Hellgate: London Forum

I know that this game is "known not to run", but I tried it anyway.

What I've done:
-I've installed the game into an new Windows 2000 bottle
-I've copied the language.dat from my Windows-installation
-I've applied the official patch(1.2)

After that at least the launcher starts, but if I choose either Singelplayer or Multiplayer, the window colses. I tried to run it in console and got this output:

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x02602000 at address 0xeaeb90 (thread 0018), starting debugger...

I am using Crossover Games 7.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 (incl. workaround for CO)
Thx for any help.

Unfortunately, it's hard to know what's going wrong. The stack trace in the crash log that you posted shows only code that's part of the game. What that usually means is that the game previously called into our code and got back a result that was incorrect or incomplete. I'm afraid it would take some intensive debugging to try to figure out what actually happened and why. 😥

Oh, I should have said: we just recently released version 7.1 of CrossOver Games, so it can't hurt to try again with that. 😊

Thx, I will try that and response then.

(sorry for the late response)

Hellgate is still broken. The issues are:

One) Mouse pointer becomes invisible when starting. Clicks ARE registered however.

Two) Networking breaks after the initial pass of login credentials to the server. Username/password verification does work, it's the hand off to the next server where it breaks.
