dedicated server 4.09m on linux with checkRuntime=2 (!SOLVED!)
 

hello everybody,

i get this error when i set checkRuntime=2 in confs.ini, running DS 4.09m on linux:

checkRuntime=0 and 1 works without probs.

Does anybody get crt=2 running DS (4.09m) on linux? :rolleyes:
Thanks in advance ...

I think there are a few games where the anti-cheating systems get upset by WINE. I don't know how to fix it, but then I had no success getting the game to run in WINE either. I'm not sure it's possible to avoid this one. Did you try looking at the WINE AppDB?

Thanks for your post Grunch.

There are some search hits for winehq and il2 but nothing about the DS and crt=2. As i wrote before i am able to join n play with crt=1 but not with crt=2. BTW i am using opensuse 11.1 and wine 1.1.30 from cvs tree. The client is win7 64.

Thank you KG26_Alpha.

I have an other setup running DS on a win2008 64. This one works fine even with crt=2.

Hi

Well another option would be Wine + Vmware of some sort if you really want the CRT=2

Thanks KG26_Alpha,

but vmware (I would prefer xen) is no option for me because it just emulates an x86 machine and this would make the linux host sensless, IMHO. My intention for linux hosting the DS, is to play around with some files (console.log, event.log, *.mis ...) using perl, maybe apache and mysql. I know it wouldn't cost to much effort to get a working wamp on my already running win2008 installation (crt=2) but you know i would prefer linux. :cool:
But I don't want to get deeper into this cause this (IMHO) would blow the original intention of this thread.
If it really turns out that there is no way to get crt=2 working on linux, than this (wamp) will be the only way for me.

Nevertheless, thank you for sharing your ideas.

greez mugen

Yes you're right. I know them both. :-)

I heard that crt=2 works fine under Linux wine.

Hello II/JG54_Emil,

that would be cool. :grin:
Could you be a bit more specific?
Thanks in advance.

I´m still trying my self since we just about to get a dedicated server.
I was talking to Cro_Ante who has got some long Linux server experience and his answer was that Linux system and CRT=2 are no problem.

I´ll check with him for you and for me again.

CRT=2 and Wine does not work, at least out of the box. The reason is that CRT=2 makes checks outside game too. There were situations when CRT=2 was causing problems just because of different Windows versions (W2K server + XP client if I recall correctly) and even locales (i.e. Japanese). I had no time to try this, but I think it could work if you took system DLLs from Windows and put them inside Wine tree, so that they would be used instead of Wine "substitutions".

Thanks ZaltysZ,

i will try this.

greez mugen

Here is how it alsop can be done

I've tried it. Didn't work with substituted DLL's(WinXP).

I know for sure that 4.08m works with CRT=2 on Wine. I don't know will 4.09m work because I didn't test it.

Hello,

Follow this is how-to if you want to setup IL-2 4.09m CRT=2 server.

a) You will need msvcrt.dll from Windows 2003 server system32 folder, copy that file to wine system folder (probably ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32)
b) start winecfg
* Apllication tab - add il2server.exe and set windows version to Windows 2003
* Libraries tab - add DLL override for msvcrt and set to native

This is all job you need to set dedicated server to be CRT=2 (don't forget to add checkRuntime=2 to [Net] section from confs.ini)

If you want to play game from Linux using wine and be able to join CRT=2 servers use same approach but on Apllication tab - add il2fb.exe

I have test CRT=2 server running @ crosquadron.com:21040

CRO_Ante

Solved!!!
 

Hello CRO_Ante,

thank you so much. This really works.
You're great

greez mugen

Now when it works it I would like from you to post this info on other forums where have you asked this same question. You never know when someone will need this information.

Regards,
CRO_Ante

Done! :-P

Thx again!
