Magic: The Gathering Arena

Without corefonts, MTGALauncher.exe fails to run with the following error:

Unhandled Exception:
System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.
at System.Uri.CreateThis (System.String uri, System.Boolean dontEscape, System.UriKind uriKind) [0x0007b] in :0

(and 50+ more lines of backtrace)

This output is from wine-staging-6.2, a different but similar error happens with wine-6.0.

This is for a new installation - I don't know if an existing installation will run without corefonts.

With corefonts, it works fine.

Installed via Legendary as suggested.

Attempting to buy gems from the store stalls with a Program Error dialogue box "The program ZFGameBrowser.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close..."

Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

Here is the Details log from that dialogue: -

The installer for the update released today doesn't work at all. I see

In the console and the installer window never shows up.

What wine version did you use? I just installed this myself and everything worked fine.

Version 5.14

tried with 4.9 and 5.13-staging and it does not work, which version are you using ZeroPointEnergy?

I installed it on two different computers, both use Gentoo. Once with wine-5.13 and once with wine-staging-5.15 (with the patch from bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49712 because of the regression)

Here is the script I use to launch/reinstall the game github.com/ZeroPointEnergy/games/blob/master/bin/mtga

With your script worked, thanks! I guess "export WINEARCH='win64'" is what made the difference

I was on a wine32 build. It works fine under wineWow. The environment variable wasn't necessary for me.

It doesn't work for me either. I'm using 5.15.

Here is a tool to install MTGA via an appimage:
github.com/linux-ott/mtga-appimage

Adding a note, will add it to my records in future.

A friend and I both had issues (Laptop running Ubuntu 19.04 and Desktop running Linux Mint 19.3) where we were stuck at update downloading. We had issues getting updates to download.

After taking a look through trace and Wireshark, we found the culprit was relating to ipv6. Since disabling it on both machines, everything has been working since on two new machines.

So it may be something to look at if you're having connection issues in future.

When updating game with MTGALauncher.exe, operating system must be set to WIndows 7.
When OS set to Windows 2003, as I wrote in workarounds, MTGALauncher.exe won't start.

Hi everyone,

I recently got maintainership over MTGA. I'm looking for problems people are running into recently. I will be looking into solving issues related, and posting organized information on how to get things running.

Please respond to this if you're facing an issue, even if the game works. I'll also be looking at writing some patches for wine.

Regards,
Shane

Does not work for me. Cannot find help to make it work . . . tried to submit test results, but have not heard back.

I think I'm having the same issue. It ran like a Champ after the initial install. Now I can't figure out how to launch it again. Have you figured out anything?

Hi there,

I installed wine 5.0 on my Ubuntu 19.10 with the hopes of playing MTGA. The Installation file runs somewhat smoothly (save for a weird commonly occurring graphical glitch where the background is all black etc...) when right-clicking it and selecting "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader". What doesn't work is doing the same thing to the MTGALauncher.exe file which gets created after the installation is complete. Nothing happens.

I've tried typing in:

wine MTGALauncher.exe

in the terminal but it gives me this:

0009:fixme:mscoree:parse_supported_runtime sku=L".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" not implemented
0009:fixme:mscoree:parse_supported_runtime sku=L".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" not implemented
The entry point method could not be loaded due to Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

I'm at a loss and have no clue what to do :|
Please help.

Cheers
Luke

Could you try reproduce thiserror ? Any idea to solve this issue ?

Many thanks for your time and your help.

Hi,
Anyone is facing an issue when running MTGA on mac? I've tried with versions 4.15, 4.7, 4.0.2 and getting always the same error on starting the app.

I've open the bug #47753 but was wondering if someone faced it and found a workaround.

Thanks

There seems to be an issue with the installer that released 25/26 July not installing the game at all. I was able to workaround the issue by following the instructions here: forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/58489

how you got this command line working on mac? if i try it the terminal says -bash: msiexec: command not found, as i expected.

did i miss something or is there a wine Terminal to use?

in fact i did not need the command line but simply use the downloaded msi as executable. But now im stuck in game with the message "not enought disk space. 4,462 mb required"

how to solve this?

btw im new to wineskin

Sorry, only used this on Linux. I just used "wine msiexec /i ./MTGAInstaller_0.1.1595.718832.msi". The msiexec binary should be part of wine and be in the wine prefix under windows/system32/msiexec.exe

to avoid "Fatal error in gc, GetThreadContext failed" while updating there's a little patch in bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45546#c18
if you are using Playonlinux, you can download patched wine 4.9 here 5.135.181.113/wine_4.9_patched.tar.gz
put it in ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/ and choose wine version 4.9_patched in Playonlinux, after update return to your previous wine version

For me using wine 4.7 (OS set to Windows 10) the installer works fine (though for some reason, only in a clean wineprefix). Its Graphics are terribly broken, but it installs the game. Updating doesn't work though, but I will try the workaround so I dont have to reinstall all the time.

