[Feedback] [LIVESERVER] New downloadable client.

[lordloocan]

Got a guild mate who was able to login yesterday and earlier today. When he came back this afternoon to login he was told he has been blocked for trying to login too many times. He waited 20mins but still gets same message. Anyone else the same or got suggestions?

BB, please fix the installer or upgrade the install guide and provide info about running the app.
I am trying to help a friend, running W7, and i need to manually install different files that are not supplied with the installer.
I had to install vc_redist.x64 but the app does not launch. And the event starts tomorrow morning.

In the end the app, does not launch. :|

Hi!

I managed to fixed the issues I had with legacy login and get the new client to run on Linux (Pop!_OS 20.04). This potentially would also work for Mac users.

Based on:
https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/...t-login-issues

How to potentially fix legacy login issues:
1. Login using UPlay (create a new account if necessary), but don't finish registration
2. Cancel the registration (click complete registration at the top and then click cancel registration)
3. Login using legacy (it magically works now for some reason?)
4. (Optional (not really)): Link UPlay account to legacy account to avoid issues in the future.

How to get the client working on Linux:

Requirements:
- PlayOnLinux (4.3.4 in my case) (https://www.playonlinux.com/en/)
- Wine 5.0.3 64-bit (probably? I tried with 5.20 and 5.19, they didn't seem to work) (http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.ph...or%20POL%2FPOM.)
- Maybe winbind? I installed this at some point because of an error I was seeing, not sure if it did anything (sudo apt install winbind, or something similar)

1. Install the client into a new namespace in PlayOnLinux. (for me this created a shortcut named 'The Settlers Online' in PlayOnLinux)
2. In any browser with a network log (e.g. Chrome), login to the TSO website and click the 'Play Now' button.
3. Find the link starting with 'tso://' in the network log of the browser and copy it. (https://developers.google.com/web/to...vtools/network)
4. From a command line, run:

playonlinux --run The\ Settlers\ Online "the_link_you_just_copied"

Example:

playonlinux --run The\ Settlers\ Online "tso://lang=en-uk&e=true&ubb=true&bb=http%3A%2F%2Fw02bb01.thesettlersonline.com%2F&s=https%3A%2F%2Fubistatic-a.akamaihd.net%2F0018%2Flive%7Chttps%3A%2F%2Fubistatic-a.akamaihd.net%2F0018%2Flive&chatS=http%3A%2F%2Fw02chat01.thesettlersonline.com%3A80&chatB=http%3A%2F%2Fw02chat01.thesettlersonline.com%3A80&country=NL&realmBeta=false&realmLang=uk&dsoAuthUser=1234567&dsoAuthToken=fakeauthtoken&baseUri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesettlersonline.com%2Fen&realm=2

5. At this point the game should launch and start loading. You will probably get some errors like:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF at address 000000007BC6ED88 (thread 0080), starting debugger...

This happened a few times for me but each time the game seemed to get further in loading/broke at a different point, and after a few times it loaded up successfully.

Make it easier to launch the game:

The original post mentions using xdg-open to allow launching the game from your regular browser just using the 'Play Now' button. It didn't work for me but it basically says:

1. Create a .desktop shortcut:

cp /usr/share/applications/PlayOnLinux.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/TSO_Client.desktop

2. Edit TSO_Client.desktop to look like the following:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=TSO
Comment=The Settlers Online
Type=Application
Exec=playonlinux --run The\ Settlers\ Online %U
Icon=playonlinux
Categories=Utility;Emulator;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/tsorc;text/html;

3. Associate the tso:// protocol with the desktop application

xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler tso TSO_Client.desktop

This should make it so the game opens automatically when you click the 'Play Now' button from the browser. Didn't work for me but it might for you?

Cheers!

Edit: Got the xdg-open to work, the protocol should be tso, not tsorc

thank you so much. i could not log into the game. i was very annoyed.

in despair now - tier 4, blockaded and still no game. come on bb give us something to feel some joy about

[IainC]

It's 12 noon now in Germany, and there are no updates on the homepage, no official posts on the forums by anyone from BB. Not even a 'we are aware of the problems and are working to resolve them' non-update.

This is just shockingly bad.

[PeterSteen]

the game was running yesterday and early this morning and now when i try to start it i only see the client in my proccess window (task manager) but it never start the client in a window so i can play.

This is getting really annoying, also had common issue with "unable to update client" after patch friday.

have all from BB gone on Holiday?
if not please join the battle and give pepole some information about your staus with the issues.
