Aloha,

I tried to create a new bottle for testing some new game, which would require Steam. There's a nice script for Steam, of course, and this worked for me in the past - in fact, I have two other Steam bottles that are working just fine.
The error I get is basically boils down to (abbreviated, full console output below):
[POL_Wine] Message: Running wine-1.5.25 --version (Working directory : /home/user/.PlayOnLinux)
...
wine client error:0: version mismatch 439/431.


I guessed it somehow finds some component from the system-wide Wine (which is 1.4.1), but if I run POL via (for example) PATH=/home/user/.PlayOnLinux//wine/linux-x86/1.5.25/bin/:$PATH playonlinux it doesn't change anything and I still get the version mismatch error.

So, a couple questions that might help me figure this out
 - how is the "default" Wine version for PlayOnLinux defined? I can't find it in the menus, and the version it selects (1.5.25) is neither the oldest nor the newest I've got installed
 - or is that version determined in the POL install script for Steam? (Where can I find this script (preferrably the version POL just downloaded)?

Any hints on what's going on here very much appreciated! From what I could by perusing Google I couldn't make all too much sense.

  • System details:

  • Debian 7.0 "wheezy", amd64, with bits&pieces from testing/unstable
  • Kernel: 3.9.2 (custom built)
  • Desktop: Enlightenment E17
  • PlayOnLinux: 4.2.1 (installed from the .deb from the website)
  • System-wide Wine: 1.4.1-4 (arch:i386)

Your wine binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?

If your program is running, just ignore this message

(Also, because this is as good a place as any: thanks for the great work, folks! PlayOnLinux has already saved me a couple metric tons of time spent manually patching Wine and keeping a gazillion shell-scripts around managing my different games.)

cheers + thanks in advance,

This usually means some wineserver was still around and didn't get killed when you changed Wine version.
Try the "Close" button; If it doesn't work, restart PlayOnLinux.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that: I already tried "close", "close all playonlinux software", and restarting POL. Also, 'ps ax | grep wine' and 'ps ax | grep exe' show no remnants.
(I also sttace'd POL,. but didn't see anything obvious.)

I'd go for reinstalling Wine 1.5.25, but after that I'm running out of ideas...

That did it - thanks!

(No idea what was going on - bitrot on the harddisk or something else.)
