Bug #: 30484 Summary: rFactor 2 launcher UI does not detect machine setup Product: Wine Version: 1.5.1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: limited_choice@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 39865 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=39865 WINEDEBUG=+trace wine "Launch rFactor.exe" &>~/rf2-trace.log
Game is currently in beta devel (current build v0.69) -- one can use/participate with the beta release on the condition that you are prepared to pre-purchase a usage license. That purchase must be made via facilities built into the game launcher UI, however this is not working for us, with the 'Purchase' page of the launcher always displaying the error text of ;
"A detectable CPU, permanent storage device, and Ethernet or wireless (802.11) card are required to purchase the simulation. Currently, this application cannot detect these components. If these components are available and you believe this message is an error, please contact support@rfactor.net"
...and as such, one cannot purchase a license. I did actually email the support email cited, but the reply was merely a 'seems wine is not compatible' type of answer. Other functions of the launcher UI seemingly work, including the config utility (which does detect GPU setup).
Issue can be reproduced by downloading/installing the latest beta offering from the following URL, starting it, and clicking on the 'Purchase' tab in the UI ;

--- Comment #1 from Mr Nobody limited_choice@hotmail.com 2013-07-21 22:41:36 CDT --- As of wine-1.6 ; the launcher is now happy it detects a CPU, however, it still complains about not finding a suitable networking device or harddrive storage device...so some progress..

--- Comment #2 from Mr Nobody limited_choice@hotmail.com --- Problem still present in wine-1.7.12 however now at least the simulation engine itself runs to some degree.
Free demo can be had from the following location, see appdb page for details of getting it to run;
