prophetarmed said in Quantom of Solace Wine Incompatibility:
Eldor Thank you so much!
It now gets much further than it did before but I am getting
"Error during initialization:
Failed to bind socket, error 10013." on startup.
I've tried various Wine versions and cleared the wine prefix but no luck - do you recognise this error?
Try running with sudo/root.
Thanks for reminding me! A new update that should fix Wine compatibility is now out, you can download it from https://cdn.plutonium.pw/quantum/plutonium-quantum.exe

it is your job to keep it up and find solution for people who cannot use it
No, it is not. If you can't cope with that reality, go ahead and leave.
A solution for this would be an alternative (non-Cloudflare) ingress path for backend traffic, which would have to routed through separate infrastructure. This would likely cost us at least an additional ~$10/month for something that wouldn't immediately die from even a small DDoS attack. Development time would have to be spent to implement this fallback method as well. Are you willing to pool together, say $100 to cover this?
It's likely that they didn't explicitly block us, but rather another site that happened to be assigned the same IP as us by Cloudflare (which we use to protect ourselves against DDoS attacks, among other things). Unfortunately there's nothing we can do on our end with our limited budget to immediately fix this, but you (and others having the same issue) can try to complain to them like Xerxes suggested in hopes that they will lift (or fix) the block if they can.
After further consideration, we've decided to temporarily ban the "Z-TAVERN" servers for a duration of 2 weeks effective immediately. We do not appreciate people monetizing ours (and others) efforts and goodwill like this. No further "rent seeking" or similar behavior will be tolerated, do better or face the consequences. Recouping server expenses is one thing, trying to turn it into a "business" is not.
Eizekiels You've caused trouble before, consider this your final warning.
We don't have very strict rules on what people can and can't do within their own communities, and this drama seems to be largely concentrated outside our core community. With that said, we don't want assholes that ruin the fun for others around either, so we'll take a closer look at this.
What you could do meanwhile, is to chargeback or open disputes for the payments you've sent them (provided it wasn't too long ago), if they indeed have defrauded you.
IUseArchBtw-1 You're in luck, we managed to fix it and will ship this together with some other features in the near future. Login seemed "broken" (failed to open a web browser, could be related to my install or how Wine handles protocols), but works using the manual steps outlined in the announcement post. Thanks for reporting 
Hey, thanks for the detailed post! At first glance it doesn't seem to be related to Themida, I can reproduce the crash you're seeing on a debug build with wine 9.3. Will see if we can fix this with reasonable effort, but Linux support (especially for games) is usually only supported on a "if it works it works"-basis, so no promises.

Installing/updating:
main folder and a jb_mp_s.dll file in it). If you're missing discord_game_sdk.dll or EOSSDK-Win32-Shipping.dll, or if you're getting an "Invalid game version" error, download this and copy the files to your game folder.plutonium-quantum.exe to playLogging in:
When clicking Windows LIVE in the main menu, the game should open a browser and authenticate automatically, as long as you're logged in to the forum. If you aren't, login in the browser when prompted to. The authentication flow should continue automatically afterwards.
If anything goes wrong, make sure you're logged in to the forum in your default browser and restart the game and try again. Some browsers (like Brave) may block the authentication flow, disabling "privacy protection" features temporarily may help (like Brave's "Shield"). You could also try a different browser, and visit https://forum.plutonium.pw/eos/auth after clicking Windows LIVE at least once in-game.
Joining parties:
Parties in this game have been implemented with the "invite to group" feature in Discord. When you're in a party (anywhere but the main menu), you should see "Invite x to Play Plutonium Quantum" in various places in Discord, use these to invite other people. Party members should also be able to do this. Read through this support article for more information.
If you have the Discord Overlay enabled, you should be able to invite straight from the game using that too (requires manually whitelisting Plutonium Quantum in Discord settings first).
Finding games:
Matchmaking is implemented and can be accessed by pressing Find Game in the menu. If any matches for a specific playlist are found, your game should attempt to join it. Otherwise, you will become the host for a new lobby and wait for other people to join.
If you are unable to find games, try backing out and searching again. You can also ask people in #looking-for-games on Discord to make sure there're other people playing.
The game uses peer-to-peer lobbies, so your IP address may be shared with other people.
Changing advanced settings:
To change settings such as cg_fov, com_maxfps, or to set an exact value for input_viewSensitivity, you have to modify the player config manually. The file path is <game folder>\saved\players\<user id>\config_mp.cfg. The file format should be familiar to anyone wanting to do this.
Note: Unlike our other games, we have not made the in-game console accessible. The reason for this is to improve the quality of public lobbies, we may enable it later.
Common issues:
Controls menu (after changing other settings), it should trigger a saveI took another look and it is actually linked to a different account (which does share an IP with your account). If you own this account, you can unlink your Steam account from that one at https://forum.plutonium.pw/me/edit
I definitely get the appeal, and think it could attract new, more casual players if done right, but there're a couple things that makes it problematic.
First off, it'd be very difficult to ensure no one spoofs their/someone else's stats, since we can't trust any single party in a given game. Secondly, I think there'd be little incentive for server owners to run servers like this, since we'd have to restrict most of the customizability that allows them to run unique servers.
With that in mind, we'd most likely have to run them ourselves, which we don't have the funds nor time for at this point, so I guess that's the bottom line on this matter unfortunately.

gijoebo Anticheats again at the root of all problems. I only play zombie so for me the only thing I see are limitations because of it (like the entire Steam Deck platform being banned because of it and ReShade being banned even in LAN mode), but a cool thing would be to see the stats. I love seeing those kind of things it's interesting, it'd be great to have a page somewhere where we can see how many plutonium users got banned by it, how many where in MP, how many where in ZB etc
Steam Deck users account for ~0.6% of our player base.
