Magic: The Gathering Online

No other changes but upgrading to wine 5.6 fixed it

Got it running by patching wine with the following fix:
github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/blob/for-next/docker-wine/wine-OFS_MAXPATHNAME.patch
(pathnames are getting too long)
I will get in touch with wine dev - you can also have a look at github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/issues/79 - the Docker image should be up within one hour

Since the last update from 25th March my installation stopped working :-(

Reinstall gives the same result

The docker image should be working now (github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/blob/master/README.md);
for plain wine setup, you can give a try to github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/wiki#troubleshooting

Everything runs fine, yet when the actual games start there are no life totals being displayed for both players.

I just installed MTGO with wine and I have the exact same issue. I'm running it on Debian 10.0, which is the latest stable release. My wine version is 4.0.1. I haven't seen any solution to this yet.

I have no issue with life total display when using the docker image (github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo) which is based on ubuntu and wine 4.12.1.
The image uses the following winetricks:

winetricks -q corefonts dotnet46 win7 gdiplus gdiplus=native ddr=gdi

Hope that helps debugging it...

Thank you so much, that solved it for me! I used WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine-mtgo" ./winetricks -q corefonts dotnet461 win7 gdiplus ddr=gdi . So almost exactly as you suggested, just dotnet461 instead of dotnet46. I am still not using the docker image. I hope this will be helpful for anybody else having this issue.

The installer seems to install all the prereqs and then opens the MTGO.application file in Internet Explorer instead of executing it.

Wine installation works ok - you need to run this command to fix the "eula image not found" error:
find ~/.wine*/drive_c/ -name 'EULA_en.rtf' -exec sed -e '/^{\\pict/,/^}/ d' -ibck "{}" \;
A few bugs:
-The application will switch randomly when in-game, which is distracting but not too bad
-Life total does not display for either player
-Targets are not shown for spells or abilities

Any help would be appreciated. Most recent version of MTGO, Wine 4.0-rc6, OSX 10.13.6

The eula thing can be fixed by installing native gdiplus
I don't think I've ever had any of the other problems you described, sorry

I'm trying to run MTGO on my MacBook Air. I followed instructions here: github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/wiki/macOS:-installing-MTGO-using-Wine

MTGO loads up and reaches the login screen. Then the screen immediately goes black. The hyperlinks still work though.

Wine Devel gives the following error repeatedly: fixme:thread:NtGetCurrentProcessorNumber need multicore support (4 processors)

Any ideas?

When trying to run the winetricks command I keep seeing error messages like this over and over again:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bd185e0 "virtual.c: csVirtual" wait timed out in thread 009e, blocked by 030d, retrying (60 sec)

And dotnet never tried to install.

What wine version?
Are you using latest winetricks?
You can also try removing "-q" from the command and see if that helps.
Or try installing dotnet452 instead of dotnet46

Removing -q let it get along.

Once I run the setup,exe from MTGO though I just see this error over and over again after it finishes downloading the MTGO client:

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"ThemeResources.resources"
fixme:kernelbase:QuirkIsEnabled3 (0x33ec48, 0xffffffff) stub!
fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"ThemeResources.resources"

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"ThemeResources.resources"
fixme:kernelbase:QuirkIsEnabled3 (0x33ec48, 0xffffffff) stub!


With nothing appearing. There is a MTGO.exe that looks to be started though.

I am using wine staging 2.21 currently btw - forgot to mention that.

There seems to be some regression with 2.21 - I also get those messages and mtgo fails to start.
I'll look into it.
In the meanwhile - 2.20 works

Must be a regression. Rolling back to 2.20 has it loading up here.

Thank you!

I am using staging (2.19), on Ubuntu 17.10.

Installing MTGO with the given steps does work, except that I have no sound. If I install quarts and wmp10 with winetricks, MTGO will no longer launch. I also selected the option "Enable VAAPI as backend for DXVA2 GPU decoding".

The splash screen opens, but then it crashes with the error "MTGO.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close". It seems like the first time it tries to play a sound (there is one on the login screen) is the moment it crashes.

Also, incidentally, for those running i3. I had to enable a virtual desktop in winecfg to get MTGO to launch at all.

Do you have multimonitor system and use non-staging by any chance?

It is mullti monitor, but I am using staging

Works almost flawless some cards do not render correctly - but there were no crashes, even using the trading bots and playing several matches.

Ubuntu 17.10, with x11 xorg (instead of Wayland), how I did:

#install Wine
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
export WINEARCH=win32
sudo apt-get install winetricks

#use "Windows 7"
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

#Select the Default WinePrefix -> Install DLL or Windows Component -> dotnet4.6.1
#It will prompt and install a lot, in the end it should correctly install net 4.6.1
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks

#Install and configure some more things
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks comctl32
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks corefonts
#ddr=gdi instead of ddr=opengl might improve rendering
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks ddr=gdi

#Install MTGO
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" setup.exe

#Run MTGO (you can also run with WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" winefile)
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" wine start Magic\ The\ Gathering\ Online\ .appref-ms

Running on a mac and I get the following error:

./run-mtgo: line 93: xhost: command not found

Any ideas?

