Bug ID: 53826 Summary: Attempting to install / update battle.net fails with Qt error Product: Wine Version: 7.19 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: adwinebug@adrn.no-spam-allowed.com Distribution: ---

The install program Battle.net-Setup.exe runs for a while, then fails with a pop-up error message of

" This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "". "

Multiple reports of this are in as of Oct 22: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/battlenet-client-doesnt-start-on-lin...

This was apparently triggered by Blizzard doing something to Battle.net.

--- Comment #1 from Adrian Demarais adwinebug@adrn.no-spam-allowed.com --- It should be noted that at least World of Warcraft will still run if launched separately, ie wine wow.exe. WoW will therefore remain playable until the 25th, when the next expansion's changes kick in, making the game unplayable for anyone who didn't download all the patches yet.

--- Comment #2 from Adrian Demarais adwinebug@adrn.no-spam-allowed.com --- Turns out that replacing the current battle.net plugin (/home/whoever/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net.13763/platforms/qwindows.dll

with a qwindows.dll from a previous battle.net folder will allow an already-installed battle.net to run.

I expect anyone attempting a first install would be out of luck, having no previous qwindows.dll to fall back on.

--- Comment #4 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,

Issues in a single application are severity 'normal'. Read more about serverity levels descriptions there: https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs#severity

Does reverting wine to a previous version works around the issue?

Regards.

If you have already updated and experience the problem now, you can fix it by running

setfattr -x user.DOSATTRIB qwindows.dll

on the qwindows.dll file.

--- Comment #16 from PeterG peter.g.anderson@live.co.uk --- Having looked at the Battle.net installation process I have noticed that as Battle.net is installing, various folders and files are created in the wineprefix.

When the problematical qwindows.dll file is created it is initially called something like .qwindows.xxxx.dll.tmp and is subsequently renamed (moved) to qwindows.dll Because this temporary filename starts with . it is seen by Linux as a hidden file and wine applies the h DOS attribute. However, this attribute remains after the file is renamed to qwindows.dll which causes the problem when Battle.net Launcher.exe tries to run, as it can't find the hidden file.

Perhaps we need a piece of code in wine to check whether the 'hidden' DOS attribute applied to a .file needs to be removed if a file is renamed or moved.

Notice that the patches will make sure that future updates work but not fix broken older updates. Those need manual intervention, e.g. as in comment 5.
