RPGM won't acivate in Wine

[Tigersong]

Hey. I've tried installing every version of RPG Maker I own over the last few days (MV seems to work if it's acquired through  Steam, but throws an error related to the QtWebEngine). When I tried inputting my product key, the same thing happened with both MV and VX: the clock icon appears and spins, but nothing happens. I could only run the trial version of VX despite its being installed in Windows, no problem. The difficulty seems to be that I want to run it in Wine- version 1.6.2.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds as if something blocks the programs from connecting to the activation server.


Have you tried this several times with a few hours between? Because sometimes it's the internet connection or the hoster that is down. And it would be useless to search for a local error if there is none...


That said, if it happens on different days then my first guess would be a firewall or something like that blocking access, especially through something like Wine which adds another data layer to be passed.
