first file that gets loaded

I built this version of Wine to run StarCraft 1.18:
https://github.com/awesie/wine-starcraft

The single player works fine. However, when I click on Multiplayer, there's a
slight delay and it loads
http://127.0.0.1:42475/gamedata/webui/dist/LANProtocolSelectionPanel/LANProt...

then it loads
http://127.0.0.1:42475/gamedata/webui/dist/GatewayPanel/GatewayPanel.html?po...

then it loads
http://127.0.0.1:42475/gamedata/webui/dist/InfoPanel/InfoPanel.html?port=424...

after that, it starts to load the corresponding JS files

and only after all of that, there's a longer delay and it starts to download
http://127.0.0.1:42475/gamedata/webui/dist/lib/fonts/Eurostile-Reg.otf

once that is done, I see text in the Battle.net menu

Also, it starts to download
http://127.0.0.1:42475/gamedata/webui/dist/lib/fonts/EurostileExt-Reg.otf and
when that is done, the text changes in appearance

All in all, it takes a little bit over 30 seconds to finish loading this menu.
It takes as long to show the login modal. It takes this long to show the create
game modal. It takes as long to show player names in the game menu.

While the game is playable when I start it, the delay in making the game often
makes people leave before I can even select my race or see their chat messages.

This is a custom patched wine version.
Please retest with plain wine or wine-staging (development version is currently

Sure, I'd like to see who has this issue and who doesn't. I am on Ubuntu 17.04,
I have an Intel i7-4770k processor and an AMD R9 290 graphics card.

I'm on Zesty as well, running on a quite old laptop with an Intel P6200 (has
integrated HD Graphics). Kernel is a custom 4.11 (could provide my .config, but
I doubt that this is a kernel issue)

As I don't have much experience with wine, I struggled to get this to work and
tried many things over two days. From memory and current config, here's what
currently works for me:
1. set up a chroot to build wine and run the game as explained here:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine
2. apt-get build-dep wine32-development to satisfy the dependencies, added
libva-dev manually, a plain ./configure then gives me no warnings that seem
important, make && make install
3. winetricks corefonts
4. winecfg options:
- default Windows Version is Windows 7, for StarCraft.exe it's WinXP            
- default Staging: checkboxes 1, 2 and 4 checked
- StarCraft.exe Staging: I just realized, that those options are also
application specific...so no boxes checked, which confuses me as the STARCRAFT
note in the src explicitly states to check box 4 to avoid crashes which do not
happen for me
5. I used StarCraft-Setup.exe from Blizzard to install the game, the .exe for
the public test realm also works

I'm not sure if this is any help, but I'd be happy to provide more information.
Or even start from scratch to reproduce my exact steps.

I built it with LXC like it says here
https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Biarch_Wine_On_Ubuntu

but I also have a binary from someone else that I test on, the results are the
same

it also works with WINEARCH=win64 the same way, around the same amount of
delay.

Hi Igor,
I created a custom installer for StarCraft 1.18.x on Ubuntu using the latest
wine-staging source code. Andrew's build was based on 2.6, this uses 2.7 and
you don't need to set XP mode for StarCraft.exe .It works with Global Settings
(Windows 7) Actually, it crashes if you do otherwise :)

Give it a shot, maybe it helps your CEF latency issue.

I just tried the script. It worked well to install the game and get to run. But
it does not actually fix the issue.

I tried running this on 2.8 staging, I'm still getting this issue. I also
switched to LXDE and that didn't affect it.

I have the same issue - running Fedora 25, GNOME X11, on a Intel CPU with
HD3000 integrated graphics.

Using wine 2.8 staging the game installs, loads and plays perfectly without any
modification to wine.

On the other hand, when connecting to BNET the UI interface appears without any
text, unless I wait 2-3 minutes. Whenever I change menus I have to wait another
2-3 minutes for the text to appear.

This issue is not exclusive to Wine as there are people reporting this issue on
Windows/MAC machines in the BNET forums.

I have another machine, running Windows 8.1, where I can play multiplayer
flawlessly from a USB drive. Bizarrely, I run into the same issue if I start
the game from a copy in the machine's HDD - menus without any text.

On another machine running Windows 7, I have no trouble playing from either the
USB or the HDD.

Every time I load the game on the Windows machines, a popup appears asking if I
want to add the game to the Windows firewall. On Wine the same popup never
appears.

Hi,

In my current working no-delay-in-Bnet setup, I found that StarCraft.exe is
spawning a ClientSdkFirewallHelper.exe process to check if StarCraft.exe is
excluded from Firewall or not.

0009:Call KERNEL32.CreateProcessW(00000000,037991b4
L"ClientSdkFirewallHelper.exe -check
"C:\local_games\StarCraft\StarCraft.exe"",00000000,00000000,00000000,08000020,00000000,0390bf94
L"C:\local_games\StarCraft",0032f3cc,0032f410) ret=1006ee90

....
[snip]

with a return of:

0009:Ret  KERNEL32.CreateProcessW() retval=00000001 ret=1006ee90

and generating a FIXME of "fixme:hnetcfg:fw_profile_get_FirewallEnabled
0x12fdb0, 0xc2f5a0"

Now, I am not sure what "retval=00000001" means...An error? A confirmation that
StarCraft.exe is excluded from the firewall? Or something else. Afaik there's
no firewall implementation in Wine.

