iRacing

Hey guys,

Has anyone tried iRacing on Arch? You can get 3 month free trial when registered here https://www.cadillaccupracing.com/
I have installed iRacing on my PC (download links here http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts … 95096.page ), it doesn't show any errors, I get iRacing logo in systray however it doesn't really work. http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/Home.do tries to connect to http://127.0.0.1:32034 but no process is listening on port 32034. Tried running it as root but the outcome is the same.
I'm not even sure where to start looking for the problem.

Is that a win32 game you're trying to run with wine, or a native Linux game?

If it's a native Linux game, use ldd on the game binary to see if any library dependencies are missing.
If it's a win32 game, there's no guarantee that it will run on Linux - ask on the game's official forums if others have managed to get it to run with wine.

It's a windows game but it released on Linux packaged with Cedega.

With Cedega? Wow, that is really bad. Cedega is dead for 1 or 2 years and they still used a Wine 0.9.x version.

Even so, how do they do that? With Cedega not existing anymore (well, they have a new name, but not doing Wine anymore), how can they legally package that with Cedega?

Ah sorry, it's not Cedega, it's CrossOver ( http://www.codeweavers.com/products/ )

Hi, I'm actually the CodeWeavers employee who did the port of iRacing to Mac and Linux. I'm an Arch user and iRacer myself, so I promise it works well in Arch

First, don't run user applications as root...

EDIT: Actually, before you read the rest of this junk, check that you added your hostname to the localhost line of </etc/hosts>. I missed that step last time I reinstalled, and it breaks running servers on your computer. If you've done that already, read on.

Second, does the iRacing website automatically launch when you start iRacing? It should open in your default web browser each time you start the iRacing daemon. Are you using NoScript or some other similar plugin?

Also, are you using 32-bit or 64-bit Arch?

Anyway, let's get a log file and try to figure out why the server isn't starting. I assume you used the BIN installer? If so, you should find your iRacing program files in either <$HOME/iracing> or </opt/iracing>. There should be a script in there called "launch-iracing.sh". Try running that script like this:
$ CX_LOG=/tmp/iracing.log CX_DEBUGMSG=+winsock,+process,+tid /path/to/iracing/launch-iracing.sh

Let it sit in the tray for a couple seconds, then go ahead and quit the daemon. This will create a log file in </tmp/iracing.log>. Find a place to upload that (or email it to me at aeikum@codeweavers.com) and I'll take a look.

Oh man, thanks! It really was a hosts files issue!
More procrastination for me, woohoo
