[Bug 24590] New: [Settlers 7 Demo] Game waits for an event on the splash screen

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24590

Summary: [Settlers 7 Demo] Game waits for an event on the
                    splash screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.4
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The Demo installs fine and gets successfully updated.

However it seems to wait for an event at the splash screen.
The game itself is never entered and there is no more output in the terminal.
The splash screen also does not freeze or crash. It continues to display the   
spinning circle.

I received a tip that replacing just ubiorbitapi_r2.dll is enough to get the
launcher working.  After testing I can verify that it is indeed so.  You can
grab the working version of the dll here:

http://static3.cdn.ubi.com/orbit/patches_launcher/0121/ubiorbitapi_r2.dll

As for the actual problem.  I think it has something to do with I/O completion
ports.  Perhaps writes don't generate events as they should, or some types of
I/O objects don't work properly, or new events overwrite already queued ones. 
Some tests need to be written for this, and I don't have time for it right now.

This dll really makes the launcher work and the game start.
I see that this dll is on an official Ubi server.
So was there a bug in the dll?
Does the problem with the spinning circle also exist on Windows?
If so then it might not be a bug in wine.

It works correctly on Windows.  Ubi made some enhancements to I/O handling in
the DLL, and these enhancements turned out to be incompatible with wine.  See
my above message for my suspicions of the nature of the problem.

The latest version of Ubisoft Game Launcher (0126) doesn't work with wine
1.3.14
The Mikko's solution doesn't work too because even if i change the .dll, the
launcher is automatically updated.

No solution for the moment. I don't know how to search to try to make a
patch...

0126 works for me.  Let it update itself, then replace the DLL with the one in
the comment above, and it shouldn't update itself again.

md5sums from relevant files on my installation:

e412b33408edcfb08d396cae506a59db  UbisoftGameLauncher.exe
4308a39cbc1473fc0792d0c04f897610  ubiorbitapi_r2.dll

version.txt contains the string "0126 \r\n"

So, if i understand. I update the Ubisoft Launcher to 0126 and i replace the
ubiorbitapi_r2.dll (version 0126) by the ubiorbitapi_r2.dll (version 0121) ?

There isn't a solution to resolve the problem ?

With the release of Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood, the Ubisoft Launcher was
updated. The new version is 0262.

Now with it, it's possible to connect at the server but if you read my post on
the Wine Forum : http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=11562

The game crash (not wine) because he think that there is an other game who use
the launcher too, but it's wrong.

Pastebin for the output console : http://pastebin.com/jwmmtcje

Which option can i use with WINEDEBUG to find where come from the problem?

Thanks

Settlers 7 can not be tested anymore. When the game is run, it asks for update.
After that is says:

"This demo has officially ended. If you would like to continue playing, please
purchase the full..."

Is this still an issue for Assassin's Creed II?

For Assassin's Creed II / Brotherhood (and PoP : Forgoten Sand), the launcher
works correctly at 100%. You can update your game, update the Ubisoft Game
Launcher and to connect it without problem.

There is a new problem, impossible to launch the game in Online mode, see the
latest comment :

Then let's mark this one fixed. New problem should go into new bug report.
