Linux Mint 21.1 (Vera) won't load characters after successful logon
-
Hi there,
I'm having issues getting -into- the game. I'm running Linux Mint 21.1 (Vera)
I followed the install instructions for Ubuntu here:
https://ascension.gg/download/unixThe game always boots from:
~/.config/projectascension/WoW.resources/client
$ wine Ascen*It boots up fine. Logs in fine.
I can select a realm then it says 'authentication successful'
It goes to grab my characters and hangs every time - same error.The command line is saying:
0130:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 7BC62360 "dlls/ntdll/loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0130, blocked by 0024, retrying (60 sec)It will say this error over and over and eventually, I'll get the "Ascension is not responding pop-up".
I read in another post to download the current Wine and reinstall from the beginning and I have and still get the same error.
Any direction would be really appreciated as it appears to be failing some sort of authentication?
Thanks!

If you have Lutris, you can find a linux installer for ascension through there and give that a try. After following instructions (and you'll have to follow them exactly), you will be able to launch the game executable through Lutris.
The only annoying thing is that for game updates you'll have to run the linux launcher (you won't be able to launch the game from the launcher, it will error out), and launcher updates are a pain to deal with.
Hope this helps.