The game works great, performance is flawless, and as described in the corresponding bug creating a string "UseTakeFocus" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Drivers\" fixes the game not receiving input anymore after tabbing out.

Other than updating and the tabbing bug I did not notice any bugs, while playing the game intensively ;)

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver\" and set value of UseTakeFocus to "N"

I tested with the following wine versions, every time with a new prefix:
- wine 4.1 (works)
- wine 4.2 (works)
- wine 4.3 (broken)
- wine 4.4 (broken)

Looks like the breakage is somewhere between wine 4.2 and 4.3. I did not test with staging wine so far.

Just for the record: There was a regression introduced in 4.3 that breaks the installer of MTGA. This was supposedly fixed in 4.5 (I did not test this version), but in 4.6 another regression was introduced when a staging patchset was merged upstream incomplete which is now again fixed with 4.7.

So if you have trouble installing, try a wine version =4.7

since last two updates I can't update and had to re-install from scratch
any workaround for updating instead or re-installing?

found "wine uninstall" command, with it is quick enough to re-install, I was creating the whole wineprefix and re-installing dotnet

That "stops accepting input after alt-tab" thing is better of fixed by adding a registry key for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver\UseTakeFocus" and set it to "N"

Thanks!

For me running game on one core only fixed the download assets issue (GC thread error). I needed to restart it couple of times anyway but I was able to download all in the end.

Try running lutris like this:
$ taskset --cpu-list 1 lutris

Given the weird black box issue with the installer, is there a way to tell the install is working? It says "Configuring MTGArena", but it's been there for a while. Obviously I can't tell if the bar is advancing given the graphical hiccup

If anyone is having trouble updating the game, it's probably that you'll need to download the newer installer, and install the game again from scratch.

Apparently some updates can only be executed by `MtgaLauncher.exe` which doesn't seem to work with wine-3.17-staging.
In my case I started with a new wine configuration, and reinstalled with the newest version of the installer available on the Magic Arena website and was able to play normally.

Additionally, it is possible that redownloading the installer and rerunning it will not properly patch the game (lobby loads but matchmaking doesn't work). This is due to the fact that the game will download only the necessary files on top of the current installation but will not successfully produce a working installation.
To fix this, first uninstall the game entirely, then reinstall the newest version from the website.

Yep, I had this happen. I was able to start the launcher which patched the game, and then the lobby loaded fine, but it failed to load the actual game beyond the lobby. I will try reinstalling

OS: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Wine Ver: 3.17 Stagging
Winecfg to Windows 10

Game started and finished downloading al parts. After that a window crash app showed up and then an other window saying that there was a program error and game closed.

Then I realised I was using windows 7 so changed it to windows 10.

Now when I open the game it stucks at "preparing assets" until mac activity monitor shows it stopped working.

I am using 3.16 and set my winecfg to Windows 10. I was able to play closed beta, but open beta will not patch.

The error "GetThreadContext failed" seems to be commonly reported while the application downloads and installs files. Relaunch the application after the error or failing that, redownload the application from the given URL. That seems to work for most people.

These are my results from downloading the files. Tried both wired and wifi. I would not rate this wine install gold based on the install process alone.

And still trying.

So it seems that the issue has been pinpointed roughly in bug 45546:bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45546

The short of it is that it's unstable mono behaviour by unity's mono runtime. The thread suggests to set the environment variable WINEDEBUG=+relay,-debug
Other than that, as suggested clean reinstall, update wine, retry...
To be fair I've seen people complain about this exact issue on windows so I'd say that the issue is upstream of wine at this point.

Try reinstalling the whole thing, on windows switching to beta requires the launcher executable, which doesn't work properly on wine.
