[Solved] Linux + WINE + Voobly + AoC

 HarryMess

I'm running Voobly using WINE on Arch Linux. Everything seems to be ok, Diagnostic Tool reports all success, but when I launch the game it does not launch and no error is reported. The "Game has been started" window appears and, after about 3 secs, it closes or resume and I'm again in the Game room. Seems to be Voobly cannot find the game.

I can launch AoC out of Voobly without any problem.

Edit:
I attach the log as PDF (cannot see as text because invalid characters). On the log file, apparently, might be a problem with DirectPlay.

Solution:
The solution is to use wine-staging, not standard wine. Everything is explained in this thread:

Hi chris, thank you for your answer.

I've installed DirectPlay from winetricks, I also wiped and reinstall my wineprefix just in case, and it does fix or change the problem.

I'd like to try what you've said about widescreen patch, but I don't know how to check if it is enabled in order to disable it or install the required .Net Frameworks. By the way, do you know what .Net Frameworks versions are required?
