[Bug 24880] New: Last Chaos MMO Game : installs OK but crashes when run

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24880

Summary: Last Chaos MMO Game : installs OK but crashes when run
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Command Line trace from command: wine LC.exe

I am corroborating reports by another user that this game installs (but does
not run correctly after a recent update). I don't use the game myself!! It
installs on Windows 7 OK. However a small batch file needs to be run to correct
a bug in the most recent update. (All this 5-line script does is copy a file
'LC.exe_' over the existing 'LC.exe' - the main game executable).

Please refer to this forum thread:
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=10011

On Ubuntu 10.04+WINE 1.3.5 the game installs and runs an initial launcher. This
updates itself. After update is complete - immediately on pressing the 'START'
button a popup window appears: 'This program could not be run itself'
(NB obviously I've worked around the installer bug...)

He was using stable version 1.2 (also on Ubuntu). He reports he has previously
had the game working under WINE (before a recent update).

I ran the game using:
$ wine LC.exe

There is a whole lot repeated output but one line appears in the shell output:

fixme:advapi:ParseStringSidToSid String constant not supported: L"(A"

only when I press the 'START' button on the game launcher. This is immediately
prior to the popup error window appearing.

I have attached the rest of the shell output as a file.

I can confirm that this bug has existed for approx 3 months.
I'm a father to 2 sons that use Ubuntu to play this game, I'm struggling NOT to
install windows ;-)
I tried several fresh install via Playonlinux of LastChaosUSA from week to
week.
If I could I would increase both my votes for this bug and the severity, and
the severity since it makes my life harder :-)

I can add that prior to this "LastChaosUSA update" the game ran perfectly.

Also if a workaround exist please document it.
And if I can help in any way, let me know.

and Playonlinux from :

I found a workaround at last.
For all you that wants LastChaosUSA to work again
My specs is in previous post.
Solution for us was :
1 download some client first ex: lastchaos_us_install_2010?????.exe 
2: create a new prefix via Playonlinux ex: 98LastChaos
   while installing choose "configure wine":
       set it to emulate windows 98
       set it to emulate a virtual desktop

done

Do not use Playonlinux installer for LastChaos since it use a old wine version
Our graphic-card are nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2), 
but i believe almost any nVidia would work.

Hope this helps some of you who wants to play LC

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc4 or higher or is this to be
closed as abandoned ?

Console output from Last Chaos on wine error

As there has been very little activity around this "Last Chaos" bug recently. I
would like to let you know that the issue "game cannot be run by itself" is
still present in wine 1.7.14 (tested on Slackware 14 64 bit)

Does installing ie via winetricks help? Your debug contains lots of ie related
lines.

Why no download link?

https://lastchaos.gamigo.com/en/register

According to appdb last effort was done with wine 1.7.41 (garbage rating).

How big download is this? Would think it works a lot better now.

I have issues getting it install.

I used europe client version the download is around 500Kb.
It clearly needs some dotnet.

I think dotnet45 (with winetricks -q) gave me this website 
http://getdotnet.azurewebsites.net/help/install_dotnet_control_panel.html

winetricks -q dotnet40 wasnt enough it gave me some other issue.
and winetricks -q dotnet30 isnt enough either. It exposes thiskind of error.

Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found:
'System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherOperation
System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(System.Delegate,
System.Object[])'.

wine 2.8. So does it require a compination of these dotnets?

Please retry in Wine 7.9 (or later).
