[Bug 11290] New: Can't join chat room in paltalk

says that paltalk lets you log in but not join chat rooms.

I tried it out on vanilla wine from today's git on a 750MHz laptop
with 384MB of RAM (hot stuff back in the day :-).
The app seemed quite sluggish, and indeed,  I was
unable to join any chat rooms; when I tried, after
ten seconds or so I got a chime noise that sounded like
I had joined something, but nothing changed on the screen.

There are also rendering anomolies in the genre selection
list (sometimes items are shown under the wrong parent until
you refresh).

The app seems to use lots of embedded browser stuff,
so I'm filing this under shdocvw as a wild guess.

Tried it again just now on a Core2 Duo T7700 CPU.
Here it doesn't seem sluggish (no surprise).
It seems to lock up now a few seconds after you log in.
You can still browser for chatrooms, but you have
to do it real quick after login to do it before
it locks up.

The lockup seems new, not sure what's causing it.
Does it lock up for you?  i.e. if you cover it and
uncover it, does it redraw?

Yes it locks up after some seconds and it wont redraw if you cover it.

Hello all,

I'd like to confirm this bug too,
I can not join or search a room to click on.
It seems the app(Paltalk) can not connect to my internet, I could log in
though.
What I extra did was try to add my friend after he has joined the room and
invited me in, but it didn't work either. :((
Hope that's fixed soon !!! T_T

Paltalk gathers Pc Information including serial to HD when logging in, did you
enter a serial number for your C drive? it can be made hex format 8 digits with
of numbers 0..9 and alphabet A..F example 1ED42BBE

Hi yall!!
Paltalk.exe file works IE as its profile search browser etc. My paltalk loaded
up fully for about 5 seconds, now it just half loads in wines default browser
then a message pops up reading I need to check my firewall or internet
connection then try again. My wine default browser each time zips IE8 files to
the directory, afterwards an error shows saying it needs to close because maybe
a problem in the program or a deficiency in wine. I never have been able to
load-up IE, except once at 1st start it loaded for a sec and never anymore.
Paltalk's exe.file depends on IE. wine 1.3.24

I can't expand room list of my country (Spain)

When I open Paltalk Messenger and join to a room I expand categories room list
and it work good. Also if I expand Europe room list is ok. But if I click in
Spain the program crash and send the message: "Close Paltalk Messenger, test
internet connection and configure your firewall". I configured firewall with
open ports like says in the FAQ of Paltalk site, but not run. My internet
connection run perfectly. Can you help me?.

I'v installed Wine 1.6 RC3 in Ubuntu 13.04 under AMD Quad 64 bits with 4 gb
RAM. The Paltalk Messenger version is 10.3 building 498.

Thanks.

No change since when I first filed the bug.  Well, logging in works a
bit nicer, and you actually see something on the screen when you
hear the chim, but it's still sluggish and can't see or create rooms.

If you do try clicking on 'create room', it usually crashes, e.g.

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xfeeeffba in 32-bit code
(0x7e282db5).
Backtrace:
=>0  TREEVIEW_ValidItem+0x25() in comctl32
  1  TREEVIEW_GetItemT+0x4f(infoPtr=<?>, tvItem=<?>, isW=<?>)
[dlls/comctl32/treeview.c:2106]
  2  TREEVIEW_WindowProc+0x68e(hwnd=<?>, uMsg=<?>, wParam=<?>, lParam=<?>)
[dlls/comctl32/treeview.c:5655]
  3  WINPROC_wrapper+0x19() in user32

It also crashes on exit.

'winetricks ie7' makes the app look a bit better, but doesn't affect these
problems.
'winetricks comctl32' doesn't seem to help.

Any idea if it is possible to reproduce the issue anymore? I visited the
website and and made an account and tried to download the program but it gives
a file with .dmg extension.

It gave you the Mac version. Their not-so-smart home page apparently mistakes
Linux for MacOS, and that's all it offers you in a Linux browser. Spoofing the
user agent in native Firefox doesn't work; downloading in a browser running in
Wine might (I didn't try); downloading in Windows presumably would.

The direct download link for the Windows version is (at the moment)

Seems to be valid issue.

I don't know how this supposed to look nowadays, but it feels like that the
channel list doesn't work as expected, I don't get any info of the users of the
chatroom. All the efforts to join channel failed.

I don't know if the chanel joining needs this function

fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 16 not supported yet

but it's spammed quite often.

wine 2.0.rc2.