Just found the GitHub issue. Should I just follow that?

The Mac OS X support is still on the way...
You can try it by first installing the following tools, using homebrew:

brew cask install xquartz
brew install socat gnu-getopt

Then execute the ./run-mtgo script.
Please give us feedback at github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/issues/3 (if it worked, or if it didn't with the full output of the script).

Hi all,
Interested players can join the "WineHQ players" clan :-)

This can be done by going to Account > Buddies, Clan, Chat > Look for WineHQ Players and contact the captain, or directly send me your user name.

I created a docker image which comes with a fully configured wine (with additional patches for MTGO, kudos to Anton Romanov) and pre-installed MTGO.
It should allow you to play MTGO without any installation and configuration step.
Please see the instructions here :
hub.docker.com/r/panard/mtgo/
Any feedback is welcome (comment on the docker web page).

Oh my god, I've been trying to get MTGO to run in Wine for about 2 years now, and this is the first time I've actually gotten it working. Thank you so much!

(Minor note: I had to remove the /etc/localtime volume mount because on my Archlinux system, it's an empty directory while Docker was expecting a file - but other than that it seems to work well so far. Time to start a league and see how it goes...!)

There are patched pending to fix some more crashes, fix some images not being decoding correctly and to fix black background on mana icons/etc

I guess docker image could be updated with those before all this gets merged into wine and/or staging

I just pushed a new version of the docker image based on your mtgo git branch + staging patches (which includes the jpeg decoding)

I completely forgot to ask - do you have card text rendered in italic or normal font in your docker image? If italic then that is a bug.

They are rendered in normal font.
I played several hours without any trouble, it is working quite perfectly :-)

Well, except with the high CPU usage..

Running stable with very low CPU after the Jan 6 commit.

If you install wmp10 quartz allcodecs then sound starts working as well
(not sure which one of the allcodecs is actually needed or if it can be made to work with native quartz ... you can experiment)

Thanks a ton! Working great for me in Arch.

wincodecs is the one doing this for you.
You can just test that by removing wincodecs dlls from dll overrides (or setting them to native)

Awesome!!!
Many thanks :-)
Regarding the crash some time after login, does the wine version at github.com/theli-ua/wine/commit/178104b59b0415fd24f48a14f921a30d03fcef3e fixes it?

Yeah, it *should* work.
There is a better version of the patch in the works though.

I gave a try with both mtgo-dwrite branch, and tree at commit github.com/theli-ua/wine/commit/178104b59b0415fd24f48a14f921a30d03fcef3e
in both cases I still get a crash some time after login, triggered through dwrite and libfreetype. I'm not sure it is the same issue, so I post the debug trace just in case - if you are interested in more debugging let me know how I can help.
pastebin.com/dc9ii2tk

Thanks

try mtgo branch with this patch on top of it
source.winehq.org/patches/data/136421
This is that "better patch that is in the works" that I mentioned

And btw, make sure you completely kill wine with
wineserver -k
Between trying different branches/patches with mtgo

Also, keep in mind there is also some random mysterious in-game crash that happens within an actual battle
And when it happens - when you restart client it'll tyr to rejoin and crash again .... and again ...
I'm not even sure yet how to debug that as there is no related wine crash

It works quite nicely!
I've been able to play several matches without any trouble (except CPU at 100%, but that's already a lot better than within VirtualBox which blocks all my RAM).
Once I got a X error (BadAccess) but it might be due to the isolated environment I use to run wine (within docker) - I'll keep watching and debugging.
Many thanks for your work and effort to make MTGO playable on Linux, this is really amazing :-))

I get crashes consistently whenever a token is placed on the board. It crashes when trying to render token card.

Does this (not) happen to you?

A few tokens have been placed during the couple of matches I played, no problem with that so far.
Thanks for the feedback on the CPU, I'll try to debug why it keeps eating a full CPU.
Maybe I should also test with all the staging patches (currently it is only the mtgo branch + the patch you indicated me).

Thats weird. For me thats consistent. Tokens were from AKH/HOU, this may matter.
Anyhow I've got to the bottom of the issue here: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43527 with a proposed one-line fix. I'm not sure yet would that be the best fix so waiting for feedback on that one.

I figured out why I don't have the crash with tokens (I played recently with AKH/HOU): I have no LANG defined in the docker container, thus I guess nls is not used. You can try with
$ LANG= wine mtgo.exe
(with wineserver killed) it should work without any patch.

Well, I'm pretty sure I've tried with empty LANG/etc and it didn't gave any effect on the outcome.
Anyway, that bug is fixed in wine master already anyway.

Also, my CPU usage is pretty low

Regarding the CPU, troubles start when visiting the "Collection" tab. Maybe it is due to the high number of cards that it (pre)renders. Leaving the tab does not stop the computations.
Wine endlessly outputs lines like

Hi,
I'm giving a try to MTGO with wine 2.14.
Besides the crash some random time after login, I'm also experiencing quite weird colors :
pasteboard.co/GE0J9Bu.png
It looks like some 32bits/64bits issue, but I really don't know where to start looking for...
Any idea ?
Thx

I do not experience this. Do you have something installed in your prefix other than dotnet452 ?

