Summary: Age of Wonders : Shadow Magic, Can not create or join a
network game (directplay 8)
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.1
Platform: PC
URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version
&iId=3101&iTestingId=14987
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: directx-dplay
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: christopher.lindemann at gmail.com
CC: kai.blin at gmail.com
Age of Wonders II "Shadow Magic" and Age of Wonders II "The Wizard's Throne"
both fail to initialize a network game. The Lan button does nothing when
clicked. Here is what the console outputs when clicking it:
err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from
apartment threaded to multi-threaded
fixme:thread:SetThreadIdealProcessor (0xfffffffe): stub
The recommended correction for directplay problems, from the wiki,
<url>http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames?highlight=(directplay)</url>
does not work. Using the native dplay dlls, creating the dll overrides, and
using regsvr32 to register them etc.
What does work is if you install MS directX 9 using winetricks
<url>http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks</url>
Taking the system32 directory from a wine which has been 'fixed' with DirectX
9, and pasting it into a standard wine install does not correct the issue.
Even when the overrides are added and all dp* dlls have been reregistered with
regsvr32. It appears to me that registry keys are added by the official DX9
installer which AoW2 and AoW2SM require.
For testing purposes, the demo of AoWII can be downloaded here:
