I can’t seem to get freestyle gunz to connect. To note, the launcher downloads everything fine, and the game launches fine (I have to launch using the launcher.exe rather than gunz.exe or the game won’t start), but it just gets stuck on “Connecting” and then the game says there was an error connecting to the server. I have followed this tutorial: https://freestylersworld.com/showthread.php?126443-Tutorial-How-to-run-Freestyle-Gunz-on-Ubuntu-with-Lutris and setting lutrus to use any proton version or wine version besides 9.21 I had the same issue of getting to the login page, entering my information, and it says “connecting… 2nd attempt… 3rd attempt…” and then says failed to connect to server.

Only very old proton versions (<5) fail to launch the game at all. If I run wine cmd then ping google.com I get a regular response. Stable, Staging, and development 9.21 versions of Wine would not launch the game after clicking start on the launcher, and with the lutris configuration running wine 9.21 gives this error: 02bc:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000409 flags 1 addr 0x744b63, but running wine 9.21 with a new configuration and installing those libraries using winetricks hangs after these lines: 02c0:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_FIRMWARE_TABLE_INFORMATION action 0

I have tried running the game through steam’s compatibility settings, going from top to bottom until the game no longer launched, and all had the same issue of not being able to connect, but everything else working fine. I also tried running the installer with proton, and had the same issue of not being able to connect. I tried using winetricks without lutris to install msxml3,4, 6, and xmlite, and had the same issue of the game not launching using 9.21 wine and the game launching but not connecting on earlier versions. I found another reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gunz/comments/1dwkgjq/how_to_run_gunz_the_duel_on_linux/ with someone who seems to have a similar issue of not being able to connect, but no solution.

Something maybe of note: winetricks complains I’m using a 64bit wine prefix and installing 32 bit libraries when I install msxml, but the launcher is 64 bit and the game itself is 32 bit and uses these 32 bit libraries.

I’m just running ethernet, only things that show up on ifconfig are enp5s0 (my ethernet) and lo