From a fresh wine install, I did the following commands:

export WINEARCH=win32
sudo winetricks --self-update
winetricks corefonts vcrun2015 dotnet452 windowscodecs
winetricks win7
wget mtgoclientdepot.onlinegaming.wizards.com/setup.exe -O mtgo.exe
wine mtgo.exe

so there are a few additional tricks than dotnet452 ; is there any one I should remove?

Thanks

Hi Guys, is there anyone who playing MTGO with current client? My wine start crashing right after logging into account. Wine 2.11 + Fedora 25

I've tried it couple of days ago. It worked.
Though I do not have an account so all i've tried was "Free trial"

I can confirm that trial mode is working. Also I can confirm that playing via account worked something like a month ago. Not 100% stable, but worked
Currently the game is crashing on data loading right after logging in.

I've created an MTGO account to test and I opened a bug to track this issue bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43453

Thank you very much Anton.
My Linux distribution has been upgraded recently, so I did MTGO a try using new packages. For now my tests ran using Fedora Core 26 x64 + Wine 2.13 staging
I've created 32-bit prefix and installed corefonts vcrun2015 dotnet462 using latest winetricks from github

This time MTGO client have crashed complaining on MS.Internal.Text.TextInterface.Font.CreateFontFace()

Wine console output: textuploader.com/doq8a
Backtrace: textuploader.com/doqe8

Also wine did not kill process after crash leaving some garbage running
ps -aux | grep wine output sanitized: textuploader.com/doqe3

I've got this one once or twice as well. This does not always happen to me. So trying again might just work, as this only happens in first minutes after loggin in.
Some race condition as well unfortunately :( ....

Actually, that get_cached_fontface gets triggered pretty often making game unplayable even with SSPI fix.
I have a test patch that fixes that for me as well. I plan to work on those more and submit to wine-patches.
(See linked bug reports for details on issues)

On the wine page for .net, they have a verification tool.

Ctrl + f for "Verify .NET Framework installation using .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool (Microsoft)"

I got this working with some time and effort, the big trick was to make sure that dotnet 4.5.2 was correctly installed. After that, I ran the program several times, got halfway through a few games, but had to close when I hit the error

"wine: Call from 0x7b43c26c to unimplemented function windowscodecs.dll.IWICPixelFormatInfo_GetBitsPerPixel_Proxy, aborting"

Which is what killed it. I think this is going to stay this way for now.
If I knew what the function did, I could write it and make a pull request.

My guess is this should be fixed by installing windowscodecs with

winetricks windowscodecs

The description of this function is available at:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee719714(v=vs.85).aspx

First please created stub of this function (which will always returns S_OK), and it could help workaround crash during run Magic.

when you say make sure dotnet working correctly how did you verify?

I accidentally made another comment about it, just go to the dot net page and use their tool

just updated the client had it working OK while running staging 2.5 on Debian stretch had some graphical problems with cards mana cost but everything else seemed to work well played a few matches. However after the update for MTGO I think it added art for the new masterpiece cards I get the following error usually after logging in. Anyone else getting this or have a solution? I updated to staging 2.6 same error.

Thanks

Hello, i'm running 2.1 staging and get the following error after installing

pastebin.com/Fe5L9eEv

Does this happen to you just when you run it or when you try to log in?
It still works for me :-/

Just when I try to log in..

Does "Free Trial" work for you?

Jaroslav Smutek writes about infinite loop.
I did winetricks dotnet452 corefonts, can start installer, setup is downloaded and after some time I get a infinite loop:

Can anybody confirm this and maybe even has a workaround?

iirc it was something similar for me as well. If i'm not mistaken - installed dotnet45, then manually run 4.5.2 installer (ie not thorugh winetricks) . That worked (not sure if it instaled entierly correctly but MTGO works perfectly fine)

I am also getting an infinite loop. Have tried wine tricks to install dotnet45 with manual 4.5.2 and wine tricks dotnet452 with the same results. As a side note, once the program is installed it isn't clear how to launch as in windows it is launched with a ".appref-ms" file on the desktop or in thw start menu (Magic The Gathering Online .appref-ms).

I didn't get an infinite loop last time I tried with 2.0 and clean prefix. Though I think for w/e reason I had to try it twice - removing prefix for each try for it to work. (timing issue?)

As far as how to launch - I just always launch that setup.exe file as it will not redownload once the game is installed - just launch it.

Also keep in mind that due to missing cursor the game will crash when enterring the game - this is fixed with 2.1 release

I get this type of loop :/ in a win32 prefix installed dotnet45 with winetricks, and then manually 452. Had same problem if install dotnet452 through winetricks

Same with wine-git 76644a7c26f2c2b3a5968665c349b45bdb294387(latest). winetricks dotnet452 corefonts
Tried winetricks dotnet45 corefonts + dotnet452 manually before like Anton Romanov said, too, but nothing has changed.

Winetricks sets win2003 and it prompts, that another version doesn't work. But your cannot install without setting win7....
