Bug with the Extraction process? #423
Comments
|
can you reproduce it when launching from a terminal and post stdout/stderr? |
After many attempts, the application doesn't seem to have been returning any obvious (to me as a layperson) error messages, but I'll paste an example below now. Also, occasionally it does connect the two players and a game can last <20 minutes but then the connection goes out of sync. Out of 20+ attempts (varying minor things like which map and which races, or whether the IP address is entered or auto-discovered) only 2 have connected.

I've replaced 3.3.2 with 3.3.3 on both PCs (Xubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 22.04) and the extraction error no longer appears. Games can consistently start now but they seem to break in the early game due to various reasons. Two games crashed on trying to play a sound file ("sound 128") - the second time, the sound was switched off on both systems. Another 2 games went to "Connection Out of Sync" - similar to what I found with 3.3.2 on the games that did start. The LAN setup here is pretty solid with most games able to stay up for hours on end. The terminal output (by default) doesn't seem to be tracking connectivity issues but if there is a flag I can use, a log I can find, or some external app for counting dropped packets I'd be happy to do this. |

On starting a multiplayer game, 1 of the 2 PCs returned this error:-
"Stratagus failed to load game data. If you just launched the game without any arguments, this may indicate a bug with the extraction process. Please report this on https://github.com/Wargus/stratagus/issues/new, and please give details, including: operating system, installation path, username, kind of source CD. If you got an error message about the extraction command failing, please try to run it in a console and post the output to the issue. A common problem is symbols in the path for the installation, the game data path, or the username (like an ampersand or exclamation mark). Try changing these. Try also to remove the folder /home/dave/.stratagus/data.Wargus and try the extraction again."
btw, this should mention the need to create a github account
operating system: xubuntu 22.04
installation path: home/dave/.stratagus
username: dave
kind of source CD: GOG installer "setup_warcraft_ii_2.02_v4_(28734).exe"