Here, https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20754425833 Blizzard dev
suggests checking/allowing StarCraft.exe on the firewall using the following
command. (ClientSdkFirewallHelper.exe should be within the same folder with
StarCraft.exe)

"ClientSdkFirewallHelper.exe -allow [Path to starcraft.exe]"

If this solves your popup and delay issue on Windows 8.1 we may narrow the
issue to Firewall call. What I am thinking that, once you enter the multiplayer
menu,  ClientSdkFirewallHelper gets fired but unable to return immediately
causing a timeout and delay for the main StarCraft.exe process. And following
that for each subsequent action, called again..and again waiting for a timeout
to continue.

Another workaround may be deleting/renaming "ClientSdkFirewallHelper.exe". Once
I renamed that file, I didn't get a crash but SC asked me to "add StarCraft to
the whitelist" each time I clicked on the Multiplayer menu. I selected
OK/cancel and again once I got into the Bnet menu, there was no delay.

You can create a more detailed log adding the WINEDEBUG=+relay prefix and dump
the output to a file for further inspection. Search for "FireWall", I hope your
debug output may bring us one step closer to the solution.

I tried this, but renaming the file only gave me the prompt. The Battle.net
menus are still slow. I reverted the change and ran it with WINEDEBUG set to
+relay. I can't attach the whole file, since it's 400MB. I'll attach the
relevant lines.

I think you've got it wrong, the DEV asked a user to download and run a
different utility than the one present in the game folder (same name, different
files ~400kb vs ~250kb). I ran it and it simply added both starcraft.exe and
mdnsresponder.exe to the Windows firewall. When I run the game, the pop up
doesn't show anymore but the problem still remains.

I deleted starcraft.exe and mdnsresponder.exe entries from the firewall
whitelist, and I ran StarCraft from the USB drive. The popup appears, I press
OK but nothing is added to the firewall. The moment I select a gateway and try
to login I get a message from the Windows Firewall asking to add StarCraft to
the whitelist. mdnsresponder.exe is not whitelisted but the game still runs.

It may be worth noting that while the text is not rendered, the starcraft
doesn't lock. I can't still go back in the menus.

Does your wine versions match also if you build from source do you have the
same configuration at compile time?

This bug also affects StarCraft Remastered v1.20.2.2660 using wine 1.15
(staging).

The Battle.net forums have many reports of the same symptoms. Most of them seem
to be related to anti-virus programs or firewalls.

Has anyone had any luck fixing this problem?

Just wanted to update a workaround, it seems like the issue is that the API
that Blizzard are using (is probably Winhttp) which ends up doing DNS lookups
for wpad, which simply times out.

A simple solution that worked for me was to add to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 wpad
127.0.0.1 wpad.lan

Can you get a WINEDEBUG=+timestamp,+winhttp log without the patch?

Resolving a hostname shouldn't take seconds. I can't reproduce it here, can you
check your DNS configuration? What does 'dig wpad' give?

There is nothign fancy in my resolv.conf (It's Fedora 34)
there is simply
# Generated by NetworkManager
search lan
nameserver 192.168.1.1

192.168.1.1 is the router...

dig wpad does return immediately here is the output

After having the same issue as described here, and also having the wpad DNS
query taking 3843 msec (dig wpad output below) I am also available for
providing any more information to get this investigated, maybe having the logs
from someone else too will help narrowing the issue down.

I have also tried adding wpad to /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1 as suggested in
workaround by arilou, but that broke multiplayer of Starcraft completely for
me, so removed them.

Is this also Fedora 34?

Yes, this is also Fedora 34, but the issue happened also on Fedora 33 with wine
staging.

Might be related to the switch to systemd-resolved in Fedora 33 then.

Definitely was caused by that, as disabling systemd-resolved did solve the long
waits. It also explains why Ubuntu had this since quite a long time, as they
switched to systemd-resolved about 3 years ago, in 16.10. That explains why
someone mentioned in a comment that 16.04 doesn't have the issue, and 17.04 has
this issue.

I still can't connect to any battle net servers, which I will need to
investigate and probably report separately (unless it was fixed by other
bugfix, I saw some recent changes related to battle net games in wine), but at
least the resources are loaded quickly.

Fedora 36 here. The long load times are a beat down, and I had no luck adding
127.0.0.1 wpad to the hosts file.

After some research tho, it seems some Windows 10 users found a way to "break"
wpad by adding 255.255.255.255 wpad in their hosts file. Adding it to my hosts
file makes all the menus instantly load.

But I'm not much of a networking guy. I don't know the ramifications of adding
the broadcast address to your hosts file. I was hoping to share my findings and
maybe gain some clarity on this.

Does this still occur with Wine 9.9 or later?
