Hero lab freezes after install on WINE

[Duggan]

*grumble* Either I'm doing this wrong or this doesn't work for me. It still freezes at the same point as before.

I'll give it a more thorough test tonight, but the original hang is now gone.

Interesting... I just tried this again on Wine 1.0.1 and the Pathfinder dataset works great for me. So does the D20 set.

I tried to obtain a secondary license for install on my Ubuntu box, but I get the following message:

'Accessing the License Management Website' requires a properly installed web-browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

I have Firefox installed and operating correctly... that was how I downloaded HL in the first place...?

It's possible that WINE doesn't report the installed browser correctly, or allow you to launch a web browser from within a windows program. You can get a secondary license by going to:

http://www.lonewolfdevel.com/

And logging in with your license, instead of doing it from within the product.

Hope this helps!

That did it - thanks!

Ah, finally got the right version of Wine. It runs, although all of the buttons are blank and the colors are funny. I also managed to induce a crash while trying to import from Instant Superheroes, but it wouldn't let me copy to the clipboard.

Has anybody gotten PDF output to work in WINE yet? It just creates a 0-byte file and hangs when I try it.

FYI - I was able to get PDF printing to work, but I had to upgrade to the latest WINE beta (v1.1.42). It works great!

But be warned - upgrading WINE will disable your license and you'll need to re-assign it.

I'm trying to get the latest version of HL running on a netbook. I have an Acer Aspire One D255E running Ubuntu 11.04 with Wine version 1.3.27. I've tested this on a Dell Mini10 as well with the same results. The program will launch and let me get into the Pathfinder data set. However after making two or three selections on various screens, adding a level, adding a skill, adding equipment, etc..., the program just closes out with the following output:

Anybody got any ideas as to what might be causing this?

It looks like the problem is in the internet functions - try disabling automatic updates from the settings menu? That way we won't be making any calls to the internet functions, so this problem shouldn't occur.
