Wow stuck to Authentication Successful prompt. Ubuntu

Synchronize

Hello guys,

I am new to this server as the hype on the internet is on and thought I could give it a try. Performed the steps from the main page for setup and then opened the launcher and let it download fully.

After entering the game, logged on and then chose one realm. It got stuck as it said authentication successful and wine started crashing. Tried the same thing on the other realm, and same thing. I am currently owning a gaming laptop Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 , i7-10750H .

Is there anything I am doing wrong ? I have tried opening the client from the terminal with "wine Wow.exe" in its folder and I m getting an error that the client is not configured properly and should reinstall it ( possibly I'm doing it wrong since I know there's been some configuration done to the Wine at the main setup ). I am not familiar with wine that much as I used it on normal wow clients such as Cataclysm and WOTLK.

Thanks

@Synchronize This is the error captured in terminal related to wine:

If you have taken all the steps, you would also have made a wineprefix for the 32bit libraries, mono and what not. If you have skipped that step, then please do so right now.

Running the game with wine WoW.exe won't do you any favors for 2 reasons. First up you are running a default wine session, which will cause errors. Second you are targetting wow.exe and that should be ascension.exe in this case.

Adjust paths to your local install, but do me a favor and run it with this command:

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.config/projectascension/WoW wine $HOME/location-of-gamefolder/Ascension.exe

Feel free to post the output of that command (at least last few lines like you did earlier)

Will monitor the thread for updates.

@Chielus Hello,

Thanks for your help.

So I've ran all the commands from this link:

https://ascension.gg/download/unix

Also have tried to run wow with the command you mentioned and have the same issue. The errors that are generated are looking like this:

0047:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7be9e150 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0047, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)

0036:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x2397d24c "?" wait timed out in thread 0036, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)

Thanks for your help again.

@Synchronize Hello,

I have tried to run the steps again in the Setup section and have come across some errors, which I don't know if they are important or not. See below the output for the following command:

@Synchronize Hey there, seems like the website hosting of the windows package files is not properly certified.

Rerun the last command with a added parameter:

winetricks win10 ie8 corefonts dotnet45 vcrun2015 --no-check-certificate

This feedback is actually provided by the terminal itself while displaying the error. Just a quick rundown what this actually means:

The download site, called a File Transfer Protocol server (FTP), cannot guarantee a secure connection through accepted certification, only self-made certification. Ubuntu doesn't like it when files are being downloaded via a script, through a self-certified connection. So it refuses to download and/or execute the files, unless you as a user tell it to --no-check-certificate with this download and just run everything like it was certified as Ubuntu desires.

Bit of a mouth full, but that is about as short and accurate as I can put it.

Give it a go

I ve tried to open up the game again but same problem. I will reinstall the game and see if that helps since opening and connecting to the server works with no problems, it's sjust when entering the character page to create a new one that freezes.

Searched the error up and found this https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/621

Could be something related to my ISP. However, I do have 2 VPN that I have tried and I still get the same error. The solution provided to update ca certificates in that thread did not help either.

Thanks.

@Chielus Hi again,

So I've downloaded another 3.3.5a client and basically used the launcher for that wow folder. Still have the same problem.

Do you have any thoughts ?

Thanks!

@Chielus Looks like I get this error when I try to run the normal command without the script in terminal:

This is a jank fix, but it's a fix.

Use this wget command to download the file, put it in the right folder that the scripts expects and run it again. It should skip cause "already downloaded" and just execute it.

wget https://web.archive.org/web/20160710055851/https://download.microsoft.com/download/WindowsInstaller/Install/2.0/NT45/EN-US/InstMsiW.exe

Again, it's jank, but it's a short-term fix. Am in contact with winetricks team and have send them this issue, I have the same issue on my isp, through onion network and vpn.

Hope it helps.

MissDemeanor

resurrecting this thread as it seems to apply to the Steam Deck in gaming mode, getting stick with "Authentication Successful", mouse still moves around, audio glitches/repeats, program stuck at the auth message.

Running in desktop mode does work perfectly, its just SD Game Mode thats an issue, im not even sure how to recover logs if any exist at all when run via game mode.

Anyone got past this issue? or am i stick in desktop mode, which i would prefer not to have to launch first as it makes using the controller options a royal pain in the behind.
