the intended behavior of the program?

I guess so.

For me the window is not black btw. It displays login-fields where i can put
loginname and passwrd, but i don`t have an accoutn so couldnt test further

I think best to resolve this as duplicate, there is a bug about wine-aware
apps, do you agree?

I would have resolved it as NOTOURBUG, what bug is that about wine-aware
programs?

Hello folks,

--- quote ---
I would have resolved it as NOTOURBUG, what bug is that about wine-aware
programs?
--- quote ---

for broken apps with the workaround identified, collectors exist.
For example:

* bug 42497 ("Wine aware apps crash into broken codepath (related to
UpdateLayeredWindow): Resolume Avenue 4.6.1, Amaranth, Max7, Novation Circuit
Editor")

In this case the developers don't want their app for whatever reason to be run
under Wine. They don't even try to work around something.

--- snip ---

IMHO 'invalid' -> app refuses to run under Wine by design.

Even with the Wine-Staging feature of hiding Wine-specific exports, developers
will still find a way to detect it.

It's actually fairly easy to do avoiding without leaving any trace in logs.
I've talked about it in some discussion at WineConf 2018 (walking in-memory
loader module list, manually process exports ...).

In the end it's an endless battle like in other industries: virus/malware vs.
anti-virus, cheat vs. anti-cheat.

Regards
